7.1 Functional Principle
1. Intelligent automation
• Switch between different contrasting methods by pressing just one button. Light rings,
DIC-prisms, etc. are inserted into the beam path automatically.
• The microscope recognizes the objective in use and the corresponding contrasting
method. Therefore, the values for intensity (INT), aperture diaphragms (AP) and field
diaphragms (FD) are always set appropriately.
• The information about INT, AP and FD is always given with regard to the currently
activated light axis (transmitted light or incident light).
• The values for INT, AP and FD can be changed individually. This overwrites the previous
settings. Actual settings are stored automatically and can be recalled when switching on
the microscope again.
2. Control elements
• LeicaScreen
Controls the microscope’s functions via touch screen.
• SmartMove
For stage and focus control
• Fixed function keys at the stand
For INT, AP, FD and to switch between transmitted light and incident light.
• Variable function keys at the stand and at the SmartMove
The function keys are assigned logical functions before delivery, corresponding to the
configuration of your microscope. These functions can be re-programmed according to
your individual requirements.
• Entire control of microscope and camera via software
(Leica DMControl, Leica application software)
Based on an intelligent automation concept, the Leica DM6000 B/M can be operated via several
control elements.
