Lamphousing performance data
Lamphousing 106*
Lamphousing 106 is equipped with a 12 V 100 W
halogen lamp. The lamp holder is centrable in x
and y direction. The aspherical collector can be
focused. Lamphousing 106 is fitted with a
diffusing disc and heat protection filter, but does
not have a reflector.
Lamphousing 106 z*
Like lamphousing 106, but additionally with
centrable and focusable reflector and 4- to 6-
lens collector. A quartz collector is available on
request. The following lamps can be used (each
have their own holder):
12 V/100 W halogen lamp (A.C.)
Ultra high pressure 50 W Hg lamp (A.C.)
Ultra high pressure 100 W Hg lamp
(D.C. stabilised/non-stabilised)
Ultra high pressure 100 W Hg lamp
(D.C. stabilised/non-stabilised, type 103 W/2)
High pressure 75 W xenon lamp
(D.C. stabilised/non-stabilised).
Lamphousing 107/2
The shield connection of the lamphousing is
screwed to the potential equalisation point of
the 12 V 100 W power unit. This lamphousing for
transmitted and incident light has a fixed 1-lens
collector and a fixed 12 V 100 W lamp.
n. b.
Lamphousings LH 105 have been replaced by
lamphousings LH 106. However, they are
compatible with LH 106 lamphousings and can
also be used.

Stages
Plane stage and mountable object guide
The plane stage is secured to the microscope
with 3 screws. The object guide can be mounted
to either the right or the left of the plane stage.
3-plate x/y stage
To attach the stage, 3 screw holes first have to
be accessed by moving the stage in x/y direc-
tion.
Rotary stage and frame insert for coverslips
The rotary stage is secured with 3 screws. Move
the rotary mount to gain access to all the screw
holes. Put the screws in the holes.
n. b. Use washers as well for the holes at the
back. Only screw the screws in lightly, as the
rotary stage first has to be centred: to do this,
insert the centring aid in the rotary stage.
Engage the Bertrand lens by turning the knurl
and focus with the lever. Move the stage until
the bright circle is in the centre of the field of
view. Then fix the stage in position, disengage
the Bertrand lens and remove the centring aid.
To secure specimen slides in frame inserts,
press the middle of the leaf spring and slide in
the coverslip in the direction of the arrow. Clamp
the frame insert in the object guide.
Performance data of the incident light
fluorescence illumination*
The Leica DM IRB microscope is preferably
equipped with mercury or xenon gas discharge
lamps for fluorescence applications as they
offer higher intensity. However, a 12 V 100 W
halogen lamp can be used as well.
