3.1.11.3 Adjusting the HBO 100
Illuminator
The HBO 100 illuminator is available in two
versions (manual and automatic adjustment).
The HBO 100 self-adjustment model is
automatically adjusted when the power supply unit
of the illuminator is switched on.
The procedure to follow in manually setting the
HBO 100 (Fig. 3-18/1) is described below:
WARNING
To prevent any irrepar
able eye
damage, never look directly into the
ignited lamp. Put on protective glasses,
such as sunglasses, to protect your
eyes when observing the bright light
spot.
• Insert a filter set for GFP (green fluorescent
protein).
• Switch on the fully connected illuminator on the
power supply unit. The burner will ignite
automatically.
• Screw out an objective. Using a free passage,
check the source image on a sheet of paper
held at a distance of approximately 10 mm
above the objective shoulder.
• Using the knurled knob (Fig. 3-18/4), focus the
collector until the brighter of the arcs is sharply
defined.
• Position the light arc and the mirror image
parallel to one another (as shown in Fig. 3-18/5)
with the aid of ball-headed screwdriver SW 3
and the height (Fig. 3-18/2) and lateral
adjustment (Fig. 3-18/3) screws, respectively.
The light arc and the mirror image should
overlap by one third.
