Installation of the DIC Module
and DIC Objective Prisms
If your microscope is not equipped with DIC,
please continue with Chapter 6.4.
In the Leica DMI 6000 B microscope, the DIC
prisms are already installed in the DIC disk be-
low the objective turret (Fig. 10b).
Proceed as follows when making changes to the IC
prism disk:
• Remove the front cover (Fig. 11) below the
objective revolver after releasing the socket
screws (Fig. 10a).
• Insert the DIC prism disk (Fig. 10b) in its
receptacle and tighten the two socket
screws.
Note: insert the prism disk with the
electronics board facing down.
Replacing Individual IC Prisms:
• Release the two socket screws and remove
the prism disk.
• Place the prism against the stop pin (10b.3),
place the washer between the screw and the
prism, and tighten gently to prevent undue
tension. Insert the prism so that its identifying
letter, e.g. ID, is facing upward and is legible.
• After installing the prisms, replace the prism
disk into its receptacle.
