1 1 General user information Leica DM LB research microscope is onl y for th e Molecular Canc er Biology (MCBP) and Genome-scale Biology (GSB ) r esearch p rograms internal us e. It i s a transmitted light microscope that cannot be used for fluorescence microscop y .
2 movement in y -direction (back and forth), lower in x -direction (side to side). If you need to rotate the stage to get the image in any wanted angle, open the rotation lock by unscrewing it and th en rotating the stage by ha nd (circle in Figure 2).

4 The fine focus has two modes: when the left focus wheel is pulled out, each l ine on the wheel equals 1 µ m of movement. When it is pushed in, each line equals 4 µ m of movement.
5 Figure 7. Dual viewing a ttachment Figure 8. Power source for the light pointer There is a light poin ter i n the viewing att achment that uses an external power sourc e. Thus, y ou need to connect the transformer into a power outlet b efore using the pointer (Figure 8).
6 Figure 9. Light pointer controls 2.8 Koehler illumination Koehler ill umination needs to be adjusted in the beginning of ever y imagi ng session for optimal illumination. Proceed as follows: Instruction View in eyepiece 1. Use 10x objective and front lens.
7 Instruction View in eyepiece 4. Center the diaphragm i n the field of view by r otating the condenser a djusti ng screws. In other words, you adjust the illuminating path so that it is pr operly aligned along the optical axis of the microscope.
