3.4 Brightness control and brightness indicator

G Detector temperature warning indicator: lights up red when the MCT detector tem-

perature exceeds its operating temperature. In case the microscope is equipped with

two MCT detectors, a red point lights up left or right in the display depending on

which detector has exceeded its operating temperature.

Note: In this case, the detector needs to be cooled with liquid nitrogen. For informa-

tion about how to cool the detector, see section 4.4.

H Start button: to start a spectroscopic measurement directly from the microscope

using the current measurement parameter settings in OPUS.

Note: Before pressing this button, make sure that either the IR button or VIS/IR but-

ton is activated, the OPUS software program is open and appropriate measurement

parameter settings are selected. (See appendix B in this manual and the OPUS Ref-

erence Manual.)

Fig. 3.5 Control element and explanation

A Brightness indicator: indicates the current brightness intensity of the

visible illumination in relation to the maximum possible brightness inten-

sity by means of a bar graph display.

B Brightness control: Thumb wheel for adjusting the brightness intensity

of the microscope illumination in a continuous manner.

C Icon legend to illustrate how to increase / decrease the brightness inten-

sity
