4.1 Optics

All standard equipped readers have UV/Vis optics for top reading. For optimal performance, there are
different top reading optics available for fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, luminescence,
absorbance and time-resolved fluorescence.
4.2 Installation and Changing of Optics
The readers are equipped with quick-fix mountings for easy exchange of optics and easy to position spacers
(for more about spacers see 4.5). No tools are required for changing the optics. Remove the optic from the
positioning wheel by hand and turn the holders on the measurement head frame to release the black
mounting piece of the optic.
