Sample Transport Mechanism
The Sample Transport Mechanism refers to the mechanisms associated
with delivering test tubes of specimen to the Specimen Presentation
Assembly. The STM is composed of the Sampler and the Specimen
Tube Detector.
Specimen Tube Detector
Sampler # 700-3006
The Sampler is located on the front of the
sampler used on the AX-4280. A bridge connection can be installed
between the two systems allowing automatic transfer of sample racks
after they have been processed on the AX-4280.
Sample racks, each capable of holding 10 tubes, are loaded on the right
side of the sampler. To start the transport of the racks to the pipetting
station, the operator presses the “Start” button. The Sampler presents
sample tubes loaded onto racks at the pipetting station. The Sampler
also has electro-optical sensing of various internal (relating to motor and
actuator positions) and external (relating to rack position) status. The SM
was specifically designed to use the Arkray Sampler.

Specimen Tube Detector # 700-3725
This small assembly uses specially focused visible light to determine if a
sample tube is present at the position where the pipette can extract
specimen. Because racks are not necessarily filled with samples tubes,
the specimen tube detector allows the Microscopy Module to skip
positions where there is no sample tube, avoiding using consumables for
non-existent specimens, and achieving higher specimen throughput.

3. Components
Specimen Presentation Assembly # 700-3700
The SPA or “Specimen Presentation Assembly,” is associated with the
“front end” handling of the urine. Mechanically, the SPA mixes the
specimen within the sample tube for uniform particle distribution,
aspirates sample from the test tube, and delivers it to the next process in
the Microscopy Module. The pipette (a vertical two-lumen tube) is
mounted onto a two-axis arm, and provides the means for positioning the
pipette down into the sample tube. The SPA includes two DC motors with
integral encoders—one for vertical translation of the pipette arm, and one
for rotation of the pipette arm.
Top board
Crash Detect Function
The Crash Detect function senses one switch (of a pair of snap-action
switches mounted on the SPA arm itself). A latched relay on the SPA
SIC is held pulled-in until the Hard Crash switch on the SPA arm opens
(due to a crash), the relay drops out, and drive to the vertical motor is
interrupted. When the relay is pulled in, the green “Vert OK” LED is on.
When the relay is dropped out, the red “Vert Crash” LED is on. At
Microscopy Module power-up, the Hard Crash condition is automatically
reset by an alternate signal on the SPA SIC. There is a push-button
switch on the SPA SIC to manually reset the Hard Crash condition if the
incoming Hard Crash signal (from the Hard Crash switch on the SPA arm)
is no longer asserted. Under normal conditions, the manual switch is not
used. Even when the vertical motor is disabled by the crash relay
dropping out, the SPA SIC will still allow upward vertical motion of the
SPA arm, but not downward motion.

Optical Bench Assembly #700-3500
Sample is presented as a lamina sandwiched between enveloping layers
of suspending fluid. The fluids pass into the Flow Cell in front of a
microscope. The lamination positions the specimen exactly within the
depth of focus and field of view of the objective lens of the microscope. A
CCD (charge coupling device) video camera, connected to the
microscope, captures five hundred frames per sample, as each
microscopic field of view is illuminated by the flash of a strobe lamp. The
resulting pictures are digitized and delivered to the Analysis Processor
computer.
The Optical Bench Assembly (OBA) is a mechanical/electro-optical
assembly that provides for the microscopic images of a transmissivelyilluminated ultra-thin sheet of the specimen to be captured as a video
image by the CCD camera. Three thermistors are mounted on different
component parts of the OBA to check that the temperature is stable.
When temperatures are changing, because of the sub-micron accuracy
required for proper images the OBA requires re-focusing.
The mechanical part of the OBA includes:
1. Flow Cell
2. Strobe Light

Flow Cell # 525-3077
This precision assembly is where the thin sheet of liquid specimen is
presented in a continuous flow microscope-slide manner for observation
by the image capturing system. The sample is pulled into the Flow Cell
by the Evacuation pump. Lamina encases the sample, keeping the
specimen in thin sheet, and keeps the specimen away from the Flow Cell
surfaces to minimize surface contamination.
Strobe Light # 065-0059
The strobe light provides short, high-intensity, parallel-light strobe-light
pulses on a controlled basis through the thin sheet of specimen. This
subsystem includes a 400V to 1000V strobe power supply and a high
intensity strobe flash tube.
CCD Camera # 700-3565
The CCD camera, coupled to the Microscope, takes magnified highresolution digital pictures of the sample going through the Flow Cell.
20 x Objective # 220-3009
The objective magnifies the sample going through the Flow Cell.
Autofocus Motor ” Micro-nudger” # 700-3505
This mechanism allows moving the Flow Cell into the appropriate position
where the thin specimen is focused for image capture. Focus position is
achieved with an ultra-fine-pitch stepper motor providing a movement of
about 0.2 microns per full step.

