Light Manager Mode: SMART
In SMART mode, the Light Manager automatically calculates the optimum brightness for all objectives
specified via the TFT display (or the MTB 2011) for a specific contrast method.
If a motorized filter wheel with neutral-density filters is in the transmitted-light path, the color
temperature is kept constant by the different filters.
The lamp voltage is readjusted only if it is impossible to achieve optimum illumination through the
neutral-density filters. The computed values are automatically stored in the temporary memory of the
microscope.
As in CLASSIC mode, the values can be stored permanently by pushing the
LM-Set
button on the back
right of the stand.
In SMART mode, the operator can vary lamp intensity and neutral-density filter attenuation by
±
60 % for
all magnifications, without recalculation of the complete magnification range.
Any additionally installed coded or motorized microscope components (tube lens turret and Optovar
modules in reflector turret) will also be taken into consideration when computing the brightness.
