Use:
– Two 160 mAT fuses for voltages between 200–240 V.
– Two 315 mAT fuses for voltages between 100–120 V
(see the section "Starting up" on the left).
̈ Disconnect the power cable from the stand.
̈ Pull out the fuse holder.
̈ Fuse at rear: Press out downwards.
̈ Spare fuse at front: Pull out sideways and
insert into holder at rear.
̈ Push the fuse holder back into position.
On the rear side of the base, there is a
socket for incident lamps of up to 20 W.
• Connect an incident lamp to the trans-
mitted-light stand, if required.
• Either transmitted light or incident light
can be switched on.
̈ For transmitted light: Switch in position I.
̈ For incident light: Switch in position II.
̈ Use thumb wheel to adjust brightness.
̈ On the rear of the stand: Use the thumb
wheel to switch on the transformer and
to adjust the brightness.
̈ Remove the power cable from the power socket.
̈ Switch on transmitted light.
Bright field is suitable for examining translucent objects featur-
ing contrasting structures. The object is directly illuminated
from below and is seen in its natural colors against a bright
background.
̈ For transmitted light, bright field:
Pull lever forwards.
Inclined transmitted light which traverses the object obliquely
will produce effects advantageous for observing small translu-
cent objects such as foraminifera and fish eggs.
̈ Move the lever slowly towards the column of the stand until
the desired effect is obtained.
