Nikon eclipse lv150 Instruction Manual page 57

CAUTION
• If a light source other than the specified ones are installed onto this microscope, this
microscope system will not be treated as a TUV/SEMI approved product.
• Carefully read the instruction manual for an external light source to use it, and follow
their instructions.
• A light source emits very strong light including ultraviolet light that is harmful to the
eyes and skin. Never turn on the power for the light source before completion of
assembling and connecting parts.
• To assemble and connect parts, check that the power supplies for the light source and
microscope are turned off and that the power cable is unplugged from the wall outlet.
Attaching the fiber adapter
Loosen the clamp screw on the fiber adapter by using the
hexagonal screw driver. And then, attach the HG fiber
adapter onto the mount part of the illuminator. Push in
the adapter to the limit position, and then tighten the
clamp screw to fix it.
Next, insert the light guide fiber tip through the hole of
the fiber adapter, and then tighten the clamp screw to fix
it by using the hexagonal screw driver.
At last, connect the light guide fiber to the light source.
Attaching the compensation filter (only for LV-UEPI2)
A designated compensation filter comes with the HG
fiber adapter. Attach it into the bright field block in the
LV-UEPI2.
The compensation filter is used to compensate the color
balance and brightness. If this filter is not used with,
extremely strong light will be radiated for the bright-field
microscopy. Be sure to attach the filter.
1 Check that the shutter of the illumination is closed
and power supplies to the microscope and the light
source are turned off.
2 Remove the cover on the left of the illuminator.
3 Check the position indicator of the turret in the
microscope, and rotate the microscopy selection
knob to locate the "BF" label into the opening.
4 Screw in the compensation filter attached with the
fiber adapter to the block in the illuminator.
5 Put the cover back to its original position.
Connecting the LV150A and an external light source
When the LV150A is used with an external light source, be sure to attach the X-Cite 120PC
(motorized type) manufactured by EXFO. The shutter must be controlled in synchronization with
the nosepiece. So, the X-Cite 120PC must be connected with the microscope through the RS-232C
cable attached to the light source. If this communication is not established, a flash of light may be
fired at the rotation of the motorized nosepiece. Be sure to connect them.
