Leica MS5 Microscope & Magnifier User Manual


 
Tubes
All accessory tubes which fit between the optics carrier and
the binocular tube are fitted in the same manner.
In the dovetail ring of the optics carrier is a locating screw
which must engage the notch in the accessory (page 35).
This is best accomplished by moving the accessory slightly
from side to side.
̈ Release the clamping screw.
̈ Insert the accessory tube into the dove-
tail ring in the same manner as the binoc-
ular tube (page 35) and move it slightly
from side to side until the locating screw
engages the notch.
̈ Retighten the clamping screw.
̈ Fit the binocular tube on the accessory
tube in the same manner.
Double-iris diaphragm
A double-iris diaphragm is built into the MZ16 and MZ16 A. It is
operated by means of a knurled ring. A separate double-iris
diaphragm is available as accessory for the other instruments.
The double-iris diaphragm for MS5–MZ12
5
can be inserted between optics carrier and
binocular tube or video/phototube.
Set the lever to OPEN: The double-iris
diaphragm (aperture diaphragm) is open.
The depth of field increases as the lever
is moved from OPEN to 1. Remember,
however, that
brightness decreases, so exposure times become longer
resolution deteriorates.
