The E version DM IRB/E
Features of the Leica DM IRB/E
The Leica DM IRB/E offers the following addi-
tional functions:
– Motorised, sextuple objective nosepiece
– Electronic focusing
– Coding of the IC objective prisms*
– Motorised fluorescence filter cube change
with electrically operated dark flap*
– Control panel for remote control of the
microscope components*
– Footswitch* (in connection with control panel
or DM STC stage drive)
– LC display of microscope functions.
This manual applies to the Leica DM IRB/E
inverted research microscope with Eprom
version numbers:
Master (M)
2.40
Nosepiece (R)
2.30
Z drive (Z)
2.40
Deviations will therefore naturally occur for
previous or subsequent versions.
* The EPROM version number is displayed by simultaneously
pressing the “LEARN“ and “CHANGE“ keys (Fig. 53b), and
by pressing the “CHANGE” key afterwards the 3 EPROMS
can be read out in succession.
For users who want to program the Leica
DM IRB/E microscope themselves, a free
software development kit called “Leica SDK“ is
available for Windows 3.11, Windows 95 and
Windows NT on request.
Important note:
Before using a brand new Leica DM IRB/E
microscope for the first time, an initial
installation has to be carried out.
Function and operation
Straight after the Leica DM IRB/E microscope is
switched on, the system will be initialised. This
takes a few seconds. A message to this effect
will appear in the LC display on the front of the
microscope.
