OPERATION
Carl Zeiss Coded Axio Imager operation and function controls Axio Imager
78 430000-7344-001 M70-2-0020 e 06/2009
Control wheel for luminous-field diaphragm (
4-1/17)
− Control wheel for continuous adjustment of the luminous-field diaphragm (transmitted light)
Focusing drive – Fine focusing control (
4-1/18), right-hand side
− Control for fine focusing
− 1 revolution of fine focusing control = 0.1 revolution of coarse-focusing control
Focusing drive – Coarse focusing control
(
4-1/19), right-hand side
− Control for coarse focusing
− 1 revolution of coarse focusing control =
approx. 2 mm
− Total focusing range: approx. 24 mm
Condenser carrier (
4-1/23)
− The condenser carrier (
4-2/6) is part of the stage
carrier (
4-2/5).
− Insert the condenser in the mount of the
condenser carrier and fasten it by means of
clamping screw (
4-2/2).
− To center the condenser, turn the two centering
screws (
4-2/1).
− Turn the vertical control (
4-2/4) to adjust the
condenser (condenser carrier) in the Z-axis.
− The clamping screw (
4-2/3) serves as stop for
the vertical adjusting range of the condenser.
The stop facilitates finding the KÖHLER
illumination position again.
Polarizer for transmitted light (
4-1/24)
Various types of transmitted-light polarizers are
available: with wixed or rotatable polarizer or with
additional lambda/4 plate or with additional
neutral-density filter position (cf. System Overview
of Axio Imager, Section
2.4).
• Using handle (4-3/3) swing the polarizer (4-3/1)
(or the neutral-density filter, if necessary) into
the light path until it is reliably fixed by the
detent bolt (
4-3/4).
• If available, rotate the lambda plate or the
lambda/4 plate by maximally 45 degrees to the
right or left by moving handle (
4-3/2).
The color filter carrier is operated
analogously to the polarizer.
