Leica A60 F User Manual 

Using the Leica A60 F 22

 

Focusing raises and lowers the stereo-
microscope using the focusing drive. The 

specimen is brought into sharp focus as soon as 
it is in the focal point of the optics.

 

The focusing drive can be operated 
either left- or right-handed.

 

If precise focusing is not possible, check 
whether the working distance is in the 

permitted range (see page 20).

Focusing

1.  Set the magnification changer to the lowest 

level (5).

2.  Begin to focus on the specimen.

3.  Set the magnification changer to the high-

est level (30).

4.  Use the focusing drive for fine focus.

 

After the sharpness has been adjusted, it 
remains constant (parfocal) even when 

changing the magnification levels – as long as 
you have configured the diopter settings on the 
eyepiece correctly for your eyes (see page 24).
