Inserting the transmitted light illuminator arm
• Insert the transmitted light illuminator arm into the col-
umn from above by pressing and holding down the stop
lever for condenser height adjustment (Fig. 29.5).
• Position the transmitted light illuminator arm (Fig. 29.3)
onto the transmitted light illumination column based on
the condenser being used (S40/0.45 or S80/0.30) (Fig. 29.4)
and release the stop lever. (Also see the following note.)
The marks (Fig. 29.6) pertain to a liquid height of 15 mm.
For stands with double marks, the upper and lower lines
represent a range with different liquid heights.
• Make sure that the transmitted light illuminator arm is
engaged.
• Connecttheelectronicscabletotheport(Fig.30.3).
Note:
For the stands with 3-plate mechanical stages, position the
illuminator arm 25 mm below the marks, as the illumination
axis is installed 25 mm higher on an adapter than on the
fixed stage.
Note:
A screw on the transmitted light illumination column pre-
vents the condenser from colliding with the specimen
stage. If necessary, move the screw into the higher of the
two openings, if using the S80/0.30 condenser.
