5.7.4 AFC (Adaptive Focus Control)
Leica DMi8 with motorized focus/closed loop
The AFC can be used to actively hold a defined focus posi-
tion and automatically readjust this position regularly. This
is useful if, for example, a temperature change is caused by
opening the climate chamber during living cell experiments
at 37°C.
The AFC is activated, then the specimen on the stand is
focused using the handwheel and the stopping position is
saved.
