OPERATIONAxiovert 200 Axiovert 200 M Carl ZeissB 40-080 e 03/01 3-273.2.2.3 Light ManagerThe Light Manager is applied with the Axiovert 200 M (storage of set values) in the same way as withthe manual version.However, the functionality of the Light Manager is considerably greater in the Axiovert 200 M onaccount of the coding / motorization of the major microscope components.The Light Manager is automatically activated each time the Axiovert 200 is switched on. However, thereis the possibility of deactivating the Light Manager temporarily.Temporary deactivation is achieved by keeping the key FL on / off pressed after the instrument isswitched on until a double beep is emitted. The Light Manager is then deactivated until the microscopeis switched on the next time. LM off appears in the LCD display.In transmitted light, the following parameters are stored with each nosepiece position:− illumination intensity of the halogen illuminator− condenser turret position (i.e. one contrasting technique, e.g. H, Ph, DIC, per nosepiece position)− aperture stop openingThe intensity value is stored for each Optovar turret position (in combination with an objective), i.e. theillumination intensity is always suitable after a change of the Optovar magnification. The condenserturret position does not influence the illumination intensity.In reflected light, the position of the fluorescence shutter is also taken into consideration.The position of the reflector turret switches the halogen illuminator and the fluorescence shutter. If afluorescence filter set is swung in on the reflector turret, the halogen illuminator is switched off and thefluorescence shutter is opened. If no fluorescence filter set (brightfield) is swung in or configured, thehalogen illuminator is switched on and the fluorescence shutter is closed.If the halogen illuminator shall be used parallel to the reflected-light illuminator, it can be switched on viathe Hal on / off key, the illumination intensity can be matched, and this setting can also be stored bybriefly pressing the Set LM key (instrument rear).Standard settings are performed and stored in the factory for all components integrated into the LightManager function.The settings of the Light Manager can be manually adapted to the available conditions any time.If manually changed settings shall be stored permanently, this is possible by briefly pressing the SET LMkey. A brief beep after release of the key confirms that storage has been performed.
