3.1.11 HAL 100 halogen illuminator
The HAL 100 illuminator is used as light source for
transmitted-light and reflected-light techniques
(except fluorescence) on the Axio Imager.
Attachment to the reflected-light or transmittedlight socket is performed analogously.
3.1.11.1 Attaching the HAL 100 halogen
illuminator
• Remove the protective cap from the reflected-
light or transmitted light socket.
• Insert the dovetail mount of the lamp housing
(3-13/9) into the corresponding socket (3-13/2
or 3-13/6) and, using the SW 3 ball-headed
screwdriver, tighten it with clamping screw
(3-13/1 or 3-13/8).
• Insert 3-pole lamp plug (3-13/7) into 3-pole

illuminator
The light manager functionality depends on the position of the toggle switch.
12 V/100 W connector (3-13/3 – for reflected
light or 3-13/5 - for transmitted light) on the
back of the instrument.
• Switch the toggle switch for transmitted/
reflected light (3-13/4) to the required position.

3.1.11.2 Adjusting the HAL 100 halogen
illuminator
(1) Coarse adjustment
• Loosen clamping screw (3-13/1 or 3-13/8) and
remove the operational halogen illuminator
from the microscope stand.
• Switch on microscope as described in Section
4.3.
• Direct the light beam to a projection surface
(wall) that is at least 3 m away.
Do not look into the light exit aperture
of the illuminator.
• Using the SW 3 ball-headed screwdriver turn
adjusting screw (3-14/3) until both images of
the lamp filament appear as sharp as possible
on the projection surface.
• Then, turn adjusting screws (3-14/4 and 5) until
the lamp filament of one image exactly fills the
gaps of the reflected filament image (3-14/1).

illuminator
(2) Fine adjustment
• Reattach the microscope illuminator to the microscope stand and lock it with the clamping screw.
• Move diffusion disk for reflected or transmitted light out and remove the filter wheels from the
respective slot.
• With an objective of ≤ 40x, focus on the specimen and search for a free place on the specimen.
• Remove eyepiece and, in the pupil image visible in the eyepiece socket, center the lamp filament and
its reflection with adjusting screws (3-14/4 and 5).
• Using adjusting screws (3-14/3) optimize the evenness of illumination of the pupil image.
It is advisable to use the adjusting aid (4-1/5) for fine adjustment of the halogen illuminator
mounted to the reflected-light socket. After pulling out the adjusting aid, the lamp filament
and its reflection can be viewed directly in its viewing glass.
• Move the diffusion disk in and reinsert the filter wheels.
