Ultraview Vox start-up and shutdown

Starting the Vox

1. Turn on the Exfo X-Cite metal halide light source on the shelf behind the Vox (see panel A in the image below). This will be used to look at fluorescent specimens down the eyepieces. The dial on the front is used to turn the light up or down
2. In no particular order turn on the computer, devices and lasers. The devices must be switched on before the Volocity acquisition software is opened.
3. The computer power button is at the top left of the front panel of the tower (see panel B in the image below)
4. The devices are all turned on through one switch on a wall socket plug behind the system. The plug is labelled 'Vox' (see panel C in the image below)
5. The lasers are turned on using the switch next to the socket at the bottom of the laser unit (see arrow in panel D in the image below)
