Supplementary Optics; Filter Slide - SCHOTT KL 1500 LCD Conseils D'utilisation

2.4 Supplementary optics

Use of in the supplementary optics
ensures that uniform, high-intensity
illumination is achieved even when
using light-guides with a smaller
bundle diameter.
If the illumination is carried out with
imaging or focussing optical systems at
the light guide exit, optimally uniform
illumination is achieved by moving the
supplementary optics out of the optical
path.
Position - Supplementary optics in
optical path:
uniform illumination with no optical
systems at the light guide exit.
Position - Supplementary optics out
of optical path:
uniform illumination with optical
systems at the light guide exit.
The supplementary optics must always
be positioned at the end stop.

2.5 Filter slide

The KL 1500 LCD has a filter slide (7)
that can be fitted with a filter insert
(available as an accessory).
The warning symbol on the filter
slide reminds you that it is essential
that the slide is in one of the two end
positions or the latched position when
the light source is being operated.
This is the only way to ensure opti-
mum air cooling of the light source.
Operating the light source with the
filter slide in an intermediate position
can cause damage to the latter.
2.5.1 Inserting filters into filter slide
Please take care to ensure that the filter
slide has cooled down before fitting
the filter insert into it. It carries the
warning symbol to remind you
Pull out the filter slide (7) as far as the
end stop and insert the required filter.
The light source is fully operational in
this position.
When the filter slide is pushed in up to
the end stop, the filter is located in the
optical beam path.
If you want to operate the light source
without a filter for a short time, pull
out the slide only up to the latched
position.
In this position the filter is still in the
light source but no longer in the path
of the beam.
