Storing and restoring stage positions
A variety of stage positions can be stored tempo-
rarily in the Leica Application Suite (LAS). The XY
position is stored, not the Z position.
In addition to a loading position (Load), 5 stage
positions can be set temporarily. When switch-
ing the microscope on, the stage will travel to a
previously-defi ned starting position.
Temporarily store and
restore stage positions via
Leica Application Suite (LAS) Software
