Transmtd (Uniblitz) |
Shutter for transmitted light |
When Transmitted light only: "T" dichroic position. Also see "Setting up for transmitted light imaging" for configuration of transmitted light path. With Fluorescence: Set filters for corresponding fluorescence imaging. |
* The dichroic cube in the M position may need changing. Alternate cubes are stored in the plastic drawer. Move carousel 2 positions counter clockwise from the M position and carefully pull out the dichroic from the left side access port. Please store removed cube in one of the plastic storage cubes.
^ These are the old positions and may be what are programmed in your profile. Imaging is superior with the new settings.
** The filtercube for far-red flruoescence may not be installed in the dichroic turret.
