OPERATIONCarl Zeiss Axiovert 200 Axiovert 2003-6 B 40-080 e 03/01On / Off switch (3-1/1)− position 0 = instrument switched off− position I = instrument switched on, switch lights upKey HAL on/off (3-1/10)− Brief pressing switches the halogen illuminator on or off alternately.− Long pressing (> 1 s) automatically sets the brightness to 3200K for color photography.Toggle switch for brightness control of the halogen illuminator (3-1/11)− Controls the brightness of the halogen illuminator in 2 steps.step 1 – slow brightness change: switch pressed half down until first pressure point:switch to the left – brightness reductionswitch to the right – brightness increasestep 2 – fast brightness change: switch pressed down until stop (second pressure point)switch to the left – brightness reductionswitch to the right – brightness increase− Variable voltage range between 0 and 12 V. When the limit values are reached, a warning beep isemitted.− At 10.5 V, the halogen lamp provides light with the color temperature of 3200 K for colorphotography. To make this setting easier for you, the fast increase of the lamp voltage stops at thispoint and a beep is emitted. To further increase the lamp voltage, keep the toggle switch pressed formore than 1 sec or release it briefly and then press it again.− If the toggle switch is pressed down for more than 3 sec while the halogen illuminator is switched off,the halogen illuminator will automatically switch on again.Focusing drive (3-1/8)− Coarse adjustment (big knob):Focusing knob for coarse adjustment on both sides of the instrument: 1 coarse rotation = 5 mmOverall lift: approx. 10 mm− Fine adjustment (small knob):Focusing knob for fine adjustment available on both sides of the instrument: 1 fine rotation = 0.1 mmClamping lever for vertical stop of the focusing drive (3-1/33)− Setting of vertical stop for stage focusing.− Turn clamping lever for stop upwards towards the stopping pin.
