Notes on tilting
The rocker arm has two engagement levels:
O
Pulling on the rocker arm slightly releases
the holding brake and lets you tilt the
stand. Tilting past the zero position moves
an index pin over a click stop and a quiet
clicking sound can be heard. This allows
you to easily put the tilting stand in its
upright zero position.
O
Pulling the rocker arm all the way fully
disengages the index pin. This makes it
possible to evenly and easily tilt the stand
past the zero position. This can be useful
when recording a video.
An audible warning sounds before the objec-
tive collides with the XY stage while the micro-
scope is being tilted.
O
The warning tone triggers based on the
assumption that you are using a flat sample.
Exercise caution when using uneven or
protruding samples.
O
The microscope automatically detects the
objective type and adjusts the trigger-
ing angle for the audible warning signal
according to the various working distances.
Despite the audible warning from the
Leica DVM6, always exercise caution
when tilting the microscope.
The holding brake is engaged automati-
cally when you release the rocker arm
and prevents any further accidental tilting. This
avoids damage to the sample or Leica DVM6
even if the rocker arm is released by accident.
