Transmitted-light Base TL ST Operation, Bright field | Leica M165 C

Transmitted-light Base TL ST: Operation

Light intensity control

The left control adjusts the intensity of the 12 V/20 W halogen illumination.

1.Switch on the illumination of the base at the power switch.

3. Focus on the specimen.

3.Set the illumination to the desired intensity using the left control.

Transmitted-light control

The transmitted-light base TL BFDF has a slider that automatically moves the deflection mirror in the base when moved. The mirror is kept in the correct position at all times and permits smooth changeover between bright field and opaque transmitted light.

Bright field

Bright field is suitable for examining translu- cent objects featuring contrasting structures. The object is directly illuminated from below and is seen in its natural colors against a bright background.

★★ Move the slider backwards until the desired effect is achieved.

Inclined transmitted light

Transmitted light that traverses the object obliquely will produce effects advantageous for observing semitransparent, opaque objects.

★★ Slowly pull the slider towards yourself until the desired effect is achieved.
