Calibrating The Zoom - Leica SmartTouch Manual

Calibrating the zoom

Every Leica instrument and accessory
is built and inspected according to the
most stringent criteria. In most cases, the prein-
stalled configuration should meet your needs.
However, if you want to use the Leica Smart-
Touch™ to measure as accurately as possible,
you can calibrate the zoom. This compensates
for the already tiny manufacturing tolerances.
For the calibration, the optional graticule
10 450 054 and a stage micrometer are
required.
Leica SmartTouch™
Preparations
1. Insert the graticule into the eyepiece.
2. Place the stage micrometer under the
microscope.
3. Adjust the instrument to the magnification
you want to calibrate (for example 50×).
The calibration improves accuracy over
the entire zoom range. However, you will
obtain the most accurate results at the magnifi-
cation you have selected for the calibration.
