Collimator Set-up Tutorial
- Fit the collimator to your microscope.
- Fit a plastic fluorescent test slide and set the camera to get a reference level
- Using the niji, send light through the microscope to appropriately illuminate the slide.
4. Adjust the collimator to optimise the fluorescence seen by the camera to maximum power. We suggest moving the lens nearest the light guide first and then tune with the lens nearest the microscope
5. Done! This procedure doesn’t need to be repeated at other wavelengths as the collimator has been designed to be highly apochromatic.
