Setting the illumination field diameter
Caution 7
Heating of tissue!
If the illumination field diameter is larger than the
visual field and the light intensity is set too high, uncon-
trolled heating of tissue can occur outside the visible
range of the microscope.
➩Do not set the light intensity too high.
The light field diameter is automatically adapted to the size of
the visual field at the Leica M525 optical carrier. The
illumination field diameter can also be adjusted manually with
rotary button (2). Automatic adjustment can be deactivated with
the rotary button and reactivated with the Reset button (1).

If the illumination field diameter is blocked at a high
light intensity in a high zoom setting, and cannot be
adjusted automatically or manually, then the light
intensity must be reduced in order to protect the tissue.
If the illumination field diameter remains blocked in a
low zoom setting, and cannot be adjusted
automatically or manually, then an OP lamp can be
used for better illumination of a large visual field (low
zoom setting).
