7. Startup

7.2 Switching on the unit

•First, swivel the objective with the lowest magnification into position.

•Switch on the microscope or CTR5000. All mo- torized microscope components will then run through an initialization phase.

After the initialization is complete, the display on the stand (Fig. 37) shows the current microscope setting

Caution!

After turning on the gas discharge lamp, the burner must be immediately adjusted. There- fore, do not turn on the power supply unit yet. First, work in transmitted light in order to familiarize yourself with the microscope’s controls.

Components such as diaphragms, condensers, light and phase rings have been pre-centered at the factory. It may be necessary to correct the centering after the microscope has been trans- ported and assembled.

Before proceeding with the necessary steps, first familiarize yourself with the stand’s display and control panel.

Note:

The Leica DM4500 P microscope is equipped at the factory with an encoded conoscopy module.

•Moving the Bertrand lens activates the cono- scopic or orthoscopic beam path. The status is indicated on the display with the methods "Conos" or "TL Pol".
