Controls And Functions - Leica M-Series User Manual

Overview
Standard outfit: Controls and functions
In this overview
we explain the controls and functions relating to the standard
outfits.
Does your stereomicroscope look different from the one
in the picture?
The modular design enables you to assemble an outfit matched
to the application. Controls and functions which differ from
those in the standard outfit are described in the appropriate
section (see contents list on page 2).
