After figuring out the best field and camera parameters for your live view, taking and annotating 
pictures is the next step for making your work more discernible to others. The Leica Application 
Suite has basic tools that can be useful for the analysis of the microstructures within your 
sample. With methods such as X-Y-Z stitching available, intricate and complex photos can be 
made. If need be, post-processing image correction along with any annotations can be applied to 
your image for any second thoughts on the way that the image’s camera controls were captured.