Cardcage
The Microscopy Module control center
is the cardcage, and is composed of
the Microscopy Module backplane,
assembly number 101-5003, and nine
circuit boards (called the Cardcage boards). The backplane has nine 120pin DIN connectors into which the
Cardcage boards plug. The color of
the card guides for each slot position
identifies the type of board required in
the slot—the color of the board’s plastic
card ejector should match the color of
the card guide. There are also 16 other
connectors on the backplane for
interface to the rest of the SMCS
system.

Signal Interface Concentrators (SICs)
While the SMCS card cage is the central brain of the SMCS, the control
and monitor signals of the SMCS must reach the electrical hardware that
it is measuring and controlling. To achieve this signal distribution, the
SMCS includes many “Signal Interface Concentrators’ PCBAs (SICs)
located throughout the SM.
The SICs provide a local place where the individual elements of the
particular subsystem of the SM have their electrical signals
“concentrated.” In some cases, there is ESN capability on the SICs.
Power SIC # 101-5020
The Power SIC provides a controlled interface between the DC power
supply, and the rest of the SMCS. It also provides controlled power to the
Strobe. The Power SIC is mounted atop the SMCS Cardcage, and
interfaces to backplane connector J15 through a 10-wire ribbon
connector, and to backplane connector J16, a 14-wire discrete wire
connector with large gauge wires carrying the actual power signals. The
Power SIC receives power directly from the DC Power supply via another
10-pin discrete wire connector. It also provides 12-volt regulated power
to the CCD camera. The power delivered to the Cardcage (and the rest
of the SMCS) is switched off and on by a logical signal from the SM front
panel “Standby” switch.
The Power SIC connectors are summarized in table below.

LED Visual Indicators
LED visual indicators are used throughout the SMCS to provide local
indication of status. LEDs will be red, green, and yellow (or amber).
Generally, the red LED will indicate a fault condition, and the yellow LED
will indicate a “caution” condition.
1. On the Cardcage boards, the LEDs are positioned in two rows at
the front edge of the board where they are viewed normal to the
board’s surface, but they can be seen in a front view of the card
cage by viewing slightly towards the component side of the PCBs.
2. On the SMCS backplane, they are located in the area above the
connectors, generally non-obscured by the cables connected to
the backplane. All of the LEDs on the backplane are red, and
indicate which (if any) of the 22 fuses are blown.
3. On the various remote circuit boards, they are appropriately
placed for the application.

Specimen Tube Detector Calibration
The purpose of this calibration is to set both the tube detector alignment
and sensitivity. The Specimen Tube Detector is an electro optical device
used to detect the presence of a specimen tube in the tube rack. The
STD emits a beam of light directed at the #1 tube position, which reflects
off the surface of the tube back to a collector in the STD. The intensity of
the reflected beam is converted to a hexadecimal value. This value is
compared to the pre-set threshold value. If the value is above the
threshold, the software concludes a tube is present.
Note: Make sure the Sampler calibration has been performed BEFORE
calibrating the Specimen Tube Detector.

Iris Diluent
Procedure
1. Remove the shield to access the front of the instrument.
2. Insert a T fitting between the air pressure pump line and the air
pressure bottle (black connector).
3. Run a line from the T fitting to a calibrated air pressure gauge.
4. Place a tube with 10mL of Diluent in a rack.
5. Place the rack on the right side of the sampler and press GO. The air
system pressurizes during the fluid wash procedure.
6. Read the air pressure on the air pressure gauge following the sample
cycle. The air pressure should be between 5.0 ±0.5psi.
7. If the air pressure needs to be adjusted, proceed with the following
steps:
a. Start the Service Application.
b. Under the SPA Calibration, adjust the value cal [14]: pressure
setting. If the air pressure is too high, decrease the pressure
setting value by one step at the time (2 Hex = 1 psi.)
c. Repeat steps 4 through 6 until the air pressure reading on the
gauge is within the acceptable range.
8. Process several samples after the adjustment has been made:
a. When the pipette descends into a sample tube, the pipette
releases a single large bolus of air. The sample will shoot up
inside the tube to about 1 cm from the top of the tube.
b. If the sample overflows the top of the tube, decrease the air
pressure.
9. Acceptance criteria:
a. Air pressure: 5.0 ±0.5psi.

Collimation
What is a Collimation?
Collimation is the adjustment of the alignment of each optical element
with regard to the others. The collimation is a way of improving
considerably the optical performance. No high-resolution result can be
obtained without an near perfect collimation, since image processing is
incapable of compensating for the damages caused by a misalignment.
