Leica 106Z user manual Stereo-fluorescence module Focusing drive base of stand

Stereo-fluorescence module

Focusing drive ➜ base of stand

▶Connect manually-operated or motor-driven focusing drive, complete with column, to base, as described in user manual M2-105-0EN..

Before using the motor focus, you must read the safety directions in the accompanying user manual M2-267-104.

For the Leica stereomicroscope models MS5, MZ6, MZ8, MZ12, MZAPO with manual focusing drive, fit the micro­scope in

the upper position on the focusing drive ­(refer to user manual for stereomicroscope)..

Fluorescence module ➜ stereomicroscope

•Assemble in the following­ order without double-iris dia- phragm: Optics carrier, fluorescence module, bin­ocular tube or phototube

•Assemble in the following­ order with double-iris diaphragm:

Optics carrier, double-iris diaphragm, fluorescence module, binocu­lar­ tube or phototube­

▶Align the fluorescence module on the optics carrier so that

the adapter­ for the lamp housing points backwards at about 45°

▶Continue assembling in accordance with the user manual for the stereomicroscope (see section “Fitting accessory tubes”)

Video-/phototubes

The fluorescence illumination­ is directed along the left-hand beam path and could cause hot-spots in the image.. Therefore:

▶Position the HU phototube­ over the right­ -hand beam path.

Changing the filter set

Removable filter sets that can hold various filters are available for the fluorescence module.. A filter set consists of a filter carrier with barrier filter and of a filterholder with excitation filter..

If you wish to change the filter set while you are in the middle of a task, leave the illuminator switched on so that you will

not have to wait for the lamp to cool (page 12) before continuing..

Important: With the illuminator on, insert the filterhol- der with diaphragm into slide-in unit 3 to avoid being suddenly exposed to excessively bright light (page 22).

▶ Remove the binocular tube..

▶ Loosen the 3 socket-head screws..

▶ Remove the cover..

▶ Loosen the fastening screw and take out the filter carrier..

▶ Insert the desired filter carrier.. Fit both of the two guide pins in the fluorescence module into the holes on the filter carrier..

▶ Tighten the fastening screw securely..

▶ Replace the cover and tighten the 3 socket-head screws securely..

▶Replace the binocular tube..

▶Insert a suitable exciter filter (page 22)..

▶Take out the filterholder with diaphragm..

▶Re-adjust the light source (page 15)..
