Installing An Objective - Molecular Devices ImageXpress Pico Calibration Kit Manual

ImageXpress Pico Automated Cell Imaging System Calibration Kit Guide

Installing an Objective

Before installing an objective, review the following:
Access only the user-serviceable components inside the enclosure as described in the
procedure. Avoid contact with other components as they can be damaged or knocked
out of alignment.
To prevent dust from collecting inside the instrument, keep all access doors closed
unless you are performing maintenance tasks.
Ensure that all components and access doors are closed before starting the instrument.
Molecular Devices precalibrates the objectives to specific slots in the turret. You must install
the objectives as follows:
Slot

12
CAUTION!
To prevent skin oils from damaging the optical coatings, Molecular Devices
recommends that you wear powder-free disposable gloves when handling
objectives and filter cubes.
With the instrument power on, do not manually rotate the objective turret.
Manually rotating the objective turret can damage the instrument.

Note:
Depending on how your ImageXpress Pico system is configured, you may not
have all the objectives.
The 40x objective and the 63x objective cannot be installed in the instrument
simultaneously.
The 63x objective cannot be installed when the environmental control cassette is
loaded.
