Introduction

The Leica SmartTouch™ makes a variety of tasks easier, combined with an easy-to-understand and well-organized user interface. Control the zoom, focus, and camera. Move the stage with the specimen, restore the test conditions at the touch of a button or change the lter for uo­rescence images. All that and much more will be possible with the Leica SmartTouch™.
We wish you great joy and the best of success in your work!

Encoded and Unencoded Components

The Leica M series has various encoded
and motorized components; this means that the current status of a component is auto­matically transmitted to the Leica SmartTouch™. These data are displayed on the control panel and included in various calculations. At the same time, it is possible to control motorized components remotely via the Leica Smart­Touch™.
Encoded components
For example, if you adjust the encoded iris diaphragm on a Leica M205 C using the dial, the size of the aperture is automatically trans­mitted to the Leica SmartTouch™. The transmit­ted value is then used to calculate and display the depth of eld, for example.
For some instruments, such as the Leica M205 A, this also works the other way around: the iris diaphragm can be opened and closed by input on the Leica SmartTouch™.
Unencoded components
Not all components of the M series are encoded. The objectives, spacer rings and eyepieces are among the unencoded elements.
To ensure that these unencoded elements are included in the various calculations correctly, a one-time conguration of these elements is required. For instructions, refer to page 24.
If an unencoded component is replaced
with another component, this compo­nent must be detected correctly – otherwise, the Leica SmartTouch™ will show incorrect values on the display.
Leica SmartTouch™ Manual 16

Leica SmartTouch™ and Leica Application Suite (LAS)

The Leica SmartTouch™ can control
the entire microscope conguration. In many cases, there are additional options when the Leica SmartTouch™ is used in conjunction with the Leica Application Suite (LAS) PC soft­ware.
Advanced options
Ϙ Controlling the camera via Leica Smart-
Touch™.
Ϙ Synchronizing the settings (for example,
hardware setups or key assignments) between the Leica SmartTouch™ and LAS.
Ϙ Displaying the stage position when using
LAS PowerMosaic.

Display conventions
The display on the display panel only
shows the conguration that is actually present. For example, if the motorized mecha­nical stage is not connected, the corresponding settings are not displayed. The screenshots in this manual may thus dier from the display on your Leica SmartTouch™.
Color coding conventions
All xed elements of the user interface
(such as labels or titles) are displayed in a black font. All the values that can be modied (such as the zoom factor, status of the illumina­tor, etc.) are displayed in a red font.
Leica SmartTouch™ Manual 18

Calling up the Main view

The "Main" view allows you to see at a
glance which components can be cont­rolled via the Leica SmartTouch™. The current values and positions of connected instruments are also displayed. These include, for example, the aperture of the iris diaphragm, the posi­tion of the motorized mechanical stage, the currently used lters and more.
In the Main view screen, settings cannot
be modied. However, the stored con­gurations can still be called up (see page 63).
Calling up the Main view
1. Touch the "Main" tab to display the current
values.
2. Touch the "Focus/Zoom", "Stage" or "Light"
tabs to modify the settings for the respec­tive instruments.
Calling up a stored conguration
1. Touch the desired hardware key to call up a dierent conguration.
Leica SmartTouch™ Manual 19

The "Main" View

Only instruments that are actually connected are
displayed.
1. Total visual magnication
2. Position within possible magnication
3. Motorized focus position within positioning range
4. Aperture of the iris diaphragm in values between 20% (closed) and 100% (completely open)

Selecting the Desired Language

The user interface of the Leica Smart-
Touch™ is displayed in English by default. In addition, the following languages are availa­ble:
Ϙ German
Ϙ French
Ϙ Italian
Ϙ Spanish
Ϙ Chinese
Ϙ Japanese
Changing the language
1. Touch the "Cong." tab.
2. Touch the button for the SmartTouch™ settings.
3. Touch the button for language selection.
4. Touch the desired language.
The selected language is used immedi-
ately. Restarting the instrument is not
required.
Leica SmartTouch™ Manual 22
The "Cong." Tab
The "Cong." tab contains all the
commands and settings so that the Leica SmartTouch™ can be better adapted to your needs and requirements. This includes settings you can adjust at your discretion, for example, switching the key tone on or o or adjusting the brightness of the display. Other settings, however, are indispensable, for example, detec­ting unencoded components (refer also to page
16).
Any changes to the settings are carried
out immediately and stored.
Calling up the settings
1. Touch the "Cong." tab.
2. Select the desired category in the "Cong." eld.
3. Congure the settings in the right eld.
Leica SmartTouch™ Manual 23
Conguration of Unencoded Components
Unencoded components (such as an
objective) are not detected automati­cally by the Leica SmartTouch™. To ensure that these components are included in the various calculations (depth of eld, zoom factor, etc.) correctly, they must be congured in the Leica SmartTouch™.
These congurations must be carried out
on the following occasions:
Ϙ Initial commissioning of the microscope.
Ϙ After an unencoded component has been
replaced by a component with dierent properties.
Ϙ After the Leica SmartTouch™ has been reset
to the factory defaults.
Registering components
1. Touch the "Cong." tab.
2. In the left area, touch the symbol for the microscope accessories.
3. Touch the symbol of the instrument compo­nent that you would like to detect.
4. In the list with the available components, touch the components you are using.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all components that you would like to use.
Each change is stored immediately.
Restarting the instrument is not required.
Leica SmartTouch™ Manual 24
Conguration of the Objective Nosepiece
The encoded objective nosepiece holds
two objectives or FluoCombi™ so that they can be exchanged by simply turning them.
Preparations
1. Install the encoded objective nosepiece and
the two objectives on the optics carrier.
Registering the rst objective
1. On the Leica SmartTouch™, touch the "Cong." tab.
2. In the left area, touch the symbol for the microscope accessories.
3. Rotate the rst objective so it is in the beam path of the microscope carrier.
5. Touch the type of objective that is in the beam path.
