manual for all products from Leica Microsystems

(Switzerland) in the current EU languages. User

manuals and updates are also available for you

to download and print from our web site at

www.stereomicroscopy.com. The following

user manuals are important for your

Leica FluoCombi III™:

– M2-166-2 Leica FluoCombi III™: It describes the

the motorized focusing

Read the user manuals listed

above before the startup procedure.

In particular, please follow the safety

instructions.

instructions and warnings contained in these user

manuals.

1.1.1 Diagrams

Pages 3 and 4 contain figures showing the

Leica FluoCombi III™ with the function elements.

Numbers in parentheses within the descriptions

refer to the number of the figure and the items in

the figure.

Example (1.4): Figure 1is located on page 3, and

the item 4is the insert for dichroic mirrors.

1.2 Description

Leica FluoCombi III™ is an accessory for the Leica

MZ16 F, MZ16 FA fluorescence stereomicroscopes

and allows for quickly switching between a stereo

objective and an HR (High Resolution) micro

objective. In stereo mode, the 1×plan and planapo

objectives offer generous viewing fields, large

working distances and an excellent depth of field

for manipulating and dissecting.

Micro mode allows for exactly identifying the

finest fluorescent features at a microscopic reso-

lution of 1500 pairs of lines/mm. The zoom is also

effective in micro mode so that the magnification

measures 460×using the 5×HR objective. Using

16×eyepieces results in a maximum magnification

of 736×. The comfortable binocular observation is

ensured in stereo and micro mode.

MZ16 F and MZ16 FA are high-performance stereo-

microscopes for fluorescence applications. The

patented, separate TripleBeam™ light path for

fluorescence illumination and the patented

FLUOIII™ filter system provide highest-quality

fluorescence images. Every existing instrument

can be fitted with the Leica FluoCombi III™ in a

few simple steps.

2.5 Focusing stop

The focusing stop is used for safety

purposes and must always be correctly set with

respect to the micro objective.

Fasten the focusing stop (8.2) to the column

with the clamping screw (8.3).

Set the focusing stop at a height so that

the micro objective can never hit the stand or

table surface or the object during focusing and

swinging. Working distance 5×HR objective:

19mm, 20×HR objective 13mm.

With a correctly set focusing stop, the two

stops prevent focusing too low, either manually or

motorized.

If the focusing stop is set too low

– the objective could be damaged.

– the object could be crushed or damaged.

– if the lowest focus position is approached too

quickly using the motor focus, the fingers of the

operator could be pinched between objective

and object.

2.4 Column with focusing drive ➜base of

stand

First, attach the column adapter between stand

column and base. It is used to ensure that the

center of the objective lies exactly over the center

of the stage.

Fasten the column adapter (8.1) with the

3 hexagon-head screws on the column.

Fasten the column with the column adapter on

the stand base according to the operating

instructions M2-105-0.
