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™.
Leica SmartTouch™ and Leica Application Suite (LAS) The Leica SmartTouch™ can control the entire microscope configuration. In many cases, there are additional options when the Leica SmartTouch™ is used in conjunction with the Leica Application Suite (LAS) PC software. Leica SmartTouch™ Advanced options By interacting with LAS, the Leica SmartTouch™ can supplement the PC-based control system in the following areas: ϘϘ Controlling the camera via Leica SmartTouch™.
Controls on the Touchscreen Display conventions The display on the display panel only shows the configuration 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 differ from the display on your Leica SmartTouch™.
Calling up the Main view Calling up a stored configuration 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 filters and more. In the Main view screen, settings cannot be modified.
The "Main" View Only instruments that are actually connected are displayed. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Setup and Configuration Leica SmartTouch™ Manual 21
Selecting the Desired Language The user interface of the Leica SmartTouch™ is displayed in English by default. In addition, the following languages are available: ϘϘ German ϘϘ French ϘϘ Italian ϘϘ Spanish ϘϘ Chinese ϘϘ Japanese Changing the language The selected language is used immediately. Restarting the instrument is not required. 1. Touch the "Config." tab. 2. Touch the button for the SmartTouch™ settings. 3. Touch the button for language selection. 4. Touch the desired language.
The "Config." Tab The "Config." 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 off 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.
Configuration 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 field, zoom factor, etc.) correctly, they must be configured in the Leica SmartTouch™. Registering components 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.
Configuration of the Objective Nosepiece The encoded objective nosepiece holds two objectives or FluoCombi™ so that they can be exchanged by simply turning them. Registering the first objective 4. Touch the symbol for detecting the first objective. 5. Touch the type of objective that is in the beam path. (Continued on next page) Preparations 1. Install the encoded objective nosepiece and the two objectives on the optics carrier. 1. On the Leica SmartTouch™, touch the "Config." tab. 2.
Registering the objective nosepiece (cont'd) Detecting the second objective From this point forward, the Leica SmartTouch™ knows which objective is in the beam path and can subsequently calculate the magnification, depth of field and other values correctly. 1. Rotate the second objective so it is in the beam path of the microscope carrier. 2. Touch the symbol for detecting the second objective. 3. Touch the type of objective that is in the beam path.
Resetting to Factory Defaults When the Leica SmartTouch™ is reset to the factory defaults, all values are reset without exception. However, a stereomicroscope with fluorescence equipment configuration will have different factory defaults than a macroscope. Resetting to Factory Defaults The label of the button for the factory defaults depends on the connected microscope. When the button for factory defaults is touched, the Leica SmartTouch™ is reset immediately without further warning.
Adjusting the Brightness of the Display In critical applications (such as fluorescence microscopy), the backlighting of a display can produce unwanted ambient light. Therefore, it can be attenuated or even switched off entirely – both on the Leica SmartTouch™ itself and on the Leica M205 A and M205 FA stereomicroscopes. Adjusting the display brightness (Continued on next page) 1. Touch the "Config." tab. 2. Touch the button for the SmartTouch™ settings. 3. Touch the button for the display brightness. 4.

Double Rotary Actuator Assignment Leica SmartTouch™ Manual 71
Information about the Double Rotary Actuator The double rotary actuator consists of two knobs, each of which can be assigned two different functions. Thus a total of four functions are available, which can be assigned individually. The toggle button is located at the top end of the double rotary actuator. It is used to toggle between the two assignments. If the rotary actuators are not doubly assigned, the toggle button can be assigned a function.
Assigning a Function to the Knobs Each knob can be assigned two different functions. Assigning the first function 3. Touch one of these two symbols to select the desired rotary actuator. 4. Touch the command you want to assign to the selected rotary actuator. 1. Touch the "Config." tab. 2. Touch the button for the double rotary actuator assignment.
Assigning a Function to the Knobs (cont'd) Assigning the second function 1. Touch one of the following two symbols to select the desired rotary actuator. Toggling between the two assignments 1. Press the toggle button once briefly to switch from assignment 1 to assignment 2 (and vice versa). 2. Touch the command you want to assign to the selected rotary actuator.
Commands List: Rotary Knob Name Function Zoom Changes the magnification factor (zoom) Iris Opens and closes the iris Focus Controls the coarse focus Fine focus Controls the fine focus Stage X+ If the knob is moved clockwise, the motorized mechanical stage moves towards the left. Stage Y+ If the knob is moved clockwise, the motorized mechanical stage moves towards the rear. Stage X- If the knob is moved clockwise, the motorized mechanical stage moves towards the right.
Assigning a Function to the Toggle Button If you do not need the second level of rotary actuators, you can assign the toggle button on the double rotary actuator its own function. Then, a total of three functions are available to you: Assigning the toggle button 3. Touch the symbol of the toggle button to select it. 4. Touch the command you want to assign to the toggle button. If you want to go back to using the toggle button for switching between the two command levels, assign the "Toggle" command to it.

Calling Up and Saving Scenarios Leica SmartTouch™ Manual 79
Saving Scenarios The Leica SmartTouch™ can store up to 5 scenarios and reproduce them later at the touch of a button. These include the focus, the position of the stage, fluorescence filter and more. Saving a scenario The color-coding of a key indicates whether a memory location has already been assigned a scenario: If the iris and zoom are encoded, but not automated, when calling up a scenario, you are prompted to set the memory position manually.
Calling Up Scenarios Calling up using touchscreen Calling up using the hardware keys The easiest way to call up frequently used scenarios is using the hardware keys of the Leica SmartTouch™. 3. Touch the symbol for configuring the operating buttons. 4. Touch the desired operating button. 5. Under "Memory", select the memory location that contains the desired scenario. 1. Touch the "Config" tab. 2. Touch the symbol for assigning the memory locations. 3. Touch the desired memory location. 1.
Safety Measures for Focus and Stage The focus and/or the stage position can be excluded when saving. In this way, you can prevent the objective from colliding with a specimen when you call up a memory location that moves the objective far downwards. This also prevents the motorized mechanical stage from changing its position when a scenario is called up. Excluding the focus and/or stage 1. Touch the "Config" tab. 2. Touch the symbol for assigning the memory locations. 3.
