Fig. 3.14 Component and explanation
A Light path selector lever: Using this lever, the visible light is routed either to the
binocular or to the video camera.
The possible lever positions and their meaning are illustrated in the legend below
the light path selector lever. (See B and C in fig. 3.14.)
B If the lever is pushed in completely, the light is routed to the binocular. In this
case, the sample can be viewed only by looking through the binocular.
C If the lever is pulled out completely, the light is routed to the video camera. In this
case, the video image of the sample can be viewed on the LCD monitor at the front
side of the microscope and the PC monitor using the OPUS/VIDEO software pro-
gram. (Refer also to OPUS/VIDEO Manual.)
Note: The microscope variant HYPERION 1000 is not equipped with a LCD monitor.
