Control wheel for luminous-field diaphragm (4-1/17)
−
Control wheel for continuous adjustment of the luminous-field diaphragm (transmitted light)
Focusing drive – Fine focusing control (4-1/18), right-hand side
−
Control for fine focusing
−
1 revolution of fine focusing control = 0.1 revolution of coarse-focusing control
Focusing drive – Coarse focusing control
(4-1/19), right-hand side
−
Control for coarse focusing
−
1 revolution of coarse focusing control =
approx. 2 mm
−
Total focusing range: approx. 24 mm
Condenser carrier (4-1/23)
−
6
) is part of the stage
carrier (4-2/
5
).
−
Insert the condenser in the mount of the
condenser carrier and fasten it by means of
clamping screw (4-2/
2
).
−
To center the condenser, turn the two centering
screws (4-2/
1
).
−
Turn the vertical control (4-2/
4
) to adjust the
condenser (condenser carrier) in the Z-axis.
−
The clamping screw (4-2/
3
) serves as stop for
the vertical adjusting range of the condenser.
The stop facilitates finding the KÖHLER
illumination position again.
Polarizer for transmitted light (4-1/24)
Various types of transmitted-light polarizers are
available: with wixed or rotatable polarizer or with
additional lambda/4 plate or with additional
neutral-density filter position (cf. System Overview
of Axio Imager, Section 2.4).
•
Using handle (4-3/
3
) swing the polarizer (4-3/
1
)
(or the neutral-density filter, if necessary) into
the light path until it is reliably fixed by the
detent bolt (4-3/
4
).
•
If available, rotate the lambda plate or the
lambda/4 plate by maximally 45 degrees to the
right or left by moving handle (4-3/
2
).
The color filter carrier is operated
analogously to the polarizer.
