REFLECTED LIGHT FLUORESCENCE OBSERVATION
(Observation Using the Mercury Burner)
}Follow the instructions given by the instruction manual for the reflected light fluorescence system in use.
For this observation, be sure to attach the original fluorescence mirror unit, which incorporates the excitation filter,
to the turret.
USING THE CONTROLS
}When the shutter @ of the binocular shutter is pulled out, the laser inter-
lock key switch is activated, blocking the laser beam output and, for
safety, making the total internal reflection observation unavailable for the
binocular tube.
1. To observe the specimen through the binocular tube, pull out the shutter
@ to open the light path.
In this case, the laser beam is not output because it is blocked by the
motorized shutter.
2. To perform total internal reflection observation, push in the shutter @ all
the way until it is stopped.
This activates the laser interlock key switch, causing the laser beam to be
output.

2 Using the Specimen Cover (Fig. 6)
}Removal of the specimen replacement lid @ activates the laser interlock
key switch and blocks the laser beam output.
1. For transmitted light observation or for changing the specimen, remove
the specimen replacement lid @.
In this case, the laser beam is not output because it is blocked by the
motorized shutter.
2. To perform total internal reflection observation, place the specimen
replacement lid @ on the specimen box 2.
This activates the laser interlock key switch, causing the laser beam to be
output.
# When a condenser with short working distance (IX2-LWUCD, IX2-
LWUCDA2, IX2-DICD or U-UCD8) is used, push down the transmitted
light illumination column toward the rear or swing the condenser
holder upward in advance.
