44 | VisiLEDs MC Serie
All VisiLED illuminations can be controlled in segments using the MC 1500.
By choosing the optimal segment mode for each specimen an object contras-
ting can be achieved which far exceeds the contrasts one gets using a non-
segmented ringlight.
Repeated activation of the select key (3) changes the segment mode of the
selected illumination unit (A or B):
"Full circle ➔ Semi-circle ➔ Quarter-circle ➔ 2 segment mode ➔
4 segment mode ➔ Full circle ➔ ...."
The LED indicators of the segment control (2) display in which segment mode
the selected unit is currently set.
To change or check the segment mode of the second VisiLED unit this must
first be selected using the unit selector key (1).
If the MC 1500 is being controlled via a computer then all 8 individual seg-
ments of each illumination unit can be accessed. By combining the individual
segments user-defined segment modes can be set.
The MC 1500 makes it possible to set the brightness of all VisiLED illumi-
nations.
By pressing key (5) the brightness of the selected LED illumination unit
(A or B) can be set. Short tapping increases or decreases the brightness in
small steps. Continuous pressing of (5) increases (or decreases) the brightness
steplessly.
The LED indicators of the brightness setting (4) display in which brightness
range the selected illumination unit currently is:
