MetaMorph Set-up Guide for pE-800 with

Introduction

The pE-6501-8 has been designed to allow fast triggering of the pE-800 Illumination System
and control of all eight LEDs. The pE-6501-8 utilises the National Instruments USB-6501
which has been integrated into MetaMorph.
This User Manual will provide the information required to setup the pE-6501-8 with the pE-
800 into MetaMorph.

Safety Precautions

The pE-6501-8 does not pose any real safety risks itself, however as it is designed to be used
with CoolLED's range of high intensity Illumination Systems, the appropriate precautions
should be taken.
When installing the pE-6501-8, never switch on the Illumination System until it has been
securely fitted to the microscope. By following this basic safety rule, protection from the
collimated light beam will be provided by the microscope itself, minimising risk of injury and
damage. The pE-6501-8 or pE-800 Illumination System should never be operated with the
external covers removed, as this will result in the safety of the units being impaired.
To clean the exterior of the pE-6501-8, use a slightly dampened cloth with a simple
water/detergent solution only.
