Use

The Leica LED5000 MCI™ (for "Multi Contrast

Illumination") is a universal high-output illu-

minator. Three groups of 3 LEDs each can be

arranged as desired around the specimen. The

targeted control of the LEDs enables various

illumination scenarios to be implemented.

Preparation

Hold the MCI with both hands and pull it down-

wards until the illuminator clicks into place on

the bottom end of the guide rods.

In this position, you always have the same

contrast with identical illumination. This guar-

antees the reproducibility of an experiment.

Contact with the base



If the optics carriers are accidentally

lowered too far, contact between the

base and MCI may result. A safety mechanism

in the linkage ensures that in this case, the MCI

is automatically pushed upwards to prevent the

possibility of damage.

Be sure not to place any specimens directly ★

beneath the MCI.

After the optics carrier is lifted, put the MCI ★

back into the original position.
