The aperture and field diaphragms should not be considered as a tool to adjust the image brightness. The brightness should be adjusted by changing the light intensity using the knob 9 (Fig. 2) for adjusting the halogen bulb brightness. Lamphouse The lamphouse 7 (Fig.
The analyzer is rotated by the ring 6 (Fig. 5). Rotation angles in the range of 0–360° are measured on the scale on the disk 6 (Fig. 5) with a graduation value of 1° and vernier scale 5 (Fig. 5) with a graduation value of 0.1°. The slot 2 (Fig.
The camera is powered via a 12V/1A AC power adapter. MONITO R The monitor is designed to use a visualization system of the MAGUS microscope. It connects to a microscope-mounted camera to display a real-time image. The monitor is installed on the table or shelf on a folding mount or attached directly to the camera or microscope stand.
3. Take out the reflected light illuminator. Install the illuminator on the microscope stand and secure it with an Allen wrench. 4. Remove the trinocular microscope head and intermediate attachment with a Bertrand lens, analyzer, and a compensator. Insert the intermediate attachment into the mounting slot of the illuminator and secure it with a screw using an Allen wrench.
PL AC IN G THE SP EC IM E N Place the specimen on the stage and secure it with the spring clips. The stage is 360° rotatable. Its diameter is 150mm. Before polarized light observations, you should align the optical path of the objectives with the center of the rotary stage. FOCU SI N G O N T H E S PECI ME N Focusing on the specimen is achieved by coarse and fine focusing knobs.
SE TTI N G U P KÖ H L ER IL LU MI NAT IO N I N T R A N S M IT T ED L I G HT In the light optical microscope, the image quality depends equally on the optics and on the illumination system, so adjusting the illumination is an important preparatory step.
While adjusting the illumination, you should keep in mind that changing the size of the field diaphragm only affects the size of the illuminated field. For each objective, you should open the field diaphragm so far that its image is close to the edge of the microscope’s field of view, not outside of the field.
Halve the distance from the center of the crosshairs to the selected object detail (center point between 4 and 5) and move the target point to that location. Rotate the screws installed in the centering slots of the revolving nosepiece 2 to move the target point to the center and align it with the center of the crosshairs.
– reduce the opening of the aperture diaphragm to match the size of the objective exit pupil – remove the Bertrand lens from the optical path – while observing through the eyepiece, place the section of the object you want to observe in the center of the field of view: place the selected grain on the center of the crosshairs –...
R EFL ECTED P O L ARI Z E D LIG HT O B S ERVAT I ON S Introduce the polarizer 13 (Fig. 1) and analyzer 22 (Fig. 2) into the optical path. The polarization device is aligned in such a way that the setting of the analyzer on the numerical scale to position "90" corresponds to the crossed position of the polarization devices.
If there is a strict requirement to synchronize the image in the eyepieces and camera (coincidence between the image center and direction), you should adjust the camera image. There are three centering screws on the trinocular tube. Adjust it as follows: –...
USING OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT STAGE ATTACHM EN T A mechanical stage attachment is used for convenient movement of specimens in two mutually perpendicular directions: X-axis (right-left) and Y-axis (forward/backward). The stage attachment is mounted on pins into the stage holes and secured with a screw.
CAL IBRAT ION SLI D E W I TH A CA ME RA The calibration slide (stage micrometer) is used to calibrate the image analysis software for measurements in actual units. In the calibration mode, you should capture an image of the micrometer scale with every objective magnification and indicate the known distance.
