Page 10: Unpacking
The system should be operated in a room with as little dust as practically possible. Keep the power supply and lamphouse away from solvents, chemical fumes and excessive humidity. Also try to avoid big swings in ambient temperature, direct sunlight and excessive vibration. The power supply needs adequate room around the housing to receive airflow. -
Page 11: Set Up
2.3 Set Up • As a first step, remove all components from the shipping container and remove the packing materials. Save the container and packing in a dry location. • Remove the access plate on the lamp house by unscrewing the two knobs counter-clockwise until they stop and gently removing the access plate. - Page 12 • Mount the lamp house onto the microscope. The three screws that engage the dovetail fitting should be equally tight, the lamp house should be mounted perpendicular and the lamp house should not be able to turn in its mount when tightened properly. •...
- Page 13 2.4 Bulb Installation It is critical to properly install the bulb in the socket. Reversed polarity can dramatically shorten the life expectancy of the particular bulb to as little as one or two minutes followed by a very loud explosion. The writing on the base of the bulb goes down on Mercury lamps.

Page 15: Bulb Alignment For Tc Models
2.5 Bulb Alignment – TC Models After the bulb has burned in, the system is ready for arc lamp alignment. There are many methods to accomplish arc lamp alignment if one were to go look on the internet. The following is only one of many methods. If the arc lamp is not already burning, turn on the power supply and let the arc lamp “settle”... - Page 16 similar. Open the filter slider on the illuminator so that the light travels through the system. Engage the field iris diaphragm all the way open. Engage the fluorescence filter slider to a position where the plastic specimen fluoresces. If the FOV is too bright to look at, use a different specimen that is less affected, what is important is the specimen is consistent or even across the FOV.
- Page 17 Check the effect achieved when the collector lens focus knob is adjusted and continue to make minor adjustments to the arc position and the mirror position until the light is as even and centered in the FOV as possible. Remove the plastic slide and place a known good biological fluorescence sample on the stage and again check the effect achieved when the collector lens knob is adjusted and continue to make minor adjustments to the arc position and the mirror position until the FOV displays an even an image as possible.

Page 20: Uv Light Safety Considerations
Always disconnect the power cord from the back of the power supply when not being used, when cleaning your instrument or when making any repairs. Avoid Dismantling Never attempt to dismantle the power supply. This will void your warranty and could possibly lead to the product no longer performing accurately. -

UV light causes sunburn. Long term exposure can result in loss of skin elasticity initially and carcinoma eventually. Absorption of UV light by the eyes will cause inflammation of the cornea called photo keratisis. Continued exposure can lead to the formation of cataracts on the eye lens. -
Page 22: Troubleshooting
• In warm humid climates, take special care to prevent your equipment from exposure to fungal growth. Dust Protection Be sure to use the supplied dust cover with your microscope after each work session. Cleaning Dust and fibers can cause “background fluorescence” during fluorescence microscopy so keeping your microscope clean can help the overall quality of your work. -
