Printed Circuit Board Assemblies
MAGPIX requires a series of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), including four major
boards: optics control, XY controller, imaging, and processor. These PCBAs are all contained
within the same area as the optical system, are not accessible to the user, and require no
user maintenance.
Fluidics Subsystem
The fluidics subsystem handles the flow of liquid through MAGPIX. MAGPIX has two doors
that access its fluidics system: a side access door and a front door to the fluid compartment.
Side Compartment and its Components
The side access door, at the upper front of the right side, provides access to the side
compartment, which contains the sample probe assembly, the sample valve, the tube
between the probe and the sample valve, the filter for the Drive Fluid, and the syringe pump.
The side access door is secured with a latch that requires a door access tool to open.
CAUTION: Keep the side access door closed and latched during normal
operation. Unlatch it only to perform maintenance on the user-
maintainable parts of the fluidics system.
