− The positions of the two filter wheels are labeled accordingly and set by turning the knurled wheels.
The filters can be combined in any way.
Slot for FL attenuator, discrete (
4-1/9)
− Use the FL attenuator, discrete, to attenuate the light in the fluorescence path when using the
HBO 100.
− When the FL attenuator is used, the clamping spring points upward.
− To remove the FL attenuator, introduce a screwdriver into the top hole, slightly cant it and pull the FL
attenuator out of its receptacle.
− The FL attenuator has six labeled positions that are set by turning the knurled wheel.
RL button – Reflected-light shutter on/off (
4-1/11) with indicator LED
− Alternately opens or blocks the reflected-light path; function corresponds to
4-1/30.
− The indicator LED lights, when the shutter is opened.
3200K button – Color temperature 3200 K on/off (
4-1/12) with indicator LED
− Controls the connected halogen illuminator to the voltage value that corresponds to a color
temperature of 3200 K. This color temperature is needed for taking color photos on the microscope.
− The indicator LED lights, when the color temperature of 3200 K is set.
TL button – Transmitted-light shutter on/off (
4-1/13)
− Alternately opens or blocks the transmitted-light path; function corresponds to
4-1/29.
− The indicator LED lights, when the shutter is opened.
Light-intensity control (
4-1/14)
− Used to adjust the d.c. voltage supply of the halogen illuminator in the range of approx. 1.8 to 12 V;
function corresponds to
4-1/34 and 35.
− The annularly arranged LED's indicate the set voltage in 15 stages.
Slot for 2-position filter wheels, discrete (
4-1/15)
− When using the HAL 100 halogen illuminator, the 2-position filter wheels, discrete, can be used for
light-intensity adjustment. The unit contains four filters each (neutral-density) mounted on two filter
wheels.
− When inserting the filter wheels, the clamping spring points upward.
− To remove the filter wheel, introduce a screwdriver into the top hole, slightly cant it and pull the filter
wheel out of its receptacle.
− The positions of the two filter wheels are labeled accordingly and set by turning the knurled wheels.
The filters can be combined any way.
Lever for transmitted-light diffusing glass (
4-1/16)
− Leverl in top position: Diffusing glass in light path
− Lever in bottom position: Diffusing glass not in light path
