Note:
The parfocality teach-in has already been per-
formed at the factory. However, it may be neces-
sary to perform another teach-in after installing
the objectives when setting the microscope up.
We recommend checking parfocality before set-
ting the stops and performing a teach-in with the
Leica Application Suite (LAS) if necessary.
