A distribution of the light intensity would be e.g. 50% of the light intensity on the visual output and the remaining 50% on the output to the photo tube. It is also important to learn the article number of the eyepieces used and those with the
- control buttons 30 or function keys in the area around the drive button 28. These function keys can be assigned differently. This is how the short name of the key assignment is entered during configuration. Furthermore, the command, which at Key operation is carried out through the configuration.

- Objectives 37 define the filter blocks. Then the prisms in the interference disk and the condenser 24 follow. Now all the required data has been entered. Software is implemented in the computer 17, which is able to calculate all those methods that can be implemented with the configured elements. It becomes a so-called
- the method vector is calculated and written to a memory 47 in the stand 2 of the microscope 1.
