Centering the 12 V 100 W halogen bulb

•In the adjustment window, you see the direct filament image and the mirror image, which as a rule are shifted together.

•Focus the direct filament image with the col- lector (46.6).

•Use the adjusting buttons on the rear side of the lamp housing (46.2, 46.4) to rotate the mirror image of the lamp filament to the side or com- pletely out of the beam path. The lamp fila- ment’s focused image remains visible (Fig. 47).

•Adjust the direct filament image using the ad- justing knobs (46.1) and (46.5) so that the cen- tering surface is halfway covered (Fig. 48).

•Then rotate the mirror image of the lamp fila- ment using the adjusting knobs (46.2) and (46.4), and focus it using the reflector (46.3).

•Align the mirror image symmetrically to the fila- ment image (Fig. 49). To do so, again use the adjusting knobs (46.2) and (46.4).

•Defocus the image with the collector head (46.6) until the filament image and mirror im- age are no longer recognizable and the image is uniformly illuminated.

•Replace the lamp adjustment reflector with the original filter cube.

Note:

Make sure to switch off the instrument.
