Inserting the photoeyepieces*
The HC PLAN observation eyepieces (slot-in
diameter 30 mm) are designed for direct visual
observation. For the adaption of photo-micro-
graphic equipment with a fixed magnification
factor, e. g. DM LD and MPS systems, and for
special TV adaption systems, special eyepieces
with a slot-in diameter of 27 mm and the
engraving HC...PHOTO are used (note the
adapter!)
See special manual for further details on
adapting photo and video equipment.
Screwing objectives in and out
For the electronic version of the microscope, the
DM IRB/E, the objectives are screwed in during
the initial installation (see relevant chapter). For
the manual version, proceed as follows:
Remove the screw covers from the objective
threads.
Screw the objectives into the openings in the
eyepiece so that the magnification can be
changed in steps (e.g. in the order 4, 10, 20, 40).
If any positions remain unoccupied, close them
with a screw cover to prevent dust penetrating
the microscope optics.
Please note that the front lenses of the
objectives point upwards and are therefore
more exposed to contamination than those on
upright microscopes.
Therefore check fairly frequently that the front
lens is clean.
A constantly updated optics sheet outlines the
current range of objectives that can be used on
the DM IRB/E. Ask your Leica agency for a copy.
Assembling the stages, the plane stage and
object guide
Plane stage
The plane stage is fixed to the microscope with
3 screws (48.4). The object guide can be
mounted to either the right or the left of the
plane stage (48.2).
