The Leica S8 APO is the first Greenough stereomicroscope on the market to offer a fully apochromatic corrected optics system.
The 8:1 zoom magnification system, in concert with a variety of available eyepieces and supplemental objectives, produces magnifications from 3.2 - 640x (10 - 80x standard magnification) and achieves an incredible 600 line pairs/mm resolution. Never before has such high performance been available in a cost effective Greenough optical design microscope. The resulting contrast, brilliance, definition, resolution and imaging accuracy are unparalleled. The Leica S8 APO is an attractively priced, high-performance instrument for the discerning user and features:
- Fully apochromatic-corrected zoom lens system and supplemental objectives enhance differentiation between closely spaced structures.
- Standard working distance of 75mm balances high resolution optical performance with easy sample accessibility.
- Built-in photo port for easy adaptation to any digital camera.
- Adjustable upper and lower zoom magnification stops allow easy calibration for repeatable inspections at required magnifications.
The Leica S8 APO is a powerhouse of performance and optimizes the capabilities of your camera and analysis software. With the built-in video/photo tube, the Leica S8 APO is ready to be adapted to professional digital image recording systems such as the Leica DC 300 digital camera.
