Equipping the Filter Changer

•When inserting the filter sets, avoid touching the filters in order to avoid

fingerprints. Clean dirty filters immediately using a soft, lint-free cloth and pure alcohol.

Removing the simple filter holder

The Leica M165 FC and the Leica M205FA are equipped at the factory with simple filter hold- ers as "dummies". These must be removed before inserting a filter.

1.Grasp the recess of the dummy in the filter changer and pull it out.

Inserting the filter

1. Place the filter into the filter changer.

Ensure that the contour of the filter holder matches the contour of the microscope.

2.Rotate the filter changer by hand until it latches into place.

If the filter holder has not been inserted correctly, the filter changer does not rotate.

3. Insert a total of four filters.

Slot for filter slide

There is a slot in the filter changer system for an individually selectable filter, for example a neutral density filter.
