Leica M-series User Manual 15
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.
