INTRODUCTION TO LASER SCANNING MICROSCOPY<br />

Performance Features of the <strong>LSM</strong> <strong>510</strong> <strong>LSM</strong> <strong>510</strong><br />

(3) Transmitted-light illumination<br />

a) The illuminator support contains a security circuit, which activates a shutter preventing laser light from<br />

reaching the stand when the support is moved to back. A complementary shutter built-in the stand<br />

prevents laser light from reaching the eye pieces during scanning mode.<br />

b) The illuminator support is equipped with a rotatable polarizer. The Axiovert description contains the<br />

adjustment for DIC mode during conventional observation.<br />

For scanning transmitted light DIC mode the polarizer in the transmitted light support works like an<br />

analyzer and must be adjusted in such a manner, that direct laser light will be blocked.<br />

The conventional analyzer slider in the stand is not allowed be located in the beam path because of the<br />

laser light already is polarized.<br />

c) On the illuminator support as an option there is mounted a <strong>LSM</strong> 5 software controlled switching<br />

mirror fully motorized. Alternatively the light is directed to the <strong>LSM</strong> 5 T-light detector or enables<br />

conventional transmitted-light observation.<br />

d) The focusing screen for conventional transmitted-light is located in a support in front of the halogen<br />

lamp housing.<br />

e) Further information to halogen lamp and condensers you will find in the Axiovert operating manual.<br />

(4) Reflected light fluorescence<br />

All Axiovert fluorescence accessories exceptional the reflector slider can be used.<br />

Further information you will find in the Axiovert operation manual.<br />

(5) Imaging optics<br />

Optovar sliders are not usable.<br />

The analyzer for conventional DIC mode will be operated from the right side and is located just below<br />

the nosepiece.<br />

Use of sliders with auxiliary objects (473704/14) is not possible.<br />

(6) Photo equipment<br />

The stand doesn´t have an integrated SLR-port, but microscope cameras, as described in the Axiovert<br />

operation manual, can be used.<br />

(7) TV adaption<br />

The TV port aside and the tubes can be used as described in the Axiovert operation manual.<br />

The TV interface side port or base port can only be used with TV adapters 44.<br />
