Attachment for vertical and oblique observation
• The attachment for vertical and oblique observation enables
spatial objects to be observed from above, and also from all
around at an angle of 45°.
• The microscope carrier must be fitted in the lower
position 1 (page 34).
• For MS5, MZ6: Fit the 1× achromatic objective by screwing
its adapter ring directly into the optics carrier.
• Spacer rings are required for the Leica
MZ7
5, MZ95, MZ125 and MZ16 to secure
the attachment for vertical and oblique
observation to the optics carrier (page 32).
• Only usable with 1× achromatic objec-
tive.
A detailed description can be found in the
user manual M2-266.
Graticules
• The graticules for length measurements and numbering are
fitted in mounts and can be inserted into the eyepieces.
• A special measuring graticule is available for the Leica MZ16
A (see the user manual M2-116).
• A high-precision object micrometer with 50-mm scale,
0.1 mm and 0.01 mm graduation, allows for calibration
corresponding to the selected magnification.
• Preferably measure with the microscope carrier AX in
vertical position. The measurements are more accurate with-
out the convergence angle in the stereoscopic image.
• Graticules show boundary lines for all film formats.
̈ Unscrew the insert at the knurled ring.
̈ Clamp the graticule onto the insert with
a little bit of pressure. Check for correct
seating!
̈ Tighten the insert with graticule.
̈ Insert the eyepiece.
̈ Look into the eyepiece: Align the gratic-
ule by turning the eyepiece in the tube
and tighten the clamping screw.
A detailed description can be found in the
user manual M2-275.
