[. . . ] 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. 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. [. . . ] Connect the Leica LED3000 NVITM to the focusing column via the CTL2 connection if the focusing column is equipped with integrated electronics. Connect the external power supply unit (10 450 266) to the Leica LED3000 NVITM. Place the Leica LED3000 NVITM on the objective from below and tighten the locking screw. diameter of 58 mm. with any objectives that have an outer The Leica LED 3000 NVITM can be used between 50 mm and 150 mm.

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. 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. 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 A / Z16 APO A 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.
