Transmitted-light stand HL

Column Base The column seat contains Allen screws.

￿Remove the glass stage plate.

￿Invert the transmitted-light base and place it on a table.

￿Hold column against the column seat from underneath.

￿Insert the Allen screws into the column from the top and tighten them.

￿Invert the transmitted-light base and insert the glass stage plate.

￿Fit additional components such as the microscope carrier and optics carrier (page 34).

Illumination Add a very luminous cold light source and a light guide with a channel to the transmitted-light stand (TVC, active 9 mm).

￿Insert light guide into the base at the rear.

￿Connect light guide to the light source.

Accessory condenser For stereomicroscopes with high apertures such as Leica

Basis MZ125, MZ16 and MZ16 A with objective 1.6, the resolution can be increased by inserting an accessory condenser.

￿Push the accessory condenser into the lens holder at the underside of the transmitted-light base and secure it with 2 Allen screws.

Use ￿ Turn on the light source according to the manufacturer’s user manual and adjust the light intensity.

￿Place a transparent object on the glass stage plate and focus.

Tilted mirror The built-in mirror features a clear and an obscured side and can be rotated and moved. The obscured side provides a dif- fused illumination. The angle of incidence in the specimen plane changes depending on the position of the mirror so that the transmitted light bright field via oblique illumination can also generate an illumination similar to dark field.

￿Rotate and move the mirror with the black rotary knob on the right side.

￿Adjust exact bright field and maximum illumination: move mirror to the stand column until it stops.

Rotate the mirror until it engages in the 45° position.

Transmitted-light stand Detailed information about setup, operation and use can be HL-RC™found in the separate instructions for use M2-216-2.
