Troubleshooting

UI Expand
titleI don't see any fluorescence!

This can happen when something is not setup properly along the light path. The light path schematics can guide to identify the issue.

  1. Ensure the mercury lamp power supply (#2) is turned ON
  2. Ensure the mercury lamp located at the back of the microscope is shining. It should generate some heat. Beware of burn risks
  3. Ensure the neutral density filters (N16, N4, N2) located at the back on the right side of the microscope are out (low position)
  4. Ensure the manual shutter located at the back on the right side of the microscope is open (low position)
  5. Ensure the aperture (A) and field (F) diaphragms located at the back on the right side of the microscope are opened (high position)
  6. Ensure the filter cube is on a non-empty position (1: I3 ou 2: N2.1)
