Attach The Epi-Fluorescence Cube Turret And Epi-Fluorescence Attachment (Required For Epi-Fluorescence Microscopy) - Nikon Eclipse Ni-U Instruction Manual

Attach the epi-fluorescence cube turret and epi-fluorescence attachment (required for
6
epi-fluorescence microscopy).
Tool: Hex driver (2 mm across flats)
Hex wrench (3 mm across flats)
First, connect the epi-fluorescence cube turret and
epi-fluorescence attachment and then attach them on the
microscope arm.
(1) Insert the positioning pin of the epi-fluorescence
attachment while aligning it with the positioning hole
on the epi-fluorescence cube turret side, and then
tighten the connection fixing screws (x2) on the
epi-fluorescence cube turret with a hex driver.
(2) When using a motorized or intelligent
epi-fluorescence cube turret, remove the contact
cover on the contact arm beforehand.
(Contact cover is not removed for manual
epi-fluorescence cube turret.)
(3) Loosen the fixing screw on the front of the arm using
a hex driver so that the tip of the screw does not
protrude into the connecting section.
(4) Align the round dovetail and convex contact on the
bottom of the epi-fluorescence cube turret with the
round dovetail and concave contact of the arm and
slide the entire mounted attachment to the rear.
(There is no concave contact in manual
epi-fluorescence cube turret.)
(5) Tighten the fixing screw loosened in step (3).
(6) Tighten the four fixing screws on top of the
epi-fluorescence attachment.
(7) Attach the HG adapter to the bayonet mount at the
rear of the epi-fluorescence attachment and connect
the HG precentered fiber illuminator. (See the
instruction manual provided with the HG
precentered fiber illuminator.)
