Mounting and Dismounting Lamps, TPMT and Switching Mirror
The ports of the lamps, the switching mirror and the transmission PMT are equipped with hardware
interlock devices. At most ports (all ports of the Axioskop 2 FS
MOT
and the Axio Imager.Z1 as well as the
HBO port of the Axiovert 200 M) the following interlock devices are present and have to be operated in
the following way:
Interlock with sensor ring and contact ring:
Fig. 1-9
Sensor ring mounted to the interface
ports on the microscope side
Fig. 1-10
Contact ring mounted to the lamp,
TPMT or switching mirror
The interlock is working when the sensors of the sensor ring (Fig. 1-9/
1
) are depressed by the pins on the
contact ring (Fig. 1-10/
). Whenever this is not the case, for example if the distance between the two
devices is too large, the laser will be blocked and the system cannot be used.
