5.9.1
Light Manager mode: OFF
Fig. 87
Illumination intensity when looking into the eyepieces, if only the objective is to be changed
(assuming 20x).
If the Light Manager is switched off, the microscope operates like a conventional light microscope.
Starting from a selected magnification and an appropriate lamp voltage, the user must readjust the
voltage manually to obtain a comparable brightness with a higher or lower magnification.
5.9.2
Light Manager mode: CLASSIC
Fig. 88
Illumination intensity when looking into the eyepieces, if only the objective is to be changed
(assuming 20x). The Light Manager settings for each objective have been saved previously.
If the Light Manager is being used in CLASSIC mode, the user can select his or her own optimum
illumination settings for each magnification (each combination of objective and Optovar).
The illumination must be set for all contrast techniques used (H, PH, DIC) for each objective.
The relevant values are automatically stored in Light Manager's temporary memory when the objective is
changed.
To save the settings permanently (thereby permitting them to be accessed after the microscope has been
switched off), press the LM-Set button on the right of the stand before switching off the microscope. A
beep will be emitted to confirm that the settings have been permanently saved. This will be followed
approximately 3 seconds later by a second beep. It is now safe to switch off the microscope.
Permanently saved settings can be changed temporarily during a session. If these settings are not saved
permanently by pressing the LM-Set button, they will be discarded when the microscope is switched off.
When the microscope is switched back on, the permanent settings will be restored.
