This cable is connected to the MC 1500 connection (14). It allows the
connection with cameras, CCD cameras or other photographic equipment
via an S contact and facilitates externally triggered flash and trigger mode
(see Section 7.7).
The foot switch can be connected to the MC 1500 connection (15). When
repeatedly pressed down it calls up the M1 to M4 memory stations and makes
it possible to quickly switch over the stored illumination conditions without
having to press a memory key.
(M1 ➔ M2 ➔ M3 ➔ M4 ➔ M1 ➔ ...)
The brightfield-darkfield adapter kit makes it possible to connect one of the
LED brightfield ringlights (S80-25, S80-55, S40-55) with the darkfield ringlight
(S40-10D) to a stereo microscope.
If the ringlights combined on the microscope are then connected to the
MC 1500 one gets an incident light illumination that makes it possible to
quickly switch between brightfield and darkfield. In addition this facilitates to
comfortably generate mixed light. When the adapter kit was developed great
care was taken to minimize the occurrence of scatter light and ambient light
on the specimen.
The brightfield-darkfield adapter kit is made up of three components: the
connection adapter, and two distance rings.
To set up the adapter kit first please screw the connection adapter into the
thread of the S40-10D darkfield ringlight. Then fix the connection adapter to a
VisiLED brightfield ringlight by sliding the adapter over the ringlight and fixing
with three screws.
The brightfield-darkfield illumination is assembled on the microscope by
sliding the brightfield ringlight over the microscope objective and screwing
tight. The acceptance diameter of the ringlights is 66 mm. To fix onto
microscope objectives with other diameters please use intermediate rings
(accessory).
If the darkfield ringlight is not situated in the recommended 5 mm to 15 mm
working distance above the microscope specimen, please carry out the assem-
bling of the adapter kit as follows:
First screw one or two of the supplied distance rings into the VisiLED bright-
field ringlight. Then slide the connection adapter with the darkfield ringlight
over the distance ring(s) on the brightfield ringlight and fix with the three
screws.
