If no TFT is installed (Axio Imager M2p), parfocality may also be adjusted manually. For this to
be possible, the objectives must have been successfully configured with the aid of the
MTB 2011 configuration program. Perform this as follows:
•
Activate programming mode by keeping the
LM Set
button depressed for a while (> 3 s -
acknowledged by a prolonged double beep). When programming mode is active, every
second LED on the LED bar graph is lit. To start parfocality adjustment, press the
RL
button
on the light control.
•
Turn in the reference objective. This is usually the objective with the highest magnification
and air immersion. The position to be moved to on coded objective nosepieces is displayed
on the LED bar graph. However, if a motorized objective nosepiece is used, this is swiveled
in automatically.
•
Focus on the specimen and then press one of the middle buttons on the control ring on the
stand.
•
Change to the next displayed magnification. This happens automatically if a motorized
nosepiece is used.
•
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all the objectives have been adjusted. A tone will sound as
acknowledgment.
•
Complete the procedure by pressing the LM Set button again. (Acknowledgment by a single
long prolonged beep. Bar graph LED returns to standard display.)

In the Axio Imager .Z2 / m, a focus linear sensor
can be used for position monitoring of the
focusing drive. If present, this can be switched on
and off.
