CX43-RFAB Reflected fluorescence observation method For reflected fluorescence observation, the B excitation fluorescence illuminator is necessary. (For attaching procedures, see “4 Assembly” on page 10.) If the analyzer for simple polarization and the polarizer are engaged in the light path, remove them from the light path.
Operation procedures Operating the B excitation fluorescence illuminator For attaching and removing the B excitation fluorescence illuminator, see page 10. Set the main switch of the B excitation fluorescence illuminator to (ON). When the B excitation fluorescence illuminator is not in use, slide it in the arrow direction until it touches the end to remove it from the light path.
CX43-RFAB Escaping the condenser top lens During fluorescence observation, when the background light of the field of view becomes darker, the contrast of the fluorescence observation image is improved. If the condenser turret is set to FL (fluorescence observation), the background light of the field of view can be darker than that of other turret positions. If you want to make the background light of the field of view darker effectively, escape the condenser top lens from the light path.
Assembly Attaching the B excitation fluorescence illuminator Be sure to set the main switch of the B excitation CAUTION fluorescence illuminator to (OFF) before attaching or removing the B excitation fluorescence illuminator. Remove the cover plate for insertion portion of the fluorescence illuminator by inserting the flathead screwdriver into the notch Be sure to store the cover plate in a safe place.
CX43-RFAB Connecting the AC adapter and power cord Always use the AC adapter and power cord provided by Olympus. If the proper AC adapter and the CAUTION power cord are not used, the electric safety and the EMC (Electro-Magnetic Compatibility) performance of the product cannot be assured.
