3.4.6 Change of filters in the reflector slider
In its brightfield position, the HD ( 3-19/1) or HD
DIC (3-19/2) reflector slider contains an integrated
attenuation fi lter D = 0.25 (25 % transmission),
dia. 25 mm.
This filter prevents the user from being dazzled
when changing the reflected-light microscopy
technique from darkfield (D) to brightfield (H) or
from differential interference contrast (DIC) to
brightfield (H).
Unscrew the retaining ring ( 3-19/3) and replace
the dia. 25 attenuation filter ( 3-19/4) D = 0.25
with a neutral-density filter, e.g. D = 0.06, dia.25.
☞
The reflector sliders HD or HD DIC can only be pulled out if one of the dust caps ( 3-19/5) has
been removed from the left or right side of the stand. To do this, unscrew the two hexagonal
screws (3-19/6) from one side using the SW 3 ball-headed screwdriver, remove the dust cap
and pull out the reflector slider very carefully, since a darkfield component projects from the
reflector slider!
