The microscopic components such as dia-
phragms, condenser, light and phase rings are
already pre-centered in the factory. However,
re-centering may be necessary due to transpor-
tation and assembly.
Before proceeding with the necessary steps,
first familiarize yourself with the LeicaScreen
and control panel.
Caution!
After turning on the gas discharge lamp, the
burner must be immediately adjusted. There-
fore,
do not
turn on the power supply unit
yet. First, work in transmitted light in order to
familiarize yourself with the microscope’s
controls.
