If you need to insert filters which have no direction
indicator (arrow), we recommend proceeding as
follows:
Insert the filters with reflective dielectric coatings
so that the reflective coating (Fig. 37/
6
) of the
excitation filter (Fig. 37/
5
) faces outward (relative
to the reflector module). On the barrier filter
(Fig. 37/
1
), the reflective coating (Fig. 37/
2
) should
face inward (Fig. 37).
The reflective coating (Fig. 37/
4
) of the beam
splitter (Fig. 37/
3
) should face downward when
fitted.
The arrows (Fig. 37/
7
) mark the illumination and
imaging beam path.
4.11.4
Changing the beam splitter in reflector module FL P&C
Fitting the filters and the beam splitter requires utmost care to prevent damage to and
contamination of the optical components.
We recommend ordering fully equipped reflector
modules FL P&C, since changing the beam splitter
requires considerable skill.
If you have to change the beam splitter, proceed as
follows:
•
Remove the reflector module FL P&C from the
reflector turret (also refer to section 4.11.2).
•
Loosen both slotted screws (Fig. 38/
1
) using a
screwdriver.
•
Hold both halves of the reflector module
together (
emission
half (Fig. 38/
2
)
and
excitation
half (Fig. 38/
3
), turn them in the
position opposite to the installation position
and put them down.
