Use
Microscope carrier: Turn optics carrier sideways,
stereoscopic / axial observation
Microscope carrier for stereoscopic observation
This microscope carrier permits only stereoscopic observation,
using both beam paths.
•
The optics carrier can be turned sideways in the microscope
carrier if the user needs to work from the side:
The microscope carrier can be attached to the focusing drive in
either of two positions:
1
2
For assembly, refer to page 18.
12
Release the clamping screw.
Turn the optics carrier sideways
as required.
Retighten the clamping screw.
•
For short working distances and
for flat objects, use Position 1.
Use this position also in con-
junction with the attachment for
vertical and oblique observation
(see detailed instructions).
•
Use Position 2 for long working
distances and for bulky objects.
Microscope carrier AX
The stereomicroscopes can be equipped with the microscope
carrier AX for stereoscopic and axial observation instead of the
standard microscope carrier.
•
The microscope carrier cannot be turned sideways when in
the microscope carrier AX (see page 24).
•
The microscope carrier AX can only be fitted in one position
to the focusing drive (see page 18).
For the Leica MZ12
and Leica MZAPO, use the spacer ring
5
(page 16).
Stereoscopic observation
A three-dimensional image is essential for studying and working
on spatial objects.
Shift the stereomicroscope to the central position.
Axial observation
The parallax-free imaging produces more precise results in
photography, measuring and polarization.
Adjusting the dioptric settings and the parfocality
You must adjust the dioptric settings for both eyes
exactly as described on page 13. Only then will the
image be parfocal, i.e. it will remain sharp whenever
the magnification is changed and there will be no need
to refocus. Make the most of this opportunity, which is
not offered by every stereomicroscope.
Shift the stereomicroscope to
the left or the right position. The
object is now located directly
beneath either the left or the
right beam path.
•
When photographing or measur-
ing, select the beam path above
which the phototube or measur-
ing graticule is located.
•
The dioptric range is from
+5 to –5.
