Page 16: Installation
Installation 3.1 Removing an Existing Stage To avoid damage to the optics when removing an existing stage, ensure that the distance between the objectives and stage is maximised, and that the condenser is clear of the stage. Removal of the stage is normally a straightforward procedure, in most cases just by the removal of fixing screws or the loosening of a clamp screw. -

Page 20: Installing Filters
3.5 Installing Filters It is recommended that filters are installed before mounting the filter wheel on to a microscope. 1. Select filter position required for loading, by checking the number displayed in the load position indicator window (A) (see fig.4.5). 2. - Page 21 (Part No. HF207) allows these units to be mounted to a microscope camera port, if required. Confirm that the OptiScan II controller unit is switched off before connecting filter wheels to the controller with leads provided (see fig.4.3).

Page 24: Getting Started
Getting Started Switch the OptiScan II controller unit on using the on/off rocker switch located on the front panel. There are three LED’s on the bottom left of the front panel. The ‘running’ LED should be illuminated to indicate correct operation. If this is not the case refer to section 7. The 'TX' (transmit) LED will flash rapidly when data is being transmitted by the controller and 'RX' (receive) LED flashes rapidly when receiving data from computer RS232. -
