Installing An Objective - Molecular Devices ImageXpress Pico Installation Manual

ImageXpress Pico Personal Imaging System Installation 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.
In addition, observe the following when handling an objective:
Molecular Devices precalibrates the objectives to specific slots in the turret. You must install
the objectives as follows:

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.
CAUTION! With the instrument power on, do not manually rotate the objective
turret. Manually rotating the objective turret can damage the instrument.
