The Leica EL6000 compact light source is
intended for biological routine and research
work, including the examination of specimens
from the human body for the purpose of gain-
ing information.
•
The Leica EL6000 compact light
source is intended exclusively for
operating mercury short-arc lamps of type
HXP-R120W/45C VIS from OSRAM in conjunc-
tion with a suitable light guide for the instru-
ment. Any other use of the instrument shall be
considered noncompliant use.
Special features:
The Leica EL6000 compact light source has an
automatic beam cover. This ensures that the
light beam output of the instrument when the
light guide is detached. This prevents the user
from being harmed by the intense light beam
generated by the instrument.
The Leica EL6000 compact light source has a
built-in shutter. It can be operated at the instru-
ment itself by means of a pushbutton or via a
remote control input. The shutter is open when
the "open" LED is illuminated.
The brightness can be varied in 5 increments
(0 %–100 %). For this purpose, a mechanical
dimming unit that can be operated using a
rotary switch on the front of the unit is installed
in the device.
Heat-absorbing filter
When the cover is open, the holder for the heat
filter can be accessed. Here, (hardened) heat-
absorbing filters for protecting the light guide
and various conversion filters with a diameter
of 32 mm for adapting the spectrum to the
application can be inserted.
The Leica EL6000 comes factory-equipped with
a heat-absorbing filter.
