4.2.2 Fluorescence Intensity Optics
The fluorescence intensity and time-resolved fluorescence light guides are liquid-filled and should be
connected to the excitation and emission positioning wheels.
To position the measurement head with the holders, see chapter 4.2 Installation and Changing of Optics.
Regarding reagent injection: be careful when you position the needles in the measurement head (see figure
15), to avoid damage to the reagent needles as well as to the optic. The optional reagent injectors need to
be available.

4.2.3 Absorbance Optics
There is an optimized optic for absorbance mode available (see figure 16).
This optimized absorbance optic connects to the red-marked excitation-
positioning wheel.
You can also use the combination optic (see chapter 4.2.5).
