Leica DM R Serie Mode D'emploi page 42

For direct visual observation (see page 37 – 38
for tubes) only eyepieces of the type HC L PLAN
can be used. Fitting diameter = 30 mm.
L PLAN type eyepieces may only be used on
microscopes of earlier series (= DM R label
on the right side of the microscope in black,
not red!).
PERIPLAN eyepieces, eyepieces from stereo-
microscopes or of manufacturers may not be
used, as the full performance of the objectives
would then not be utilized. Exceptions to this are
the Leica/Wild 16x /14 B and 25x /9.5 B eye-
pieces, for which a special adapter ring is
required, which is pushed onto the eyepiece
(37.2).

Eyepiece labelling
Example: 10 x/20
This name is put together as follows:
10x
Magnification of the eyepiece, i.e. the magnified
intermediate image produced by the objective is
additionally magnified by the eyepiece by the
engraved value (= eyepiece magnification).
Total magnification of the microscopes = M
(Reproduction scale of the objective x eyepiece
magnification)
Example: Objektive 25x/0.50, Eyepiece 10x/20
25 x 10 = 250x total magnification
If the tube factor is not 1x, the result must be
multiplied by tube factor as well. In the above
example, the total magnification after switching
to tube factor 1.6x would be 250x 1.6 = 400x.
