The E version DM IRB/E

Features of the Leica DM IRB/E

The Leica DM IRB/E offers the following addi- tional functions:

–Motorised, sextuple objective nosepiece

–Electronic focusing

–Coding of the IC objective prisms*

–Motorised fluorescence filter cube change with electrically operated dark flap*

–Control panel for remote control of the microscope components*

–Footswitch* (in connection with control panel or DM STC stage drive)

–LC display of microscope functions.

This manual applies to the Leica DM IRB/E inverted research microscope with Eprom version numbers:

Master (M)	2.40
Nosepiece (R)	2.30
Z drive (Z)	2.40

Deviations will therefore naturally occur for previous or subsequent versions.

*The EPROM version number is displayed by simultaneously pressing the “LEARN“ and “CHANGE“ keys (Fig. 53b), and by pressing the “CHANGE” key afterwards the 3 EPROMS can be read out in succession.

For users who want to program the Leica DM IRB/E microscope themselves, a free software development kit called “Leica SDK“ is available for Windows 3.11, Windows 95 and Windows NT on request.

Important note:

Before using a brand new Leica DM IRB/E microscope for the first time, an initial installation has to be carried out.

Function and operation

Straight after the Leica DM IRB/E microscope is switched on, the system will be initialised. This takes a few seconds. A message to this effect will appear in the LC display on the front of the microscope.
