The green pilot lamp (3-1/10) lights up.

Axioskop 2 mot plus

• Switch the instrument on with the on / off switch on the instrument rear (3-1/27).
After the microscope is switched on, the control unit will perform a system check of all the connected
components. During the system check, the pilot lamp on the stand lights up in orange. After approx. 3
seconds, the microscope is ready for operation and is in the so-called automatic mode. The pilot lamp on
the stand now lights up in green.
The Axioskop 2 mot plus features two different function modes and one programming mode:
Function modes:
− In the automatic mode (standard setting), the illumination is set automatically (light manager
function) in accordance with the values last stored.
− In the manual mode, the function of the light manager is switched off. Illumination intensity and
condenser settings must be made manually, as in the Axioskop 2 plus.
Programming mode:
− In the programming mode, the user can individually match and store the focusing speeds and focus
positions of the various objectives (parfocality).
