3.1.18.3 Adjusting the HBO 100
illuminator
The HBO 100 illuminator is available in two
variants (manual and automatic adjustment).
The self-adjusting HBO 100 (423011-9901-000)
adjusts automatically when the transformer is
turned on.
Here is how to adjust the HBO 100 illuminator with
manual adjustment (423010-0000-000).
If the FL attenuator is in the reflected
light beam path, make sure that it is
adjusted to 100 % transmission.
• Turn on HBO 100 illuminator (
480H480HFig. 3-34/1) on
the transformer HBO 100 W (
481H481HFig. 3-38/1) and
wait until it reaches its operational temperature.
• Pull adjustment aid (
482H482HFig. 3-33/1) out of the
microscope stand. The lighter colored focal
point of the lamp HBO 103 W/2 and its slightly
darker reflection become visible in the black
glass window of the adjustment aid.
• Use the knurled button (
483H483HFig. 3-34/4) for
collector adjustment in order to focus the
lighter focal point.
• Use the adjustment screws (
484H484HFig. 3-34/2 and 3)
to focus the darker focal point (reflection) in
analogy to the focal point image (
485H485HFig. 3-33/2) in
the inscribing adjustment circle.
Both focal points of the HBO 103 W/2
lamp should be close to each other in
the adjustment circle of the
adjustment aid!
• Replace the adjustment aid in its original
position.
