Microscope Carrier AX, Compatibility | Leica M205 A, M165 C, M205 C

The Microscope Carrier AX

Users who intend to do a great deal of photog- raphy, take measurements or work with polar- ization should select the microscope carrier AX for stereoscopic/axial observation. The parallax- free imaging by means of a perpendicular beam path leads to results without parallax error.

Compatibility

The planachromatic and planapochromatic objectives fit into the thread in the microscope carrier AX for the Leica M125, Leica 165 C and the Leica M205 C.

Stereoscopic viewing

A stereoscopic view is required for examining spatial objects. For this purpose, the micro- scope carrier AX must be brought to its home position.

1. Unscrew the clamping screw.

2.Push the microscope into the home posi- tion (mid position) to obtain a spatial view and tighten the clamping screw.
