Check whether the laser unit is turned on (switch and key) on the front panel (see Fig. 1).
Confirm that the lasers have been switched on in the software (in the ‘Configuration’ and
the ‘Acquisition’ tab, see 4.1. and Fig. 11).
Check whether the required lasers have been selected in the ‘Beam Path Settings’.
Check whether the arm that carries the tungsten light source for transmitted light is in its
correct position, i.e. fully folded forward.
If the problem persists, restart the system.
8.3. Q: The system does not change between transmitted light and fluorescence mode
A: This occasionally happens and you have to restart the system. However, do not switch
off anything at the front panel (see Fig. 1) or in the laser module (the lasers should be left
running).
