Objectives
Objectives may be selected by the pull-down menu. The
objectives will be raised and lowered as part of the
rotation. The multi-function plate (MFP) should be set to
substrate
for most applications. Use Automatic
determination of the beamsplitter.
Selecting the Fluorescence Detectors
Up to four detectors may be selected simultaneously. The
detector type (HyD or PMT) is indicated in the top left of
each detector window. The detector is selected by
clicking on the on/off button. The color of its display
output is selected from a pull-down menu next to the
type indicator. HyD detectors have a gain selected by
clicking on its slider button. PMT detectors have both
gain and offset functions, controlled by clickable sliders.
Leica recommends a starting offset of -0.3%.
Modifiying the Detector Bandwidth
The detector bandwidth may be modified in either
direction by simply clicking on and dragging its edges.
The minimum bandwith is 5 nm. Adjacent detector
bands may not overlap.
Selecting the Transmitted Light Detector
The TL detector is selected by clicking on its ON/OFF box. It is
a PMT and is responsive up to 900 nm. Like the other PMTs it
has gain and offset controls. Proper centering of the condenser
aperture is required for optimum effectiveness. The condenser
need not be focused but it should be close to the specimen.
Use the Dodt controller to modulate the contrast. The
optimum Dodt setting when viewed with the eyepieces is not
necessarily the same as the optimum setting when using
confocal.
Acquisition Start Buttons
At the base of the pane are four action buttons. At left, the
Autofocus
button should not be used. The
Live
button initiates
scanning at the indicated rate and format until it is pressed
again.
