Leica SmartTouch™ Manual 33
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.
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.
