Parfocality: More Comfort and Convenience for Your Work

All Leica stereomicroscopes are parfocally matched, meaning that you can view a focused specimen from the lowest to the highest magni- fication without having to refocus. There is no need to readjust the focus to view of specimen location that is located higher or lower.

Requirements for parfocal work

★★ If you are using an eyepiece with dioptric correction, the procedure differs from this description. For more information, refer to page 61.

★★ For the procedure for adjusting the parfo- cality for the objective revolver, refer to page 26.

Parfocality

1.Enlarge the view to the maximum level.

2.Focus on the specimen.

You are done! Even if you select a smaller work- ing distance, the specimen remains pin-sharp.

The parfocality is maintained until you focus on another level of the specimen.
