7.1 Functional Principle (Leica DMI4000B and Leica DMI6000B)
1. Intelligent automation
Switching between contrast methods at the touch of a button. Light rings, DIC prisms, etc.
are automatically positioned in the beam path.
The microscope recognizes the selected objective and associated contrast method.
The intensity (INT), aperture diaphragm (AP) and field diaphragm (FD) are always set to
suitable values.
the INT, AP and FD values are always based on the currently activated illumination axis
(transmitted light or incident light).
The INT, AP and FD values can be adjusted individually. Manual adjustments overwrite the
previous settings. The current setting is stored and is retained from one session to the next
when power is switched off.
2. Controls
SmartMove knobs
for stage and focus control
Fixed function buttons on stand
for INT, AP and FD, as well as for switching between transmitted-light and incident-light
axis
•Variable function buttons on stand and SmartMove
These function buttons have functions suitable to the configuration of your microscope as-
signed to them at the factory. The functions can be reprogrammed and/or adapted to your
specific requirements, however.
