Excitation Light Balancer

When the illuminator LV-UEPI2A is used, the optional
D-FB excitation light balancer can be attached for the
epi-fl microscopy to observe a specimen labeled with
multiple wavelengths. The excitation light balancer
enables the continuous change of the wavelength
characteristics for the excitation light without replacing
filter cubes.
The excitation light balancer is used in concert with a
dual-band characteristic filter cube.
Using the excitation light balancer
Remove the vertically oriented cover on the left side of
the illuminator. And then, insert the excitation light
balancer into the slot with its mark facing back.
When the excitation light balancer is inserted to the limit
position, it enters into the optical path. You can adjust the
excitation light by sliding the excitation light balancer
horizontally.
Objective
To use the excitation light balancer, use the following
objectives in combination. If another objective is used,
uneven image may be observed in the viewfield.
