Leica StereoZoom User Manual
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
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.
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.
Electrical equipment may only be repaired by authorized Leica personnel. Disconnect the mains cable before opening the instrument. Touching the open instrument when voltage is applied may result in injury.

The optical system of the Leica StereoZoom®line con­sists of two beam paths converging at 12°. Since the pairs of objectives are very close together, the stereo­microscopes 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 Stereo­Zoom®line the optimally corrected centre of the objec­tive 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.
The Leica S4 E, S6 E, S6, S6 D and S8 APO stereomicro­scopes including cold-light source and stand are made of antistatic material with a surface resistance of 2×10
11
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 ma­terial with a surface resistance of 102–106ohm/square and a discharge time from 1000V to zero of under
0.1 seconds.
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.

All StereoZoom
®
models are equipped with a continuously adjustable magnification changer that can be operated with either the right or left hand. The right-hand pinion knob carries a magnification scale. The ranges are: – 0.63 to 3 on the S4 E and – 0.63 to 4 on the S6 models – for S8 APO from 1 to 8
The tables on pages 38 to 40 list the magnifications and field diameters as a function of magnification changer position and the eyepiece/objective combination being used.
왘 Look into the eyepieces.
왘 Bring the object into focus
(p.24)
왘 Rotate the magnification
changer until the desired magnification is achieved.

On the S6 models and for the S8 APO it is possible to fix the maximum and minimum zoom. The same function can be used to set a fixed level of magnification.
1. Set the minimum zoom level at 1 using the stop on the left-hand pinion knob:
왘 Loosen the hexagon head
screws on the left-hand pinion knob using the Allen key supplied.
왘 Turn the right-hand pinion
knob to 1.
왘 Move the stop on the left-
hand pinion knob forwards until it touches the built-in zoom stop.

Preparations
Bring the test
object into focus
If you adjust the diopters at the adjustable eyepiece as described below, the focus will remain constant, or par­focal, 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 measure­ment in the graticule user manuals.
Setting up diopter with an adjustable and a fixed eyepiece
왘 Set up illuminator.
왘 Set interpupillary distance (p.23).
왘 Set approximate working distance using the focusing
drive (see p.38–40 for the working distances of the various objectives).
왘 Position a flat test object
beneath the objective.
왘 Set the microscope to
minimum magnification.
왘 Close the eye that is
looking into the adjustable eyepiece and look into the fixed eyepiece with the other eye.
왘 View the test object and
bring into focus with the focusing drive.

왘 Without looking into the eye-
pieces, turn the eyelens of the adjustable eyepiece as far as possible in the “+” direction.
왘 Close the eye that is looking
into the fixed eyepiece and look into the adjustable eyepiece with the other eye.
왘 View the test object and
slowly turn the eyelens clock­wise (the “–” direction) until the object is in focus.
왘 Set the microscope to
maximum magnification.
왘 View the test object with both
eyes and bring it into sharp focus with the focusing drive.
View the object while zooming from minimum to maximum magni­fication.
• The object should remain in constant focus (parfocal) at all times. If it does not, please repeat the procedure above.
