Adapters for stereomicroscopes and for stand-alone
operation.
Four adapters are available for connecting the Leica L2
fibre-optic light source to various stereomicroscope
stands and for stand-alone operation.
When in use, the Leica L2 fibre-optic light source must
always be locked into an adapter to ensure stability
(page 8).
To remove the light source from the
adapter, press the two spring flaps
at the back of the light-source
housing together and pull the light
source out of the bracket. Handling
the spring flaps improperly can
cause them to break off.
Using the short fork, clamp the
adapter to the focus column.
Using the mounting rail, slide
the fibre-optic light source
into the long adapter fork until
it engages.
To remove the adapter from the
focusing column, first remove the
light source as described above.
Then press the two fork ends of the
adapter apart a little, until it is easy
to pull out.
