8.5 Eyepieces
Note:
The eyepiece’s aperture protector must be
removed or at least folded back, during
microscopy while wearing eyeglasses.
We recommend to take off glasses with bifocal
or progressive-addition lenses when working
with the microscope.
• For the adjustable tubes with documentation
output, choose the 100% VIS position.
Eyepieces with Inlaid Reticle
• Focus the reticle by adjusting the eyelens.
• Focus on the object through this eyepiece.
• Then, close that eye and focus on the
specimen by adjusting only the second
ocular.
Correction for Vision Problems
• With your right eye, look through the right
eyepiece and bring the specimen into sharp
focus.
• Then, with your left eye, view the same speci-
men and rotate the left eyepiece tube until the
object is brought into sharp focus. This does
not affect the Z-position.
Note:
For eyepieces that are not included in delivery,
we recommend to learn them in with the Soft-
ware Leica DMControl, module: Configuration.
This ensures that the information about total
magnification on the LeicaScreen is correct.
8.6 Objectives
Selecting objectives
Objectives can be selected and rotated into the
beam path via motorized functions, by pressing
the variable function keys at the stand or at the
SmartMove. They can also be selected
manually. In this case be sure that the
nosepiece turret locks into place.
The objective’s position in the turret is factory-
set and must be adhered to while screwing in
the objectives (see Objective Assembly
→
p. 24)
When you rotate the objective into position, the
microscope automatically recalls:
• the optimal setting for the field diaphragm
• the optimal setting for the aperture diaphragm
• the settings for light intensity for the chosen
contrast methode.
The objective magnification and the total magni-
fication appear in the LeicaScreen
