Functions of the Light Manager
It is the function of the Light Manager to temporarily create optimum illumination settings for the various
contrast methods and magnifications used and to make these settings reproducible to the user by
providing the possibility to store them permanently.
The Light Manager has three operating modes: OFF, CLASSIC, SMART. The scope of functions available in
the individual modes depends on some optional stand components.
The Light Manager is available for the transmitted-light contrast methods (brightfiels, phase contrast,
DIC, darkfield, polarization), for the reflected-light contrast methods (brightfield, darkfield, DIC,
polarization) and for epifluorescence. When working in reflected light, the motorized stop slider, the
neutral-density double-filter wheel and the motorized fluorescence attenuator, as far as available, are also
included in the Light Manager functionality.
The following table informs you which operating modes of the Light Manager can be used for the
individual stand models and the contrast methods mentioned.
