3.5 UV protection screen ➔ microscope
carrier
̈ Fasten the UV protection screen (5.1) using a
hexagon-head screw (5.3) to the left or right
side of the microscope carrier.
Tool: Allen key.
Always position the UV protection screen
so that the operator can never look directly at the
light spot (see page 9):
̈ Set the UV protection screen (5.1) laterally
using the arm (5.2).
̈ Loosen the hexagon-head screw (5.3).
̈ Move the UV protection screen up or down
using the arm.
̈ Tighten the hexagon-head screw (5.3).
3.6 Equipping the filter changer
The patented FLUOIII
®
filter system consists
of a filter changer for barrier and excitation filters,
a UV shutter that can be activated/deactivated,
and a filter insert for a filter holder with your
choice of filter.
The filter changer can hold a total of four filter
sets. The filter sets for fluorescence are labeled
(see page 22). All filter sets are equipped with a
transponder for automatic filter detection and can
also be used with the motorized Leica MZ16 FA.
The scope of delivery of the Leica MZ16 F includes
three filter holders without fluorescence for empty
filter positions and transmitted or incident light
observation without fluorescence. These filter
holders have two empty openings for the observa-
tion beam paths. The third opening to the illumina-
tion beam path is closed.
If you are using fewer than four filter hold-
ers with fluorescence filters, always insert the
included simple filter holders with closed illumi-
nation beam path into the available positions.
Otherwise, there is a risk of danger to the eyes
from direct UV radiation from the third beam path.
Also, they protect the system from dust.
3.6.1 Filter sets for fluorescence
The filter sets for fluorescence contain, on one
filter holder, two barrier filters to the visual beam
paths and one excitation filter to the illumination
beam path. The fluorescence filters have a
transponder with the specific filter data for use
with the motorized Leica MZ16 FA. The filter sets
are labeled (see page 22).
