Feature: White Light Source

  • White Light Source: Ocean optics, model HL-2000-HP-FHSA.
  • Replacement Bulb: Ocean optics, part number HL-2000-HP-B (circa USD 150.00).

  • It is difficult to turn the knob that adjusts the brightness of the white light source. The manual indicates the trick is to loosen the small hex head screw on the ring holding the knob a little and the knob will turn easily to adjust brightness, then tighten the hex head screw to lock in the brightness setting. This needs a 2mm Allen wrench (the blue metric allen wrenches are stored in the bottom section of the Adaptive Optics tool box).

  • Bulb replaced.
  • Sliding shutter at front of unit was repaired. However, for convenience the White Light Source remains mounted inverted.

    For some time (pre-2017), the sliding shutter at the front of the unit had been loose/inoperative: The knurled thumbscrew normally used to adjust shutter position was ineffective. Hence, the white light generating unit has been installed inverted, such that the loose shutter fell open by default.
