(Fig. 18/1) pressed for over 2 seconds, the
adjusted segment is set into continuous rotation
(rotation steps of 1/8 circle, 1 second per turn in
each case).
• By pressing the rear button once more (Fig. 18/1), rotation is stopped and the specimen is backlit
again.
For switching the illumination intensity ON and OFF and adjusting the illumination intensity
