The transmitted-light contrast methods plus fluorescence are available on the Objectives tab. All the
reflector-dependent contrast methods can be selected on the Reflector tab. This is of particular interest
for reflected-light methods.
The shutter or illuminator channel switches are incorporated into the functionality of the contrast
manager, but can be switched independently.
This variety of possible ways to select or operate a contrast method may seem confusing at first. In fact,
however, it grants the user maximum flexibility since only a maximum of two different TFT pages are
needed for a particular application.
4.8 Operating the motorized microscope via the touchscreen of the TFT display
On the motorized Axio Imager 2, the operator can operate and configure the microscope, set it up for
different users and use optional functions via the TFT- display. The TFT-display has a touch-sensitive
screen.
Coded components (e.g. reflector turret or objective nosepiec
e) can be configured using the
TFT display but not positioned.
However, the active position can be read on the TFT display.
