4.2 Axio Imager 2 operation and function controls (motorized version)
In this section, the operation and function controls of the motorized version of the Axio Imager are
described that are different from the manual version. Controls not described here correspond to the
manual version.
As many components are offered as options, the structure of your microscope may differ from the
following description. It is also possible, for instance, to use manually controlled components (such as
reflector turret, condensers, filter wheels) on the motorized stand. In this case, however, the functionality
of the microscope, particularly its operation via TFT display (touchscreen) will be restricted.
Precise
configuration is essential for the correct functioning of the motorized instrument,
especially the light source(s) used, objective magnifications as well as reflector modules and
filters.
Most of the settings can be made directly on the TFT display (see Section 4.8.6 on page 126).
More specific and less frequently used configurations, such as a special assembly of the
condenser or your own filter sets in the double filter wheel, can be made using the
configuration software MTB 2011 config.exe.
