Protecting the Sample and Preventing It from Decoloration (Using the Shutter)
If the sample is continuously exposed to the strong light of the mercury lamp used for the epi-fluorescence attachment, it
may become damaged or decolorized. Be sure to close the shutter when suspending microscopy or when pausing
epi-fluorescence microscopy to perform microscopy with diascopic light. Be sure to get into the habit of performing this
operation.
Any of these shutters can be used to open/close the optical path as shutters for blocking the epi-fluorescence illumination
are provided in the following attachments:
 Manual/intelligent/motorized epi-fluorescence cube turret
 Manual/motorized HG precentered fiber illuminator (Intensilight)
 EPI motorized shutter

■ Motorized epi-fluorescence cube turret
Press the FL SHUTTER button to open/close the shutter of a
motorized epi-fluorescence cube turret. “The shutter is
closed” when the button is ON.
The FL SHUTTER button function is set to “open/close the
shutter built in the epi-fluorescence cube turret on the 1st
layer” as default. Changing the setting of the button function
allows you to use the FL SHUTTER button for
opening/closing the motorized epi-fluorescence cube turret
on the 2nd layer”.
