Leica TL ST

Overview

Variable light guide depending on the specimen

Operating a transmitted-light base can be so simple: you have a potentiometer available for setting the brightness. The mirror guiding the light through the specimen at different angles can glide across the horizontal plane. The tilt angle of the mirror is then automatically aligned.

In this way you have full control of the transmitted light without having to spend a great deal of time looking for the optimum transmitted-light angle.

The novel halogen lamp deserves a closer look and is particularly efficient - with a capacity of only 20 W it reaches the light utilization of the normal 35 W lamps. The heating effect is noticeably reduced, which is a particular benefit for temperature-sensitive samples.
