***NOTES FOR CHANGING A MICROSCOPE LIGHT BULB***
Being in the
Microscope Business for over 25 years Specialty Optical has seen all
kinds of specialty bulbs that need replacement in optical systems. From
multi-million dollar photolithography machines to simple student
microscopes there are some basic guidelines that can be followed to
ensure safety and extend the life of the bulb.
PURCHASING A MICROSCOPE LIGHT BULB:
If
you have trouble finding your bulb, try searching the web with the
model number of the scope or any other information you know about the
light bulb. There are many light bulb distributors globally but it is a
good idea to buy a microscope bulb either from the scope manufacturer, a
microscope dealer, or a “specialty” bulb distributor. These bulbs
(sometimes referred to as “lamps”) are not household bulbs and if not
sourced correctly can result in lost time and lost money. We have seen
such things as filament spacing, arc positioning, base seating, and poor
ceramic potting as issues. Another issue we hear is pricing
discrepancies. Once again, buy from a reputable source - when there is
an issue with the performance of the microscope or light bulb the
retailer or web site will not know how to correct the problem.
MICROSCOPE LIGHT BULB REMOVAL:
Locate
the microscope manual. It is always a good idea to follow the steps
within the manual. Some microscope manuals have detailed graphics that
show where the light bulb is located and how to replace it.
Make
sure the microscope has been off for at least 30 minutes. Some of these
light bulbs burn extremely hot and can cause severe burns.
When
removing the light bulb, be very careful when taking it out of the
socket. Some sockets are made out of ceramic that can be fragile. You
may require a screwdriver to remove the illuminator in order to get to
the light bulb.
Compare the removed light bulb with the new
bulb. There are so many different types of bulbs and manufacturers of
bulbs that even the slightest change may affect the optics of the
microscope. It is also a good idea to keep the light bulb for future
reference.
MICROSCOPE LIGHT BULB INSTALLATION:
Never
touch the glass of the light bulb especially if you are replacing a
mercury short arc, xenon, or halogen bulb. The oil from your skin
increases the surface temperature of the bulb causing the light bulb to a
have shorter life. Use a cloth or request an optical cloth for bulb
replacement. We can send you one if requested free of charge when
buying a bulb from us.
Reverse the procedures when you removed
the burnt out light bulb and reattached the illuminator. Some higher
end microscopes require filament alignment. There should be adjustment
screws that change the “X” and “Y” axis for proper performance.
MICROSCOPE LIGHT BULB DISPOSAL:
Most
bulbs can simply be thrown away but some microscope bulbs require
proper disposal. If you are replacing a mercury, xenon, or fluorescent
bulb, contact the distributor to ensure proper disposal methods.
