TI-BSUK70 70 mm stage up kit
By attaching the TI-BSUK70 70 mm stage up kit and doubly mounting the epi-fl filter turrets, you can attach
the TIRF-PAU illuminator unit and TI-BPU back port unit simultaneously.
The unit that can be attached to the upper or lower tier is selectable in accordance with the intended use.
However, in combination of the TIRF-PAU illuminator unit with the TI-BPU back port unit, the TIRF-PAU
illuminator unit cannot be attached to the lower tier.
Important
The condensing position of the TIRF-PAU illuminator unit will be misaligned when it is attached to the
lower tier.
When attaching to the lower tier, embed the TI-TIRF stage up lens into the illuminator unit to correct the
condensing position and provide the optimum illumination performance.
Contact your own Nikon representative for details on the stage up lens.
The following figure shows the Ti-U with the stage up kit mounted, along with the TIRF-PAU illuminator unit
on the upper tier and the back port unit (with the extension kit) on the lower tier:
