3.0 UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
3.1 The components are stored in 2 separated boxes: one containing epiuorescence attachment, and
one containing power supply and mercury lamp case. Remove the protection caps from the top of the
main B-1000 body and from the epiilluminator and place the epiilluminator on the top of the microsco-
pe body. Tighten the screw on the right side using the provided allen wrench.
3.2 Insert the mercury lamp case on the back of the epiilluminator and tighten the screws using the provi-
ded allen wrench.

3.0 UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
3.3 Fix the orange protection screen to the front of the epiilluminator with the two provided screws.
3.4 Mercury lamp insertion: Loosen the lock-screw on the top of the lamp case. The lamp holder will
come out with the door.

Remove the plastic placeholder.
Use protection glasses as, if handled carelessly, there is a risk that the lamp may shatter and eject
glass splinters. Thus, without touching the glass part of the lamp, take out the uorescence lamp from
its box, taking care not to exert stress on any part of the lamp. Put one end inside the exible metal
holder (note: it ts only in one direction) and then in the xed one. Tighten the screws just enough to
make it stay in place.If you tighten them too much the lamp may shatter.
Put the lamp door with lamp assembly back in place.
3.5 Connect the lamp case to the power supply trough the provided 3-poles cable.

4.1 Turn on the power supply using the power switch. Wait until the current display shows about
4.5 A. If the current falls below 4 A, replace the lamp. You should now wait for at least 10
minutes before aligning and using the lamp.
4.2 Aligning the mercury lamp
Move the lter selector of the lter wheel on the desired position, corresponding to an excitation
wavelength.
Insert a specimen slide and focus with 4X objective.
Fully open the eld and aperture diaphgrams.
Adjust the two lamp centering screws on the case, in order to maximize the light intensity emitted by
the sample.
Adjust the focus of the collector lens until the sample is uniformly illuminated (if the lamp is not cor-
rectly focussed, there will be a bright spot of light in the center of the eld, and dark outside).
Note: if the current display shows 0 A for many seconds after switching on, press the Trigger button
(2-3 times if needed) until a current begins to ow in the lamp.

The lamp case allows also a ne tuning of the orientation of the mirror located at the back of the
lamp, this could improve the intensity of illumination.
