The Microscope - a customized microscope with imaging camera, slide ID camera, automated
stage, stage controls and touch screen interface.
The trinocular head - a tilting binocular observation tube and a fixed, straight tube for the imaging
camera. The light path and camera focus have been optimized by placement of spacers in the
assembly of the optical components. Do not add or remove spacers or risers.
If an optional telescoping head is being used, be sure to use the specific riser that Hologic
supplies.
One ocular has a diopter adjustment ring to provide common focus capability.
If the optional riser is being used, do not use it in conjunction with the telescoping head. Use one
or the other, but not both.
CAUTION: Only use Hologic-supplied eyepieces and objective lenses. DO NOT substitute eye-
pieces or objectives.
Eyepieces - 10X magnification with a field size of 22 mm.
Objectives - 4X, 10X and 40X objectives are mounted on the revolving nosepiece at production.
They are specifically compatible with the supplied eyepieces and the camera for the imaging
system. They should not be substituted with any other objectives.
The other object in the nosepiece is the magnetic 10X position sensor. It must not be removed.
An optional 20X objective is available. (Refer to Chapter 8, Ordering Information.) It can be
installed by the operator. If the 20X objective is installed, the objectives should be positioned as
shown in Figure 2-4.
