7.1 Functional Principle (Leica DMI4000 B and Leica DMI6000 B)

Thanks to its intelligent automation, the Leica DMI4000B and DMI6000B can be controlled using a variety of control elements.

1.Intelligent automation

¥Switching between contrast methods at the touch of a button. Light rings, DIC prisms, etc. are automatically positioned in the beam path.

¥The microscope recognizes the selected objective and associated contrast method.

The intensity (INT), aperture diaphragm (AP) and field diaphragm (FD) are always set to suitable values.

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

¥The INT, AP and FD values can be adjusted individually. Manual adjustments overwrite the previous settings. The current setting is stored and is retained from one session to the next when power is switched off.

2.Controls

¥SmartMove knobs

for stage and focus control

¥Fixed function buttons on stand

for INT, AP and FD, as well as for switching between transmitted-light and incident-light axis

¥Variable function buttons on stand and SmartMove

These function buttons have functions suitable to the configuration of your microscope as- signed to them at the factory. The functions can be reprogrammed and/or adapted to your specific requirements, however.

¥Complete control of microscope and camera via software (Leica Application Suite (LAS))
