Safety regulations
Workplaces with stereomicroscopes facilitate and improve the
viewing task, but they also impose high demands on the eyes
and holding muscles of the user. Dependent upon the duration
of uninterrupted activity, this may lead to asthenic trouble and
muscular-skeletal pain so that suitable measures must be taken
to reduce the strain:
– perfect design of workplace, work content and work process
(frequently changing activities).
– detailed introduction of the personnel while considering
ergonomic and organizational work-related aspects.
The ergonomic optics concept and the design of the
Leica S series aim at limiting the strain on the user to the
lowest possible level.
Direct contact with eyepieces can be a potential transmission
path for bacterial and viral infections of the eye. Users should
be made aware of the potential risk of infection. The risk can be
kept at a minimum by using individual eyepieces or attachable
eyecups (see p. 17).
Electrically operated equipment
Liquids Handle liquids carefully.
Liquids spilt on the instrument
–
can cause the stereomicroscope and other equipment to
become electrically live and injure persons,
–
can cause damage to the instrument.
Mains cable
Cable routing
Check regularly to ensure that the mains cable is
undamaged and avoid jerking or pulling the cable hard.
Faulty mains cables
•
•
can injure persons,
can cause the stereomicroscope and other equipment to
become electrically live and injure persons.
Ensure the cable is not in a position where someone could
accidentally catch it, otherwise the instrument could tip
over and fall, damaging itself or other equipment, or injuring
people nearby.
Opening the Electrical equipment may only be repaired by authorized
Leica personnel.

Description
®
Greenough The optical system of the Leica StereoZoom line con-
optical system sists of two beam paths converging at 12°. Since the
pairs of objectives are very close together, the stereo-
microscopes can be constructed very “slim” towards
the base. This has a number of advantages: less space
required for use on bonders and machines, unimpeded
working on the object, plenty of room for tools, free view
of the object field.
The Greenough system provides a low-cost solution for
correcting aberrations such as chromatism, curvature of
the field of view and distortion. On the new Leica Stereo-
®
Zoom line the optimally corrected centre of the objec-
tive is used for the image. This results in excellent
optical performance with large, flat, distortion-free fields
of vision and high-contrast images with maximum
chromatic correction.
Protection The Leica S4 E, S6 E, S6, S6 D and S8 APO stereomicro-
against ESD scopes including cold-light source and stand are made of
11
antistatic material with a surface resistance of 2×10
ohm/square and a discharge time from 1000V to 100V of
under 2 seconds.
The Leica S6 T Terminator for problematical work areas
and the T incident-light stand are made of antistatic ma-
2
6
terial with a surface resistance of 10 –10 ohm/square
and a discharge time from 1000V to zero of under
0.1 seconds.
®
Photography The Leica StereoZoom S6 D and S8 APO models are
equipped with a built-in video/photo tube that allows for
simple, quick setting up of digital, film and analog video
cameras.

®
World first Leica StereoZoom S8 APO is the first stereomicroscope
on the market with completely apochromatic corrected
Greenough system. Apochromatic optics corrects per-
fectly chromatic aberrations, eliminates interfering color
fringes and renders even the finest details ultra sharp.
Contrast, brilliance, sharpness, resolution, color fidelity
and reproduction accuracy are unsurpassed. The advan-
tage of apochromatic correction is best observed in
objects that have fine, low-contrast structures such as
large animal cells, cilia plants or metallic microelectronic
structures.

Diopter adjustment If you adjust the diopters at the adjustable eyepiece as
and setting described below, the focus will remain constant, or par-
parfocality focal, from minimum to maximum magnification. In other
words, you will not have to refocus when you change
magnification, but only when you want to examine a
higher- or lower-positioned object segment. Make full
use of this feature, which is not available on every stereo
microscope.
•
Diopter adjustment is possible within a range
from +5 to –5.
Every user has to make the following adjustments
only once.
If you are using a graticule, the diopter adjustment and
parfocality setting procedure is slightly different to that
described here. Please refer to the section on measure-
ment in the graticule user manuals.
Setting up diopter with an adjustable and a fixed
eyepiece
Preparations ̈ Set up illuminator.
̈ Set interpupillary distance (p.23).
̈ Set approximate working distance using the focusing
drive (see p.38–40 for the working distances of the
various objectives).
Bring the test ̈ Position a flat test object
