7.1 Functional principle

The microscope's most important functions may be easily accessed using function keys.

•The microscope may be switched between various contrast methods by pressing a button.

•The microscope recognizes the selected objective and associated contrast method. There- fore, the values for intensity (INT), aperture diaphragm (AP) and field diaphragm (FD) are always set correctly.

•The INT, AP and FD values can be adjusted individually. Manual adjustments overwrite the previous settings. The current setting is saved.

•The INT, AP and FD values are always based on the currently activated light axis (transmitted light or incident light).

•In addition to the preset function keys for INT, AP and FD, there are also variable function keys.

Variable function keys:

•At the time of delivery, these function keys are assigned functions suitable to the configura- tion of your microscope.

•However, the functions can be reprogrammed and/or adapted to your specific requirements.

Note: (reset function)

The microscope can be reset to its factory default programming:

•When the microscope is switched off, press all 3 variable function keys on the left stand section.

•Switch on the power for the stand.

•Hold the buttons until the initialization is complete.

•The standard indicator appears in the display.

•Switch the instrument off and back on. The settings are now saved.
