Stages
The ∅ 120 mm stages can be used in those incident and trans-
mitted-light stands which have a ∅ 120 mm port.
The gliding stage can be moved in all directions and
rotated completely.
̈ Place the ∅ 120 mm gliding stage in
the ∅ 120 mm port and secure it with
the eccentric lever.
̈ Insert the ∅ 120 mm glass stage plate or
the black/white stage plate.
• The cup stage can be inclined as required.
• You can secure objects to its rubberized upper
surface with needles.
• The movable holder accepts petri dishes.
̈ Place the ∅ 120 mm
support ring in the
∅ 120 mm port.
̈ Place the cup stage on it.
The Leica MATS thermocontrol system is a heating system for
microscopes and stereomicroscopes. Leica MATS allows the
observation of temperature-sensitive specimens and living cells
in biology, medicine and pharmaceutics under exact tempera-
ture conditions.
For details see M2-227-0 instructions for use.
Polarization, transmitted light
The analyzer, in combination with either the rotatable polariza-
tion stage or the polarizer on glass stage plate, enables double-
refracting materials to be studied. These can include organic
crystals, mineral grains, thin sections of rock or bone, polymers,
stressed glass, and liquid crystals.
A detailed description can be found
in the user manual M2-277.
