5-4 Reflected light fluorescence observation procedures
For this observation, the reflected light fluorescent mirror unit must be attached to the OP position of the observation light
path by Olympus.
Attach the mercury lamp housing and perform the centering of the burner before observation. Set the AS PRESET switch
of the objective in use to “1” with which the aperture diaphragm is fully opened. For details, see “Table 1 Recommended
AS PRESET values" (P.100).
When using the mercury lamp housing, the difference in light intensity between the fluorescence and
brightfield observations is increased.
To compensate this difference, insert the ND filter (26ND0.5) provided with the adapter (MX-HGAD) in
the brightfield observation light path. (For attaching the mirror unit, contact Olympus.)
If the observation light is too bright, insert the ND filter to reduce the light.
Set the main switch to (ON).
Place a sample for observation on the stage.
Engage the 5X or 10X objective in the light path
using the objective selection button and
bring the sample into focus.
Adjust the interpupillary distance.
Adjust the diopter.
Insert the required filters.
Adjust the brightness
(illumination voltage).
