■ Motorized shutter
For Ni-E, the motorized shutter can be attached to the
epi-fluorescence side or dia-illumination side to provide a fast
opening/closing of an epi-fluorescence illumination path or
dia-illumination path.
On the epi-fluorescence side, attach the shutter between the
epi-fluorescence attachment and the HG adapter of the HG
precentered fiber illuminator. On the dia-illumination side,
attach it between a lamphouse mount on the rear of a
microscope base and a lamphouse for dia-illumination.
One motorized shutter can be attached to the
epi-fluorescence and dia-illumination side respectively for use
if two shutters are provided. This helps block a diascopic light
immediately when switching between the epi-fluorescence
and the differential interference contrast microscopy or
between the epi-fluorescence and the phase contrast
microscopy. (A different attachment adapter is used for EPI
and DIA sides.)
Press the FL SHUTTER button to open/close the motorized
shutter. Change the FL SHUTTER button function to the
opening/closing operation function of an EPI motorized shutter
or DIA motorized shutter. "The shutter is closed" when the
button is ON.
Motorized shutter connector
There are two connectors for connecting the motorized shutter cable: "EPI SHUTTER" on the rear of the main body and
"DIA SHUTTER" on the connector box. Connect the EPI motorized shutter on the epi-fluorescence side to the "EPI
SHUTTER" connector and the DIA motorized shutter on the dia-illumination side to the "DIA SHUTTER" connector.
These are set by factory default. Change the setting if you intend to use the motorized shutter for AUX (other than
EPI/DIA).
Change the configuration on DS-L3. (See "23 Operation on DS-L3" - "23.1 Setting Up the Microscope - (2) Configuring
the Device Connection Information" for details.)
■ Motorized HG precentered fiber illuminator
Press the FL SHUTTER button to open/close the motorized HG precentered fiber illuminator. Change the FL
SHUTTER button function to the opening/closing operation function of the motorized HG precentered fiber illuminator.
"The shutter is closed" when the button is ON.
Change the FL SHUTTER button function on DS-L3. (See "23 Operation on DS-L3" - "23.1 Setting Up the Microscope -
(3-1) Ni-E microscope button" for details.)
Grouped operation of EPI side shutters
Three types of shutters on the EPI side (including the
shutter in the epi-fluorescence cube turret (2nd layer), if
attached) can be opened and closed all at once. Use an
EPI all switch on the ergo controller to work with it. (See
"20 Using the Ergo Controller".)
Grouped operation of EPI side shutters is not available in
sleep mode. A message showing "Sleep mode is active.
Drive/operation not available" is displayed and you hear a
buzz. (Beep) The warning disappears automatically
approximately after 3 seconds. Reset the sleep mode
before you continue the operation.
(See "23 Operation on DS-L3" - "23.1 Setting Up the
Microscope - (3-3) Buttons on the Screens on DS-L3 - ■
SLEEP Button" for details.)
