For visual control, remove lamp cover (2-4/4) by slightly turning it to the left. · Connect cable (2-4/5) to the two sockets on the instrument rear. 2. 6 Retrofit the Transmitted-Light Halogen Illumination Fig. 2-4 Attachment of reflected-light halogen illuminator Transmitted-light observation with the Axiolab A is possible with the configuration described in section 1. 3. The pure reflected-light versions of the Axiolab A can also be upgraded for transmittedlight observation by installing the "Retrofit package for transmitted light" (1-4/7). The transmitted-light illumination equipment can be subsequently mounted to the Axiolab A only by Carl Zeiss service personnel. The transmitted-light illumination package consists of: - mechanical stage 75 × 35 R/A with ceramic surface and short drive, - specimen holder with spring clip R, - transmitted-light illuminator, containing halogen lamp with mount and luminous-field diaphragm with iris, - ABBE condenser 0. 9/1. 25 or ABBE condenser 0. 9/1. 25 with 5-position turret disk 2-6 B 40-015 e 06/99 Axiolab A Carl Zeiss 2. 6. 1 Switch on the Transmitted-Light Halogen Illuminator Normally, the position of the A/D illumination converter (1-5/13 or 2-7/4) is of no importance with the Axiolab A. Only if the transmitted-light illumination is a standard feature or has been subsequently installed, the A/D converter will have the following functions: · the power supply for the reflected-light halogen illuminator is switched on in the upper, pressed position of the converter. · in the lower, pressed position of the converter, the power supply for the transmitted-light illuminator is switched on. To change to transmitted-light operation, press the A/D converter (1-5/13) at the rear of the Axiolab A into the lower position. The functions of the on/off switch (1-5/28) and the "illuminance" control (1-5/27) are retained, regardless of the position of the AD converter A/D (1-5/13) (see section 1. 5). 2. 7 Equipment of Filter Slider · Equip filter slider (2-5/3) with the filters (2-5/2) required for the relevant microscopy technique, e. g. with - neutral-density filter N 0. 06 (6% transmission) - neutral-density filter N 0. 25 (25% transmission) - conversion filter 3200. . . 5500 K for use of daylight color film - narrow-band interference filter, e. g. for contrast enhancement Insert equipped filter slider in the compartment until it click-stops in the relevant position in the reflected-light illuminator (2-5/1). Fig. 2-5 Equipment of filter slider The filter diameter is 32 mm. B 40-015 e 06/99 2-7 Carl Zeiss Axiolab A 2. 8 Set the Luminous-Field Diaphragm · The pushrod (2-6/1) for the luminous-field diaphragm has two positions: - pushed in: the full field of view is visible without restriction. Furthermore, this restriction of the field of view enables reduction of the false light portion of weakly reflecting reflected-light specimens. Fig. 2-6 Setting the luminous-field diaphragm 2. 9 Connecting the Instrument to the Line The microscope can be operated using line voltages of 100 - 240 V without conversion · Connect the line cable (2-7/1) with connector to the instrument socket (2-7/3) and connect the earth-contact plug to the line.

Clean the front lenses of the objectives using petroleum ether, but do not use alcohol. [. . . ]
