ZEISS FIRST-TIME SET-UP Axio Imager 2
Installation conditions and notes

3.2 Installation conditions and notes
The ambient conditions (humidity, temperature, pressure) specified in Section 2.8
adhered to.
When documenting fluorescence preparations, do not expose the microscope to direct sunlight.
This helps minimize the influence of stray light.
For prolonged experimental procedures using the microscope (e.g. involving incubation or long
image-recording procedures) choose an installation location with minimum vibration.
Vibration stemming e.g. from forced ventilation, floor impact noise or other shocks can have an
impact on the supplementary modules of the microscope, some of which react sensitively. It
can also lead to reduced image quality and experimental errors.
To reduce vibrations at the microscope installation location, ZEISS offers various passive and
active damping options (Axio Imager (000000-0477-190 anti-vibration plate); small, air-damped
system table (000000-1984-812), table top mat TS 150).
Select an installation site which is as temperature-stable as possible for long-term observations.
For reliable long-term observations, the device must first warm up. The temperature equilibrium
is attained within 3-5 hours, depending on the light source, electronics and room temperature
control. This time must be planned into critical studies.
