In this case the LFODG, Dual Gooseneck light guides, offer a light source that gives you supreme flexibility in light intensity and placement. This combination eliminates troublesome shadows and glare when examining objects under magnification. Also available: LFOSG Single Gooseneck light guide and LFORL Fiber Optic Ring Light with adjustable light ports.

All rights reserved. 3/02 Technical Sheet: Illuminators, Transmitters, Lamp-life Fiber Optic Illuminators and Transmitters Luxo’s Fiber Optic Illuminator (p/n LFOD150) provides a controlled source of illumination. A dimmer switch controls the intensity of its 150-watt halogen light source. A fan helps evacuate air to maintain the unit at a cooler temperature and assist in length of lamp (bulb) life. The most popular transmitter used with the illuminator is a Fiber Optic Ring Light (p/n LFORL). Light emits from it through 8 light ports on “fingers” that can be pivoted in and out. These “fingers” provide directional control of the light. When pointed inward toward a central focal point the light is concentrated directly on the subject being viewed. As the “fingers” are pivoted outward the light becomes more diffused. Directional control of light eliminates “bounce back” glare. Light reflecting directly back toward the microscope may produce glare. Pivoting the “fingers” outward enough to change the angle at which the light strikes the subject changes the angles of reflection thereby eliminating the glare. This improves contrast and the subject can be viewed with increased visual comfort. If more light is required increase the light intensity with the dimmer switch on the LFOD150. Goosenecks: there are two different gooseneck transmitters. LFODG is a dual gooseneck. It’s transmits the light from the illuminator through two metal sheathed, fiber bundles that emanate from a common point. This enables the user to aim each “gooseneck” at the same point to create shadow-free lighting. A single gooseneck transmitter, LFOSG, is available and most often used for inspecting borings or other cavity locations where a second gooseneck would get in the way. Lamp (bulb) life: There are two types of lamps (bulbs) used in illuminators: EJA and EKE. EJA lamps are higher performing and EKE’s have longer life. The rated life of EJA lamps is 40 hours while EKE lamps are rated for 200 hours. Note: lamp life rating is based on the illuminator being set at full power. When used at 80-85% intensity, lamp life doubles, when used at 58%—lamp life increases up to nine times. EJA type lamps have a narrower focus beam so most of the light is directed through the fiber bundles; EKE type lamps have more of a ‘flood-light’ pattern so less of the lamp output is directed through the fiber bundles. This means, as a rule of thumb, the dimmer switch will be turned to a higher setting when using EKE lamps than when using EJA lamps. However, depending on the intensity of light an operator needs to see well, the EKE may provide sufficient illumination at a moderate setting and, in these cases, will be more economical to use as the light source. 150-watt halogen light sources are the most powerful available for use with microscopes. The LFORL ring light, with its directional capabilities, provides the most intense light with the greatest amount of control. ©2002 Luxo Corporation.

Microscope Parfocality Verification Instructions Parfocal (parfocality) - a term used describing the property of a microscope where the subject stays in focus when the magnification is changed. Less then ½ of a revolution from the fine (eyepiece) adjustment is usually acceptable. NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED WHENEVER EYEPIECES ARE CHANGED OR AUXILLIARY LENSES ARE ADDED Hint: Use a flat object with printed letters or numerals to perform this procedure, such as the top of an IC, identification marks on a PC board, or something like a metal ruler. This will make it easier to verify that the image is in focus, especially at the lowest magnification settings. 1. Set microscope to highest zoom/magnification setting 2. Focus image using main focus mount adjustment knob only 3. Set to lowest zoom/magnification setting 4. Focus image using eyepieces only 5. While zooming to highest magnification, verify that the image remains in focus 6. If necessary, while at the highest magnification, refocus image using main focus mount adjustment knob only 7. Set to lowest zoom/magnification setting & adjust focus using eyepieces only 8. Verify that image remains in focus when zooming in or out 9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 as necessary NOTE: AFTER SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS, THE MICROSCOPE BODY SHOULD BE SET ASIDE FOR FURTHER EXAMINATION. THIS MAY INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH THE LENSES OR SOME INTERNAL MICROSCOPE MECHANISM. PLEASE CONTACT LUXO CUSTOMER SERVICE TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR SERVICING THE UNIT. NEVER ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE THE MICROSCOPE. THIS WILL VOID ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES! © Luxo Corporation. All rights reserved. June 7, 2001 Instructions for Setting Up Parfocality on a CCD Camera Attached to a Trinocular Microscope Hint: Use a flat object with printed letters or numerals to perform this procedure, such as the top of an IC, identification marks on a PC board, or something like a metal ruler. This will make it easier to verify that the image is in focus, especially at the lowest magnification settings. 1. This procedure should only be used after setting the parfocality on the trinocular microscope between the objective lens(es) and eyepieces. 2. The CCD Color Camera is designed for both C and CS-mounts. If your camera is shipped with the C-mount adapter, (black knurled ring on camera lens housing 5mm thick) remove it by turning it counter-clockwise. The CCD Camera is mounted to the Trinocular phototube by attaching the Video Adapter to the camera’s lens mount and sliding the camera/adapter assembly over the phototube. 3. Keep the adapter loose on the phototube by loosening the thumbscrew. Loosen the adjustment ring on the threaded portion of the adapter attached to the camera lens mount by turning the ring clockwise. Note that you may need to loosen the tiny setscrew located on the adjustment ring with a jeweler’s screwdriver. Make sure you set enough clearance between the adjustment ring and the camera mount, approximately ½ inch. 4. Make sure the phototube selector lever is pushed completely into the microscope body to enable the image to be transmitted through to the camera. 5. For the remaining steps, view the image through the monitor (stand-alone or computer monitor via frame grabber). 6. Set the microscope to the highest zoom setting using the zoom control knobs. 7. Bring the image into focus by adjusting the focus control knobs. 8. Zoom to the lowest setting using the microscope’s zoom control knobs. 9. If the image is no longer in focus, proceed to Step 10. Otherwise, skip to Step 13. 10. While holding the camera body steady, rotate the video adapter clockwise and/or counter-clockwise until the image is focused on the monitor. Several revolutions may be necessary since these adjustments introduce small Page 1 of 2 © Luxo Corporation. All rights reserved.

Once the image is in focus, zoom to the highest setting on the microscope using the zoom control knobs. After changing the zoom setting, verify that the image remains in focus. Note that while zooming in or out, the image may be temporarily out of focus while the image is stabilized by the frame grabber hardware. This is perfectly normal. 12. Repeat steps 6 through 11 as needed. There should be very small adjustments necessary at this point. 13. Once parfocality (the image remains in focus at all zoom settings) is achieved, tighten the adjustment ring on the video adapter up against the CCD Camera’s lens mount. Also, tighten the setscrew on the adjustment ring. 14. Verify that the CCD Camera orientation on the microscope is identical to the eyepieces by moving your specimen back and forth while viewing the monitor. Tighten the thumbscrew at the base of the video adapter to prevent the CCD Camera from spinning on the phototube. NOTE: AFTER SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS, THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE SET ASIDE FOR FURTHER EXAMINATION. THIS MAY INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH THE LENSES OR SOME INTERNAL MICROSCOPE OR CAMERA MECHANISM.
