Epi-fluorescence Microscopy Procedure
WARNING
The light source used with the epi-fluorescence attachment (mercury lamp) requires special care during handling
because of its characteristics. Make sure you are familiar with and adhere to all warnings and cautions described at
the beginning of this instruction manual.
Locate the observation target on the specimen under bright-field microscopy, then proceed to epi-fluorescence
microscopy.
(See Chapter 2, “17 Tips for Epi-fluorescence Microscopy” for the tips to locate the observation target on the specimen.)
A CI-FL Epi-fluorescence attachment is used in the following procedure as an example. When using a D-FL
Epi-fluorescence attachment, refer to the D-FL Epi-fluorescence attachment Instructions.
