9. Contrast methods for Leica DM4000 B/DM4500 P/DM5000 B
9.1.4.3 Motorized method
• After the
POL
contrast method has been se-
lected, the position of the polarizer is
switched inside the condenser (if the micro-
scope is equipped with these components).
The analyzer cube is also automatically
brought into the beam path.
9.1.4.4 Combined methods
• For the Leica DM4000 B, DM4500 P and Leica
DM5000 B microscopes, it is possible to com-
bine purely mechanical and motorized compo-
nents.
For DM4500 P only:
After the Bertrand lens (links)
is turned inwards,
CONOS
appears on the display. The light intensi-
ty and aperture and field diaphragms are as-
signed to the objective currently in use (objec-
tive magnification for conoscopy is 40x, 63x or
100x).
9.1.5 Differential interference contrast (TL)
9.1.5.1 DM4500 P
• Switch to the transmitted light axis (TL) by
pushing the
