1.1 General

Please make yourself familiar with the contents

of these operating instructions before

attaching and starting up the components for

3D microscopy. Additional information is

available from our maintenance service or from

authorized agencies.

please see the operating instructions of these

microscopes.

When using video components from KAPPA,

please comply with the supplied manual "Color

TV camera for microscopy and 3D images".

Special regard must be paid to the notes on

instrument safety included in this manual.

To guarantee the safe operation and function

of the components for 3D microscopy, it is

necessary under any circumstances to take the

precaution measures and observe the warnings

contained in the operating instructions.

The following symbols are used for the

warnings:

Caution!

Non-observance of the safety notes constitutes

a hazard for the user.

Caution!

Non-observance of the safety notes constitutes

a hazard for the instrument.

Caution!

Disconnect the instrument from the line before

opening it.

☞Note!

Notes which must be observed.

1.2 Regulations concerning

instrument safety and

electromagnetic

compatibility (EMC)

The components for 3D microscopy have been

designed and tested in compliance with EN

61010, Part 1 (VDE 0411). From the safety

viewpoint, they left the factory in a perfect

state.

They meet the requirements of the EC directive

89/336/EC and the EMC legislation of

November 9th 1992 and the legal regulations

for accident prevention.

The components for 3D microscopy meet the

EC requirements and are CE-labelled.

3D Microscopy Notes on unpacking, transport and storage

B 40-022-4 e 07/98 5

1.3 Notes on unpacking,

transport and storage

The components for 3D microscopy must be

transported in their original packaging. It is

recommended to use the original packaging

also for storage.

The transport and storage temperatures must

comply with those listed under "Technical

Data".

When unpacking the components which are

equipped with polarizing foil (3D illumination

shutter, eyepieces with 3D shutter), make sure

to be particularly careful, since the foil can be

easily scratched.

1.4 Hints on use



The components for 3D microscopy can

only be used with halogen lamps up to

max. 100 W.



The power plug must be inserted in a

socket featuring a grounding (earth)

contact.

The grounding effect must not be reduced

by an extension cable which does not have

a protective ground wire.



Prior to connection to the line, check

whether the voltage set on the selector at

the rear of the 3D-CONTROL DAS-3 unit

complies with the line voltage; it may be

necessary to change from 230 V to 115 V.

The change to 115 is only required for the

3D-CONTROL DSA-3 unit.

For further details, see "Care and

Maintenance" on page VIII.



Cable connections may only be made if the

various components are switched off.



For the video components from KAPPA, it is

absolutely necessary to use only the

connectors listed in the manual "Color TV

camera for microscopy and 3D images".



Make sure that the cables are not bent or

laid out in too narrow a radius.



The optical components must be protected

from dirt and mechanical damage;

special care must be taken to prevent the

polarizing foils of the 3D illumination

shutter from being touched.



The components for 3D microscopy must be

protected from impact and humidity.

1.5 Notes on maintenance



To enable 3D microscopy to function

perfectly, it is necessary to use only

components and spares marketed or

admitted by us. When in doubt, please

contact our service staff.



With the exception of the work described in

the "Care and maintenance" chapter, the

user must not perform any repairs or

changes himself. We would like to

emphasize that all other changes and

repairs must be performed by specially

authorized personnel.



The manufacturer is not liable for damage

caused by unauthorized operation. This

forfeits all the claims against warranty.

3D Microscopy Function

Eypiece version

B 40-022-4 e 07/98 7

2.2 Function

The dynamic technique on which 3D

microscopy is based can be used with any light

microscope with an accessible aperture

diaphragm.

The technique can be used with upright or

inverted reflected-light and transmitted-light

microscopes.

A patent has been applied for the technique.

Eyepiece version

There are three different versions of 3D

microscopy:



eyepiece version



monitor version



combination of eyepiece and monitor

version

2.2.1 Eyepiece version

An LCD shutter ("3D illumination shutter") is

positioned close to the aperture diaphragm and

is used to open or close one half of the beam

path.

With the eyepiece version, the LCD shutter is

controlled via the "3D-CONTROL DSA-3" unit.

The centroid of the illumination beam path is

switched in such a way that the object is

illuminated alternately from a right and a left

stereo angle.

The eyepiece shutters are controlled at the

same pulse rate, i.e. each eye only sees the

image on its own side.

right eye



right image

left eye



left image

A flicker-free display of the stereo image

composed of the right and left images is made

possible by an appropriately high pulse rate.

When the illuminator - eye allocation is

changed, a pseudostereo effect is created

(height-changed image).

Resolution, contrast and depth can be

optimized with relation to the object via the

aperture diaphragm.

2.2.2 Monitor version

An LCD shutter ("3D illumination shutter") is

positioned close to the aperture diaphragm and

is used to open or close half a side of the beam

path.

With the monitor version, the LCD shutter is

controlled via the "3MCU II" unit.

The centroid of the illumination beam path is

switched in such a way that the object is

illuminated alternately from a right and a left

stereo angle.

The camera and the monitor shutters are

controlled at the same pulse rate, i.e. each eye

only sees the image on its own side.

In the monitor version, allocation is made via

the display of the half images in two

perpendicular polarization directions which can

be allocated to the eyes by polarizing glasses.

A flicker-free display of the stereo image

composed of the right and left images is made

possible by an appropriately high pulse rate.

When the illuminator - eye allocation is

changed, a pseudostereo effect is created

(height-changed images).

Resolution, contrast and depth can be

optimized with relation to the object via the

aperture diaphragm.
