7.1 Installation

!
Attention!
Set up the external light source its control and
display elements is readily accessible and visi-
ble. The instrument must stand upright safely and
so that it does not skid. The ventilation slots on
the sides and back panel of the instrument must
not be covered. Maintain a free room of at least
150 mm on the rear panel of the instrument. The
cables and light guides to be connected to the
light source must not cause any hazard.

7.2 Connecting the LED1

The LED1 has to be connected to the microscope
before it is turned on.
Be aware that although the human visual system
does not register the wavelengths of light from
the violet color channel, exposure can quickly
produce eye damage. When setting up the light
source, be sure that the output adapter is se-
curely attached to the appropriate illumination
port of the microscope.

Usually this will be the fluorescence epi-illumina-
tion port. Be careful to properly support the light
source until it is securely attached to the instru-
ment.
7.3 LED3/5/8 – connecting the light guide
!
Attention!
The red dust caps MUST BE removed before the
light guide is connected to the light source and
the microscope.
Always connect the light guide to be connected
to the instrument to the target system by its out-
put first to prevent a hazard to the user from the
high-energy light emitted by the light source.
The light guide (Storz standard) is inserted into
the provided microscope adapter (Fig. 10.2) or
into the external DMi8 fluorescence axis as far
as it goes and fastened using a clamping screw.
Before that, fasten the adapter on the standard
interchangeable surface of the fluorescence
lamp housing. (Upright microscope – directly on
the stand, inverted microscope – on the lamp
housing mount, stereomicroscope – directly on
the stand). The light source has a safety interlock
