User manual LEICA Z6 APO A

[. . . ] Leica Z6 APO A Leica Z16 APO A User Manual General Instructions Safety Concept Before using your macroscope for the first time, please read the "Safety Concept" brochure included with your instrument. It contains additional information about handling and care. Use in clean rooms The Leica Z series can be used in clean rooms without any problems. Cleaning Do not use any unsuitable cleaning agents, chemicals or techniques for cleaning. [. . . ] Tighten the screw of the limit stop. Injuries when manipulating the specimen because the fingers or hand get pinched. Accidental contact between the objective and the specimen, and potential resulting damage. Readjusting the motorized focus The motorized focus is factory-adjusted and normally does not need to be readjusted-- even if the maximum travel path is changed. Exception: If the power fails while the motorized focus is moving, the position data are lost. In this case, the calibration must be repeated using the Leica LAS software or the Leica SmartTouchTM. To do so, please consult the respective manual.

The magnification factor is between 10× and 40×. The following eyepieces are available for the Z series: Magnification 10× 16× 25× 40× Dioptric Correction ± 5 diopter settings ± 5 diopter settings ± 5 diopter settings ± 5 diopter settings Order number 10 450 023 10 450 024 10 450 025 10 450 026 Leica Z6 APO A / Z16 APO A User Manual 50 Using the Eyepieces The eyepieces form the connection between the tube and the eye of the observer. Simply push them into the tube and they are ready to use. Each eyepiece offers a certain magnification factor that has a determinative effect on the total magnification. Furthermore, all Leica eyepieces can be equipped with practical graticules that enable measuring and quantifying of specimens. Dioptric Correction A built-in dioptric correction is available for eyeglass wearers. If an eyepiece is equipped with the integrated dioptric correction, turn the value to the "0" mark. If an eyepiece is equipped with the integrated dioptric correction, turn the value to the "0" mark. By the way, one benefit of viewing with eyeglasses is a drastically lower risk of bacterial transmission (see page 53). The soft material of the eyecup also ensures that your glasses will not be scratched, even if they contact the eyepiece. Hold the eyepiece firmly and rotate the eyecups forwards counterclockwise. Hold the eyepiece firmly and rotate the eyecups clockwise towards the rear, as otherwise the viewing distance is too great. Leica Z6 APO A / Z16 APO A User Manual 51 The Correct Interpupillary Distance The interpupillary distance is correctly set if you see a single circular image field when looking at a specimen. If you are still a novice macroscope user, you may need a short time to become accustomed to this.
