3.21 Changing the beam splitter in the reflector module FL P&C
In mounting filters and beam splitters, take extreme care to prevent damage to and
contamination of the optical components.
We recommend ordering completely equipped FL
P&C reflector modules, since changing the beam
splitter is quite demanding.
However, if you should choose to change the
beam splitter, follow this procedure:
• Remove the FL P&C reflector module from the
reflector turret (also refer to Section
3.19.2).
• Undo the two slotted screws (3-25/1) with a
screwdriver.
• Hold both halves of the reflector module
together (emission half (
3-25/2) and
excitation half (
3-25/3), turn in the position
opposite to the installation position and put it
down.
• Tip up the excitation half of the module
(
3-26/1), which now is on top, and remove it
from the retaining pins (
3-26/5b) on the bottom
emission half of the module (
3-26/4).
• Remove beam splitter (3-26/2) and spring-
loaded frame (
3-26/3) from the bottom half of
the module.
• Remove the old beam splitter and carefully
place the new one onto the spring-loaded
frame (
3-26/3) with the reflective side facing up
and place both parts together into the bottom
half of the module. Take care to ensure that the
side tongue of the spring-loaded frame is in the
appropriate recess in the bottom half of the
module.
