Inverted Routine Microscope features LED light source.
January 6, 2009 -
With no heat build-up, Leica DM IL LED is suited for imaging live samples. Unit's transmitted light illumination, condensers, and contrast techniques are specifically designed for cytobiological applications. All available contrast techniques adjust to individual requirements. Offering choice of 50 or 100 W HBO lamp housing or Leica EL6000 fluorescence illumination system, Leica DM IL FLUO version is suitable for fluorescence applications such as GFP labeling.
First Inverted Routine Microscope with LED Light Source
Leica DM IL LED Combines Brilliant Optics with Innovative Illumination
Bannockburn, Illinois. Brilliant optics and clear illumination are keys to achieving the best possible microscopic imaging results. The Leica DM IL LED is the first inverted, routine microscope to combine superior Leica Microsystems optics with state-of-the-art LED illumination. The low-maintenance light source with no heat build-up, the long free working distance, and the system's high stability create ideal conditions for imaging live samples. The Leica DM IL LED and the Leica DM IL FLUO fluorescence version are exceptionally versatile and can be individually configured with a wide range of optics and accessories.
A variety of applications
The Leica DM IL LED is ideal for a wide variety of cell and tissue culture examinations in biology and medicine, studies in development biology, micromanipulation, and live cell experiments in transgenics or electrophysiology. The versatile Leica DM IL FLUO for fluorescence applications, such as GFP labeling, is also available with a choice of 50W or 100W HBO lamp housing or the Leica EL6000 fluorescence illumination system. This 120W metal halide/HBO lamp requires no centering, uses a fiber optic light guide to keep heat away from the microscope. Plus it lasts an average of 2000 hours.
Flexible and modular
The Leica DM IL LED's transmitted light illumination, condensers, and contrast techniques are specifically designed for cytobiological applications. All available contrast techniques easily adjust to individual requirements. Leica Microsystems' unique integrated modulation contrast (IMC) does not require special objectives.
