Transmitted Light Hardware
The ImageXpress Transmitted Light option consists of the following
hardware components.
• Nikon phase optics. Allows either phase contrast or brightfield
imaging. See Figure 4-1 on page 57 and Figure 4-2 on page 57.
• Phase contrast objectives. Must be selected for phase contrast
imaging.
• White light lamp (halogen). The software controls the lamp
power.
The halogen lamp has a limited life and can be replaced. For
instructions see the following knowledge base article:

• Transmitted Light shutter. Controlled by the software. The
shutter protects the sample from the transmitted light when not
imaging. The shutter window maintains the environment of the
sample. See Figure 4-3 on page 58.
• Flip-in Lens. Enables phase ring alignment for the ImageXpress
Micro Standard, XL, and XLS Systems. See Transmitted Light
Phase Ring Alignment on page 61.
On the ImageXpress Micro Confocal System, the phase ring
alignment lens is in the emission filter wheel and is placed in
position using the software.
• Hinge. Allows robotic access to the plate if necessary. See
Figure 4-4 on page 58.
• ImageXpress Micro Transmitted Light Option Controller or the
ImageXpress Micro Systems Power & Options Controller. Used
to turn the option on and off. It is shared with the Environment
Control option when both options are installed. See Figure 1-1
on page 11 and Figure 1-2 on page 11.
