Brightness control
To control the brightness, use the EPI or DIA
brightness switch. Independent switches are available
each for the episcopic illumination and diascopic
illumination to control the brightness, and the current
brightness is indicated with the eight-step level
indicator respectively.
• Brightness control for the halogen lamp
The brightness can be controlled with the brightness
switch for the standard halogen lamp. (The indicator
display shows the brightness in eight steps.)
• Brightness control for an external light source
When an external light source (Intensilight C-HGFIE
or EXFO X-Cite 120 PC) is connected with this
product, the brightness switch on this product can be
used to control the brightness of the external light
source (iris control function) in five levels.
Interlock control linked to the illumination
When the interlock control is enabled with "LVSetup," the lamp pn/off state and the light quantity are
changed to the registered conditions in conjunction with the microscopy method and the objective.
When the interlock control is set to the "Default mode," the light quantity is adjusted to the fixed
value that has been set in the system. When the interlock control is set to the "Optional mode," the
light quantity is adjusted to an arbitrary value that has been set with "LVSetup."
The interlock control is one of the functions of "LVSetup." For detail information, see "LV Series
Support Tools software manual."
• Modification from the registered condition
When the light quantity is modified from the
registered condition, the EPI switch or the DIA switch
indicator starts blinking, indicating that it is not in the
registered condition.
This adjustment amount, "User offset," is stored in the
microscope memory: therefore, the post-adjustment
state is restored when the registered combination of
the microscopy and the objective is selected, even
after another microscopy or objective is selected or the
power is cycled.
• To return to the registered condition
To bring the light quantity and the epi-illumination
aperture diaphragm to the registered conditions, hold
down the EPI switch and the DIA switch for two
seconds or longer. When the registered conditions are
restored, a short beep sounds and the switch indicator
turns on.
