7.4 The function keys
There is a row of function keys both on the right
and left side of the stand. These can be broken
down into fixed and variable buttons. The vari-
able function keys have different functions de-
pending on the features of the individual micro-
scope.
Fixed function keys on the left side of the stand
The
TL/IL
button (38.1) toggles between the in-
cident light and transmitted light axis. The
contrast method last used with a given axis is
restored when switching.
The
INT
buttons (38.3) adjust the light intensity.
The adjustment can be made in coarse or fine
steps. Pressing both
INT
buttons at the same
time toggles between coarse and fine adjust-
ment.
The display indicator changes accordingly
