Operation
Xenon or Mercury Arc Lamp Precautions
Before You Start, if your system includes a microscope Xenon or Hg arc lamp, it is
CRITICAL to turn off all electronics adjacent to the arc lamp, especially your digital
camera system and your computer hardware (monitors also) before turning on the lamp
power.
Powering up your microscope Xenon or Hg lamp causes a large EMF spike to be
generated that can cause damage to electronics that are running in the vicinity of the
lamp. We advise that you place a clear warning sign on the power button for your arc
lamp reminding all workers to follow this procedure. While Princeton Instruments has
taken great care to isolate its sensitive circuitry from EMF sources, we cannot guarantee
that this protection will be sufficient for all EMF bursts.
Focusing the Microscope
1. Direct all of the light to the eyepieces
2. Focus on the target, set up Koehler illumination and adjust the condenser to match
the objective, all in the transmitted light mode (as per the instructions provided by
your microscope manufacturer).
3. Decrease the transmitted light intensity to a level that is low, but still sufficient to
allow visualization by eye.
4. Redirect the light to the camera port.
