8.7 The function keys for Leica DM3000
The front control panel features six black keys
for direct selection of an objective. Adhesive la-
bels with the corresponding objective magnifi-
cation can be attached below the objective
keys. The objective key for objective 1, which is
generally the objective with the lowest magnifi-
cation, is located on the far left. The assignment
of the keys to the objective is carried out at the
factory and is dependent upon the microscope
equipment.
The gray toggle key on the far right side is used
to switch modes.
In standard mode, the two function keys on the
right or the left side of the stand (Fig. 56.2) are
used to sequentially approach the objective
magnifications. Pressing the upper or lower
keys causes the objective turret to turn clock-
wise or counterclockwise. The key assignment
on the right and left side of the stand is identical
in the standard configuration.
