Leica M50 M60 M80 M Series Stereomicroscope User Manual
This user manual covers the Leica M series of stereomicroscopes, with the dimensional drawings and model sections for the Leica M50, M60 and M80. It begins with general instructions, the symbols used, important safety notes and detailed safety regulations for the microscope, lamp housing, supply unit and mercury lamp, and then introduces the modular design of the M series.
The manual then walks through assembly of the base and focusing column, microscope carrier, optics carrier, tube, eyepieces and objective, plus the Leica LED5000 CXI and LED3000 NVI illuminations. A quick start guide explains interpupillary distance, focusing, zoom, ratchet steps and magnification levels, followed by sections on eyepieces and tubes, photography and video, optical accessories, system illumination and an appendix for calculating total magnification and field of view diameter.

Questions answered in these manuals
What is the automatic target acquisition distance of the Leica TM60?
The TM60 can automatically acquire targets up to 3000 m away in ATRplus mode.
How does the AutoLearn feature work?
AutoLearn automatically detects all prisms within a defined search area, adds them to the monitoring list, and eliminates the need for manual prism searching.
How is the total magnification calculated?
Magnification in the binocular tube is MTOT VIS = MO × ME × z × q × r, where MO is the objective magnification, ME the eyepiece magnification, z the magnification changer position, q the tube factor and r a factor of 1.25× when planachromatic and planapochromatic objectives of the MZ125/MZ16 are used on the MS5, MZ6, MZ75 or MZ95.
