3.1 Starting up
We recommend that you familiarize your-
self with the operation of your Leica MacroFluo™
systems, such as adjusting the parfocality, zoom,
focusing drive, eyebase, etc. in transmitted light
and to experiment with it.
If you switch on the supply unit for the high-pres-
sure mercury lamp, the burner must be adjusted
immediately according to operating instructions
M2-216-1.
When switching on electrical accessories,
observe the safety instructions.
Observe the power supply voltage and fuses.
3.1.1 Transmitted light or incident light
observation
Activate transmitted or incident illumination at
the light source.
Detailed information about the operation of the
transmitted-light stand or the incident illumination
is located in the corresponding operating instruc-
tions.
If the fluorescence illumination is activated at the
supply unit and adjusted:
Switch filter turret (14.1) to an empty position or
close the light stop (14.4) (Fig. 14 see p. 24).
3.1.2 Incident light fluorescence
Detailed information about the operation of the
supply unit and the lamp housing is located in the
corresponding operating instructions. Adjust the
burner according to the operating instructions
M2-216-1.
For operation of the incident light fluorescence
illuminator, see ch. 3.8
Activate the lamp housing for the incident light
fluorescence illuminator at the supply unit and
adjust the burner.
3.1.3 Disconnecting from the power supply
Unplug all the power cables from the power
supply.
3.2 Trinocular tube HC L3TP 4/5/7
– Observation and photo beam path are switch-
able in three positions.
– The eyebase is adjustable from 55 to 75mm.
Switching positions:
Vis: 50% in both eyepieces for binocular
observation
50/50: 50% for photography and 50% for
observation through an eyepiece
Photo: 100% for photography
Fig. 11 see p. 20
Adjust the positions by moving the push rod
(11.1).
Eyebase: Set push rod (11.1) to position Vis.
