4.0 USING THE MICROSCOPE 4.12 Retardation filter plates The microscope is provided with these retardation plates: l, l/4 and quartz wedge. You can insert them in the optical path, sliding the plate holder in the slot under the observation head: 5.0 MAINTENANCE Always think about The following environment is required: Indoor temperature: 0-40°C, Maximum relative humidity: 85 % (non condensing)
6.0 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS ILLUMINATION Light source type X-LED with white LED; light intensity control using a knob on left side of the frame. LED power 3.6W, comparable to an halogen bulb 35W. Color temperature: 6300K LED average lifetime approx.: 50.000h. The light exit can be used as a filter holder for additional filters (blue, yellow, frosted).
