Fewer cables

The Electronics: Comfort, Convenience and Safety for your Experiments

Never before have electronics been used as extensively in a Leica series as in the new M series lineup. Optics carrier, tripod, base and illuminator are all connected using electrical contacts—which provides a number of advan- tages.

A large part of the cables have been routed in the interior of the column. Data are also trans- ferred via the interface between the column, the optics carrier and the carrier. The direct result is that you need fewer cables—this not only makes your workstation neater and more comfortable, it even makes it appear larger.

Contacts not only transmit data, but also supply the power.
