starts in the automatic mode. The factory-aligned
(average) values or the last stored settings of illumination intensity, condenser functions, transmitted light
on or off (light manager function) are activated depending on the relevant nosepiece or reflector turret
positions (see the following table). The condenser turret position has been factory-set to transmitted-
light brightfield.

The values for illumination intensity and the condenser functions can be changed manually any time.
However, if a new objective is swung in via the nosepiece, or if a new reflector position is set, the
microscope control will automatically set the illumination and condenser functions to the values stored
for these positions.
If manually changed settings (e.g. light intensity and aperture diaphragm opening for KÖHLER
illumination) are to be stored, this is possible by shortly pressing the Set key (< 1 second) on the
instrument rear. The successful storing is confirmed by a short beep when the Set key is released. The
settings are allocated to the current nosepiece and reflector turret positions and are available immediately
(i.e. when nosepiece / reflector turret is swung in the same position again).
