The Electronics: Comfort, Convenience and Safety for your Experiments
Never before have electronics been used as
extensively in a Leica series as in the new M
series lineup. Optics carrier, tripod, base and
illuminator are all connected using electrical
contacts—which provides a number of advan-
tages. Fewer cables
A large part of the cables have been routed in
the interior of the column. Data are also trans-
ferred via the interface between the column,
the optics carrier and the carrier. The direct
result is that you need fewer cables—this not
only makes your workstation neater and more
comfortable, it even makes it appear larger.
Contacts not only transmit data, but also supply
the power.
