10. Use of the microscope in Brightfield (transmitted light)
10.1 General switch on
To activate the transmitted light illuminator, put the main switch
①, located on the left side of the stand, to the position "1". (Fig.
18)
10.2 Control keyboard
B-1000 illumination can be managed through the keyboard
placed on the left of the stand. (Fig. 19)
• ON-OFF (②): press this key (after switching the main switch
on "1") to turn ON or OFF the microscope LED.
• BOOST (③): press this button in order to increase the bright-
ness (useful for high-magnification objectives or very opaque
specimens).
Do not enable boost mode while observing with low mag-
nification objectives (4x, 10x) with fully open diaphragm:
the high brightness may hurt user's eyes.
• AUTO OFF (④): if you want the illuminator to switch off auto-
matically, press this button until 15, 30 or 60 minutes delay is
set. After this period of time, the light will turn off. You have to
press the ON-OFF button to turn it on again.
• The control keyboard only works with transmitted light. It
has no effect on fluorescence reflected light illumination.
10.3 Brightness adjustment

croscope to increase or decrease the light intensity on the spec-
imen. (Fig. 20)
