Loading a Filter

Notice
Be careful when loading and unloading filters. Follow the displayed instructions
closely. Otherwise it can happen that the filter library will get mixed up, potentially
resulting in instrument malfunctions.
1. Pick a filter with dark background from the list that you want to load into the
reader. If there is no suitable filter in the list, create a new filter (see
VICTOR Nivo Software Manual, chapter "OPTICS").
2. Once you have found a suitable filter, select it and click Load filter.
The instrument will turn the loading position to the user and open the optics
loading door. When this process is finished the instrument will ask you to place
the filter into the loading position (see below).
3. Place the new filter in the loading position. Make sure that the letters on the
filter's label can still be read and are not facing upside down (see figure below).
