Leica DMI3000 B:

¥Light intensity: the transmitted-light intensity can be adjusted continuously from 0 to 12V using the potentiometer at the lower left of the front of the microscope stand.

Leica DMI4000 B and Leica DMI6000 B:

¥Adjust the intensity with the function buttons (118.4). The INT function buttons are always assigned to the currently active transmitted light (TL) or incident light (IL) axis.

¥For TL and IL:

The setting can be made in coarse and fine steps. Pressing both INT (118.2) buttons as the same time toggles between coarse and fine ad- justment. The light intensity displayed on the LeicaScreen changes accordingly.

Coarse adjustment:

0Ð20

Fine adjustment:

0Ð255

¥The intensity is individually adjusted and stored for each objective and contrast method.

¥FLUO: The intensity can be adjusted in 5 fixed levels.

100% / 55% / 30% / 17% / 10% (FIM=Fluorescence Intensity Manager)
