until LED turns orange)

Halogen lamp operation:

Turning on the lamp

1. Make sure the light intensity control knob

(5)

is in the MIN (minimum intensity)

position on the microscope frame.

2. Make sure the light intensity control knob

(1)

is in the MIN (minimum intensity)

position on the TH4 module.

3. Set the main switch

(2)

"I"

(ON) on the TH4 module.

4. On the microscope front, press the transmitted light ON-OFF button

(6)

so that

the button is illuminated.

Adjust the brightness with the light intensity control knob

(5).

6. To turn OFF, set the transmitted light ON-OFF button

(6)

to OFF

Halogen lamp operation:

Turning off the lamp

1. Set the light intensity control knob (5) to the MIN (minimum intensity) position on

the microscope frame.

2. Set the light intensity control knob (1) to the MIN (minimum intensity) position on

the TH4 module.

3. Set the main switch (2) to "0" (OFF) on the TH4 module.

Kohler illumination:

1. Rotate the turret (1) to the "BF" position. (Any of positions 3,4 or 5, position 1=Ph1, 2 = Ph2)

2. Sli de t he ape rture iris diap hr agm lever ( 2) t o fully open the d iaphragm .

5. Using the field iris diaphragm lever (3) , completly close the field iris diaphragm.

6. Rotate the condensor height adjustment knob (4) to bring the field iris diaphragm

image into focus.

7. Cen ter the fie ld iris diaphr agm ( 3) using the conden ser centerin g kno bs (5).

8. Open the field iris diaphragm (3) until its image reach the limits of the field of view,

adjust the centering if necessary.

Adjusting the objective correction collar

Correction is possible according to the vessel bottom thickness.

1. When the thickness of the vessel bottom is known, match the scale reading of the

correction collar to the thickness of the vessel in use.

2. If the thickness of the vessel is unknown or diverge from the manufacturer

specifications, the optimum position for the correction collar can be obtained by

judging the image resolution and contrast. When a satisfactory image is not obtain

after focusing:

1. Rotate the correction collar to the left and right, refocus each time and

compare the images.

2 Then rotate the collar in the direction yielding a better image, rotate the

correction collar to the left and right, refocus each time and compare the

images.

3 Repeat this cycle until the position with the optimum image is found.

Prior Lumen200 Metal Halide Lamp Operation:

Starting Up the Lumen

1. Switch the Lumen power switch on.

2. Make sure the ventilation vent on the left hand side is unobstructed or the lamp

will overheat resulting in automatic shutdown and damage to the module.

3. Allow 1-5 minutes for light to reach 70% of output.

4. Allow 30 minutes for the Lumen to reach operational temperature.

Warning:

Do not power down the unit within 30 mins of power up. This may re-

duce the effective lifetime of the bulb.

Shutting down the Lumen

The following warnings apply as damage to the bulb may result if instructions not

followed:

1. Warning: Do not shut the unit down within 30 minutes of powering up the unit.

2. Warning: After shutting down the unit allow 30 minutes before re-powering up or

changing the bulb. Failure to do so is likely to result in damage to the bulb.

Warning: the air
