Attaching the Optical Fiber Adapter and an External Light Source

To perform the epi-fl microscopy, the brightness of the specified halogen lamp may be less than the
desired brightness. In this case, either of the following external light sources must be connected.
When the optional LV-HGFA HG optical fiber adapter is attached to the light source mount part,
these external light sources can be connected via the light guide fiber.
• External light source: Intensilight C-HGFIE
CAUTION
• Please take note that if any external light source is attached, the product will not be
treated as a UL-listed product.
• If a manual operation type light source is attached, you cannot control the shutter and
the brightness with the microscope. Make sure to use the electric operation type light
source specified above.
• To use an external light source, carefully read the instruction manual and make sure to
follow the instructions.
• A light source emits very strong light including ultraviolet light that is harmful to the
eyes and skin. Never turn on the power for the light source before completion of
assembling and connecting parts.
• To assemble and connect parts, check that the power supplies for the light source and
microscope are turned off and that the power cable is unplugged from the wall outlet.
• When you use the diascopic illumination with this product, make sure the light guide
fiber and cables are routed properly. Do not bring the light guide fiber and cables into
contact with the lamp house. If the light guide fiber or a cable comes into contact with
the lamp house, the light guide fiber is broken or the cable sheath may melt resulting
in an electrical shock or fire.
1. Attaching the optical fiber adapter and the light guide fiber
1 Loosen the optical fiber adapter clamp screw
sufficiently by using the hexagonal screwdriver.
2 Mount the optical fiber adapter onto the light
source mount part of the LV-UEPI2A. Push in
the adapter as far as it goes and fix it with the
clamp screw.
3 Insert the light guide fiber tip through the hole
of the fiber adapter, and then tighten the clamp
screw to fix the light guide fiber by using the
hexagonal screw driver.
4 Connect the light guide fiber to the light guide
port on the light source.
For information about connecting the light
guide fiber, refer to the instruction manual for
the light source.
