Light Manager Mode: SMART
In SMART mode, the Light Manager automatically calculates the optimum brightness for a specific
contrast method for all objectives specified via the TFT display (or the MTB 2004).
If a motorized filter wheel with neutral-density filters is in the transmitted-light path, the color
temperature is kept constant through the available filters.
The lamp voltage will be readjusted only, if it is impossible to achieve the optimum illumination through
the neutral-density filters. The computed values are automatically stored in the temporary memory of the
microscope.
Like in CLASSIC mode, the values can be stored permanently by pushing the
LM-Set
button on the back
right of the stand.
In SMART mode, the operator can vary lamp intensity and attenuation by neutral-density filters by ±60%
for every magnification without recalculation being performed for the complete magnification range.
Any additionally installed coded or motorized microscope components (tube lens turret and Optovar
modules in reflector turret) will also be considered for computing the brightness.
