Fig. 3.4 Control element and explanation
A VIS/IR button: to activate the viewing and measuring mode.
Note: With this mode being activated, the sample can be viewed by means of the bin-
ocular or on the monitor and a spectroscopic measurement can be performed. Acti-
vating this button automatically deactivates the VIS button and the IR button.
B VIS button: to activate the viewing mode.
Note: With this mode being activated, the sample can only be viewed by means of
the binocular or on the LCD monitor. Performing a spectroscopic measurement is not
possible. Activating this button automatically deactivates the VIS/IR button and the IR
button.
C IR button: to activate the measuring mode.
Note: With this mode being activated, only spectroscopic measurements can be per-
formed, e.g. by operating the START button (H in fig. 3.4). Sample viewing is not pos-
sible. Activating this button automatically deactivates the VIS button and the VIS/IR
button.
D Brightness indicator: indicates the current brightness intensity of the visible illumi-
nation in relation to the maximum possible brightness intensity by means of a bar
graph display.
Note: The brightness intensity can be adjusted by means of a thumb wheel (B in
fig. 3.5).
E Reflection mode button: to activate the reflectance mode for reflection microscopy
and spectroscopic measurements in reflection. Use this mode in case of a reflecting
sample.
Note: Activating this button automatically deactivates the transmittance mode button.
F Transmission mode button: to activate the transmittance mode for transmission
microscopy and spectroscopic measurements in transmission. Use this mode in case
of a transparent sample.
Note: Activating this button automatically deactivates the reflectance mode button.
