etc.). The second case contains the HAL 100 and HBO 103 illuminators with their relevant power supply
units, a tools bag and the control unit and the keypad (for the motorized version).
The following modules are factory-attached to the microscope stand: stage carrier with mechanical
stage, universal mounting frame, filter mount and SENARMONT polarizer, technique modules and the
epi-fluorescence equipment with adjusting aid.
If the equipment was ordered for applications in
differential interference contrast, the DIC sliders
are already inserted in the objective slider and
centered.
