User manual LEICA Z6 APO

[. . . ] Leica Z6 APO Leica Z16 APO User Manual General Instructions Safety Concept Before using your macroscope for the first time, please read the "Safety Concept" brochure included with your instrument. 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. Never use chemicals to clean colored surfaces or accessories with rubberized parts. [. . . ] 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. 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. 2. If an eyepiece is equipped with the integrated dioptric correction, turn the value to the "0" mark. 2. 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 55). The soft material of the eyecup also ensures that your glasses will not be scratched, even if they contact the eyepiece. Leica Z6 APO / Z16 APO 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. Reference value The distance between eye and eyepiece measures approx. Push the eyepieces together or separate them until you see a circular image. Slowly approach the eyepieces with your eyes until you can see the complete image field without corner cutting. Leica Z6 APO / Z16 APO User Manual 52 Dioptric Correction Leica macroscopes are parfocally matched. The following adjustments only have to be carried out once by each user. Therefore, all Leica eyepieces are also available with built-in dioptric correction, allowing the macroscope to be used without glasses even by those with vision problems. Set the dioptric correction of both eyepieces to the mid position ("0" diopter settings). Hold one eye closed and rotate the other eyepiece in the "-" direction until the specimen appears sharp. Then, open the other eye and correct the diopter settings until the image is uniformly sharp. Now, if you adjust the magnification from the lowest to the highest level, the specimen is always brought into sharp focus. The system is now parfocally matched to your eyes. Leica Z6 APO / Z16 APO User Manual 53 Reticules Use Leica reticules make length measurements and counting easier, particularly for workstations that are not equipped with a digital camera and LAS software. The Leica reticules for length measurements and numbering are fitted in mounts and are inserted into the eyepieces. You can now align the reticule by rotating the eyepiece in the tube and then tightening it using the clamping screw. 3. Screw the insert and reticule firmly into place and replace the eyepiece in the tube. Leica Z6 APO / Z16 APO User Manual 54 Health Notes Potential sources of infection Direct contact with eyepieces is a potential transmission method for bacterial and viral infections of the eye.
