Stereomicroscope Accessory offers 3D stereo viewing.
Press Release Summary:
Leica Fluo Combi for Leica MZ FLIII fluorescence stereomicroscope merges high resolution imaging and 3D stereo viewing at same workstation. It provides in-focus and parcentric switching from 1x Plan and 1x Planapo stereo objective to 10x or 20x compound objective. Integrated beam-splitter offers binocular viewing during compound objective use. Axial-shifting provides 3D image stacking. Sharpness remains constant during objective switching, and refocusing is not necessary.

Leica Microsystems is pleased to introduce the new Leica Fluo Combi, an innovative accessory for the Leica MZ FLIII fluorescence stereomicroscope that merges high resolution imaging and 3D stereo viewing at the same workstation.
No longer will users have to switch between microscopes to achieve sufficient working distance for specimen manipulation and high quality documentation imaging. The affordable Leica Fluo Combi allows the user to outfit any new or existing Leica MZ FLIII fluorescence stereomicroscope with both 3D stereo and high-resolution compound objectives. The Leica Fluo Combi offers:
o Easy, in-focus, and parcentric switching from a 1x Plan and 1x Planapo stereo objective to a 10x or 20x compound objective
o Integrated beam-splitter for binocular viewing during compound objective use
o Axial-shifting that provides easy 3D image stacking for truly in-focus photos.
With the Leica Fluo Combi, the sharpness remains constant during objective switching and refocusing is not necessary. The user can combine stereo observation for screening, sorting and observation with high resolution and high magnification viewing for evaluation and quality screening. The Fluo Combi is ideal for genetic applications using Drosophila, C.elegans, Arabidopsis, Mouse or Chick embryos or Zebrafish.
