4.3.11 Stereo microscopes
There are three configurations of the stereo microscope available for observing and
adjusting the sample. Highest visual magnification (~230x) can be achieved with the
Leica M80 stereo in conjunction with the 1.6x objective, movable lens adapter and
coaxial illumination. M80 in conjunction with the 0.8x objective provides about 77x
visual magnification. The magnification with the S9E is around 40x. In addition to the
alignment process of the sample inside the chamber all microscopes can be used to
manipulate the sample outside the chamber by placing the working plate on top of
the chamber. In order to set the stereo microscope in the correct observation position
there are different coloured rings on the column of the stereo microscope.
Scales of the cross hair reticule built in one eyepiece:
S9E: one increment corresponds to ~ 25 µm at the highest zoom magnification
M80 (77x): one increment corresponds to ~ 15 µm at the highest zoom mag.
M80 (230x): one increment corresponds to ~ 5 µm at the highest zoom mag.
Stereo microscope M80 with the moveable lens adapter, 0.8x objective and ring LED
illumination.
The microscope is fixed on the slide rails on the table flange and moves with it. In this
way, it is always centred on the sample.
Note!
