7.4 The Function Keys at the stand
There is a row of function keys both on the right
and left side of the stand. Some of these keys
are defined, and some of them are variable. The
variable function keys have various meanings
depending on the microscope configuration.
Defined Function Keys on the left side of the
stand
The TL/IL key (43.1) switches between incident
light and transmitted light. The last contrast
method used is restored.
The INT (43.3) keys adjust the light intensity indi-
vidually. Settings can be made either in large or
small increments. Pushing both INT buttons at
the same time switches between coarse and
fine setting. If the fine setting has been selected,
the display indicates „Intensity fine".
The AP (43.2) keys for the aperture diaphragm
and FD (43.4) for the field diaphragm are used
to open/close each diaphragm.
Note:
Changes in light intensity and settings of aper-
ture and field diaphragms are stored for the cur-
rent objective and contrasting method.

Variable Function Keys at the stand
A factory preset is performed which fits your
microscope configuration. The function keys are
labeled accordingly, and a separate description
of the key occupation accompanies the micro-
scope ("Identification Sheet").
Abbreviations are listed on p. 42f.
Note:
The setting of the variable function keys can
only be altered via the Software Leica
Application Suite, module: Set-up.
