5.10 Contrast Manager on the Axio Observer 7, 7 materials
The Contrast Manager is only available on the 7, 7 materials stand.
It is used for rapid switching between contrast techniques and for configuring mixed contrasts. This
facilitates the finding of contrasted cells and the allocation of fluorescence signals to a particular position
in the cell.
When a new objective is moved into the optical path, all necessary settings for the contrast technique
used will be applied. This includes both shutter settings and the position of the condenser turret.
If, for example, the user is working with phase contrast, the condenser turret position with the phase
stop for the current objective will automatically be moved into the optical path. The shutter positions will
be retained.
Using the Contrast Manager’s buttons (FL, BF, PH, DIC), it is possible to combine contrast techniques as
required, e.g.: brightfield, phase contrast,or DIC with fluorescence.
