Screw holes for attaching optional devices
The base’s top board has screw holes for attaching various
types of devices. Screw holes
(2) to (5) are not penetrating
to prevent ingress of solution into the base.
(1) 2-M4: Positioned under the stage plate attachment
section of the base. Usable for multiple
purposes.
(2) 4-M6: Positioned under the stage plate attachment
section of the base. Used for attaching the
P-DF2 LED Dark Field Unit 2.
(3) 2-M5: Positioned at the center on the top surface of

P2-DBF Fiber Diascopic Illumination Base
The P2-DBF is an illumination base equipped with diascopic
illumination optical systems.
A
ttach a P2-FU Focus Unit or P2-MFU Motorized Focus Unit to
the base.
The base with a large glass plate (180 mm dia.) enhances
usability and enables easier observation of samples in a containe
r
such as a petri dish.
The base has three indents for holding the base: front of the
base’s top board and on the right and left rear.

Sliding mechanism of the stage plate
The sliding parts are mounted on the base part for
mounting the stage plate, which can be slid by loosening
the stage plate fixing screw. There is a clearance gap of
approximately 3 mm around the stage plate when the stage
is securely set. The stage plate can be smoothly and finely
moved within the clearance gap by loosening the stage
plate fixing screw.
This mechanism is useful for positioning, especially for
high-magnification observation.
Securely fix the stage plate in place using the fixing screw
when this mechanism does not need to be used.
 Illumination on/off, brightness adjustment
Attach the C-FLED2 LED Light source for fiber illuminator as the light source to the rear side of the base using a fiber.
Turn the illumination on/off and adjust the brightness using the C-FLED2. For details, refer to the instruction manual
supplied with the light source.
