Leica M205 FA user manual Reliability for your experiments, 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, stand, base and illuminator are all connected using electrical contacts—which provides a number of advan- tages.

Reliability for your experiments

Exact reproducibility of results is an increas- ingly common demand, particularly in research and development. The continuous encoding captures parameters such as the magnifica- tion, the illumination, the position of the iris

diaphragm and more and transmits the infor- mation to the Leica LAS software. Thus you always know the conditions under which an image was acquired.

Fewer cables

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.

Leica Application Suite (LAS) evaluates the transmitted data and can restore the test situa- tion later.
