Before unpacking, make sure no person can get injured by falling or tilting part.
3.1 Unpacking the base
The base is delivered with the adapter plate attached. The selected stage (IsoPro™ cross-stage or standard stage 10447269), and the focusing drive will have to be mounted later. Make sure the devices are unpacked on a flat, sufficiently dimensioned, and non-slip surface.
3.2 Stage assembly
The TL RCTM/ RCI™ transmitted-light base can be equipped with two different stages. The selected stage is mounted on the base before start-up. The two stages can be easily exchanged at any time.
The following paragraph assumes the base without the stage mounted. Disassembly is performed in reverse order of the following steps.
3.2.1 Standard stage
Take the glass plate from the rectangular gap in the standard stage.
Position the stage on the transmitted-light base in such way that the four holes align over those in the base.
Attach the stage to the base with the four supplied Allen screws.
Insert the glass plate back into the standard stage.
3.2.2 IsoProTM cross-stage
Before the IsoPro™ cross-stage is mounted to the base, the axis containing the control buttons is attached optionally on the left or the right side of the cross-stage.
If the controls shall be mounted on the left side, the gear rod on the bottom side of the cross-stage must be unscrewed and re-attached in reverse.
Take the glass plate from the cross-stage.
Turn the cross-stage around and place it onto a non-slip surface.
Change the gear rod (6.2) from the left to the right side.
Skip the next two steps to mount the controls.
Control assembly
Take the glass plate from the cross-stage.
Turn the cross-stage around and place it onto a non-slip surface.
Attach the axis with the control buttons (6.1) to the desired side. The fastener snaps into the cross-stage magnetically.
Attach the axis with the two supplied Allen screws.
Attach the cover rail to the cross-stage.
Cross-stage assembly
Place the cross-stage onto the base.
Pull the upper part of the cross-stage carefully toward the user, fixing the lower part onto the transmitted-light base.
Attach the cross-stage evenly to the three threaded holes.
Push the cross-stage all the way back to the fence in direction of the column.
Re-insert the glass plate back into the standard stage.
3.3 Focusing drive column
Unscrew the adapter plate (1.2) from the base using the supplied Allen key.
Attach your focusing drive column to the bottom with the three Allen screws (2).
Re-attach the adapter plate to its original position.
3.4 Intermediate adapter assembly
Mount the supplied adapter between the column and microscope carrier, to balance the enlarged distance between focusing drive and optical axis.
Attach the adapter (3) to the focusing drive for the pins to lock in recess.
Attach the adapter using the supplied Allen key.
3.5 Equipment assembly
After mounting the adapter to the focusing drive, the microscope carrier, optics carrier, and the entire equipment can be assembled as usual.
3.6 Connecting the cold light-source to the TL RC™ base
Push the appropriate end of the cold light guide into the base back-side.
For further information about the use of cold light sources refer to the instructions supplied separately.
3.7 Connecting the power cable (TL RCI™)

4.1 Switch for adjusting the relief contrast
Use the two switches (8.1 and 8.2) on the left side of the transmitted-light base TL RCTM/TL RCI to actuate the two integrated flaps. The outer switch (8.1) controls the inverted relief contrast. The inner switch (8.2) controls the positive relief contrast. Depending on the flap position, part of the opening of the integrated Fresnel lens is covered causing different contrast effects. Phase structures typically appear as spatial, relief images - like hills in a positive relief contrast and as recesses in inverted relief contrast.
The contrast can be increased without relief by adjusting the two diaphragms to 45^ . A slot shaped illuminated area appears. The slot can be moved over the entire field of view and quickly switched between positive and negative relief view by precise tilting of the path-folding mirror. The dynamic effect makes it simple to distinguish phase structures from amplitude structures.
Depending on the properties of the object (refractive index to environment) and your own sensitivity, it may occur that you need to operate the switches for the positive and inverted relief contrast in reverse. These switches are described below.
I.e. instead of the top switch (8.1), the bottom switch (8.2) controls the inverted relief contrast. Instead of the bottom switch (8.2), the top switch (8.1) controls the positive relief contrast.
4.2 Path-folding mirror
The built-in path-folding mirror features a flat and a concave side and can be rotated and moved. The concave side was specifically designed for the optical features of objectives with high
numeric aperture. Using the black rotary knob (8.1) on the left side of the transmitted light base you can turn and push the path-folding mirror back and forth.
The concave recess at the grip shows the concave side of the mirror and allows the intuitive operation without eye contact at anytime.
Depending on the angle and position of the mirror the angle of light incidence changes on the specimen level so that you can move between a transmitted light bright field, through oblique illumination to dark field like illumination.
The black rotary knob (8.1) on the left side of the transmitted-light base is used:
- To rotate the path-folding mirror from the flat to the concave side
- For slight tilting, to steer the light beam more steeply or flatly through the object level
- To shift the path-folding mirror (forward/backward)
4.3 Operating the cross-stage IsoPro™
To move the stage in X direction rotate the outer knob (7.1)
To move the stage in Y direction rotate the inner ring around the knob (7.2)
4.4 Light intensity and color temperature
4.4.1 Transmitted-light base TL RC™
Please observe the user manual and in particular the safety regulations of the manufacturers of the light guide and cold light source.
Turn on the cold light source according to the manufacturer's user manual and connect, activate, and adjust the light intensity.

