To use the microscope for bright field applications, make certain that the black plunger on the side of
the Epi-module is pushed completely in, thus moving the internal filter slider to the open position and
turning off the Lumin Epi-illuminator. Then adjust the brightness of the microscope illumination to
achieve optimal clarity of the specimen.
To use the microscope for epi-fluorescence applications, turn off the microscope illumination. Pull out
the plunger on the side of the Epi-Module to move the slider holding the filter cube into position and
turn on the Epi-illuminator. (When the filter is in the proper position and the Epi-illuminator is on, a blue
colored light will illuminate the specimen.)
If a darker background is needed use black, Lumin Light Absorption Cloth. Insert the black, Lumin Light
Absorption Cloth (included with the microscope) directly below the stage and above the sub-stage
condenser.
Lumin Light Absorption Cloth #: 100402
To return to bright field, push in the Lumin module plunger to move the filter slider to the open position
and turn off the Epi-illuminator, if in place remove the Lumin Light Absorption Cloth, and turn on the
microscope illumination.
