Motorized Focus: Restricting the Travel Path

Depending on the work situation, it is useful to restrict the maximum travel path of the stereomicroscope. This prevents

injury during handling of the sample caused by fingers or hands becoming trapped or the specimen touching the objective or even being damaged by it.

Readjusting the motorized focus

The motorized focus is factory-adjusted and normally does not need to be readjusted— even if the maximum travel path is changed.

•Exception: If the power fails while the motorized focus is moving, the position

data are lost. In this case, the calibration must be repeated using the Leica LAS software or the Leica SmartTouch™. To do so, please consult the respective manual.

Restricting the bottom travel range

1.Move the motorized focus into the lowest position you want to reach.

2.Unscrew the screw of the limit stop on the side of the focusing column.

3.Push the limit stop to the height of the motorized focus.

It is easiest to move the limit stop by keeping the screwdriver inserted and moving it upwards.

4. Tighten the screw of the limit stop.
