(5) Imaging optics
Optovar sliders cannot be used.
The analyzer for the conventional DIC mode will be operated from the right side and is located just
below the nosepiece.
Use of sliders with auxiliary objects (473704/14-0000-000) is not possible.
(6) Photo equipment
The stand does not feature an integrated SLR-port, but microscope cameras as described in the Axiovert
operation manual can be used.
(7) TV adaptation
The TV port at the side and the tubes can be used as described in the Axiovert operation manual.
The TV interface side port or base port can be used with TV adapters 44 or LSM adapters.

Computer Hardware and Software
The LSM 510 is controlled via a standard high-end Pentium PC. Linking to the electronic control system is
made via an ultrafast SCSi interface. The PC comes with the 32-bit WINDOWS NT 4.0 or WINDOWS
2000 operating system.
The instrument is fully motorized, permitting fast change-over between methods as well as automatic
operation. Parameters once set or complex examination sequences once established can be saved and
reproduced; therefore, complete application programs can be loaded and performed by pushbutton
control.
The software of the LSM 510 has two levels. On the simple operator interface level, a result will be
achieved after a few prompts; graphical prompting of the user in conjunction with automatic setting of
many parameters is an ideal tool for daily routine jobs. The expert level offers perfect facilities for
individual settings of functions and parameters.
Conversion of the light signals into a digital image is effected by means of four 12-bit A/D converters,
each of which can generate 4096 brightness levels.
The software provides an enormously wide range of image processing functions, including all standard
2D/3D (stereo, projection) functions identical to sophisticated 3D reconstruction capabilities (surface and
alpha rendering), digital processing of voxels and 3D measurement functions (surface areas, volumes).
As all files and images are recorded in MS Access databases, elegant image database editing is just as
easy as transferring the records to other programs.
