Leica A60 F User Manual 

Using the Leica A60 F 20

Adjusting the working height 

1.  Move the flexarm to the desired height.

2.  Tighten the fastening lever if necessary to 

protect the stereomicroscope from acci-
dental height adjustment.

Adjusting the Working Height

Working distance

 

The working distance means the distance 
between the objective and the specimen 

in focus. For the Leica A60 F, this is 122 mm.

In addition, the focusing arm of the Leica A60 F 
provides a travel path of 50 mm that is used 
for focusing on the specimen. This provides 
you with plenty of freedom to focus on loca-
tions with different heights on a printed circuit 
board, for example.

Help for the setup

During setup, use the distance bar provided in 
the "Quick Start Guide" for orientation:

 

O

Without illuminator, the distance between 
the bottom section of the microscope and 
the specimen should be 122 mm.

 

O

With the illuminator installed, the distance 
between the bottom section of the illumi-
nator and the specimen should be 100 mm.