4.4.2 TL RCI™ transmitted-light base
The TL RCI^TM transmitted-light base has two electronic potentiometers to control the dye intensity (9.1), and dye temperature (9.2) separately.
Adjust the dye intensity using the front potentiometer (9.1) to match your requirements.
With the rear potentiometer (9.2), set the dye temperature to match the color impression to your requirements.
The dye temperature control also serves as electronic shutter:
For process interruption, press the potentiometer (9.2).
To switch on the illumination, press the potentiometer again. The electronics return to the previously selected settings.

2 Potentiometer Control of dye temperature
4.5 Leica USB mouse (TL RCI™ only)
The Leica USB mouse controls the IsoColTM and the dimming function of the TL RCITM base.
Connect the mouse (5) to the appropriate USB port of the base (4.4).
- By default, the scroll wheel of the mouse is assigned to the IsoColTM control.
Scroll away from the user to increase the illumination intensity in IsoColTM mode.
Scroll towards the user to decrease the illumination intensity in IsoColTM mode.
Click the scroll wheel briefly to switch the illumination on or off.
To switch between the IsoColTM- and dimming mode and back, click on and hold the scroll wheel for more than 2 seconds.
- The intensity in the dimming mode changes analog to the IsoColTM mode.
4.6 Methods with transmitted light
4.6.1 Vertical bright field illumination
Suitable for colored amplitude preparations with sufficient contrast.
Both switches should be placed in horizontal position.
The flaps are open.
Using the black rotary knob (8.3) on the left-hand side of the transmitted-light base, shift the path-folding mirror towards the column until it hits the stop.
According to the aperture of the used objective rotate either the plane or concave side of the path-folding mirror toward the top.
Turn the path-folding mirror to the notch position at 45^ .
The light beams are steered vertically through the object. The outcome of this is an exact bright field with maximum brightness.
4.6.2 Inclined transmitted light
Suitable for semitransparent, opaque objects such as foraminiferes and fish eggs.
Both switches should be placed in horizontal position.
The flaps are open.
Turn the path-folding mirror (8.3) so that the light beams fall through the object diagonally.
Shift the path-folding mirror until the required information is visible.
4..3 Asymmetrical dark-field illumination
Both switches should be placed in horizontal position.
- The flaps are open.
Rotate the path-folding mirror (8.3) so that the light beams pass flatly through the object.
The flatter the light rays are deflected into the objects the darker the background appears.
A transmitted light similar to a dark field is created. Contours, fine edges and structures are brightly emphasized by diffraction of the light on the dark background.
4.6 Relief display
Starting position
Using the black rotary knob (8.3) on the right-hand side of the transmitted-light base, shift the path-folding mirror towards the column until it hits the stop.
Turn the path-folding mirror to the notch position at 45^ .
4.6.1 Positive relief contrast
Both switches should be placed in horizontal position.
- The flaps are open.
Rotate the inner switch (8.2) close to the upright position.
- The bottom flap is closed. There is positive relief contrast. The phase structures act like hills.
Intensify or weaken the effect by tilting the path-folding mirror.
4.6.2 Negative relief contrast
Rotate the inner switch (8.2) close to the horizontal position.
- The bottom flap is open.
Rotate the upper switch (8.1) close to the upright position.
- The top flap is closed. There is negative relief contrast. Phase structures appear as recesses.
Intensify or weaken the effect by tilting the path-folding mirror (8.3).
4.6.3 Dynamic relief contrast
Place both switches in about a 45^ degree position.
- The flaps are set to 45^ . A slot shaped illuminated area appears. The slot can be moved over the entire field of view and can be quickly switched between positive and negative relief view by precise tilting of the path-folding mirror (8.3). The dynamic effect makes it simple to distinguish phase structures from amplitude structures.
4.6.4 Limitations
The relief methods give good results from medium zoom up to a high level of magnification and with the 1 × , 1.6 × and 2 × objectives. In the bottom half of the zoom scale and with weaker objects, it may occur that the object field is not homogeneously lit. We recommend using the transmitted-light base with objectives of 1 × and higher and not with objectives with long focal distances.
Fig. 10 Switch positions to control the transmitted light

2 Switch position with positive relief contrast, medium
3 Switch position with positive relief contrast, strong
4 Switch position with inverted relief contrast, medium
5 Switch position with inverted relief contrast, strong
6 Switch position with increased contrast without relief contrast
7 Switch position with increased contrast without relief contrast, path-folding mirror tilted
8 Switch position with increased contrast without relief contrast, path-folding mirror tilted
4.7 Filter
TL RCTM and TL RCI transmitted-light bases can be equipped with up to three filters simultaneously, that are available as accessory (see Expansion Diagram page 18/19). The individual filters are also available to customers upon special request.
Turn off the light source or press (TL RCI™) the switch for the shutter (9.2).
Retrieve the empty filter from an available filter location at the filter holder.
Insert the desired filter.
Activate the light source again.
4.8 Changing the halogen lamp (TL RCI™)
It is absolutely necessary that you unplug
the power cord form the base before changing the lamp in order to prevent possible electrical shock!
The halogen lamp is getting very hot during
operation. Keep the base turned off for about 10 minutes to allow for cooling and in order to prevent burns!
Loosen the two bolts at the cooling element (11.1).
Carefully pull out the entire cooling element, including the lamp.
Remove the lamp holder (11.2) by pulling it from the guide rail.
Carefully pull off the lamp including its socket from the holder.
Remove the lamp (11.3) out of the socket.
Never touch the new halogen lamp with
bare fingers since this will significantly reduce the life expectancy of the lamp!
Push the new lamp into the socket.
Perform all above identified steps in reverse order.
