User manual LEICA DM IL LED BROCHURE

[. . . ] Additionally, special tubes and condensers have been developed for the Leica DM IL LED. Integrated fluorescence · Manual fluorescence with three filter cubes · Integrated shutter · Optionally LED, classic mercury illumination or fiber optic coupling Flexible and modular · A full range of optical components · Compatible with research stands · Unheated and heated stages · Large selection of tubes · Comprehensive range of accessories for special applications 3 The Most Comprehensive Array of Contrast Methods All available contrast methods can be adapted to individual applications easily and quickly. Two condensers have been developed specifically for the Leica DM IL LED, which can be used for the entire magnification range of the respective contrast method. The high-resolution S40/0. 45 condenser makes even tiny details of a specimen visible. Both condensers, the S40/0. 45 and S80/0. 30, allow for use of phase contrast up to the 63x objective as well as Integrated Modulation Contrast (IMC) up to the 40x objective. Fatigue-free operation The ergonomic arrangement of all controls such as the focus dial, brightness controller, condenser height adjustment, objective nosepiece and XY stage adjustment allow users to be relaxed while working with the microscope ­ even for hours. [. . . ] The LED, with a service life at least 250 times longer than that of conventional halogen lamps, is easy to maintain and very costeffective. The 5 watt power of the LED is completely converted into light while maintaining uniform color temperature. Optionally, users can activate the integrated automatic shut off ­ an additional contribution to energy savings. In particular the phase contrast and IMC are optimized by the warm hue of the LED. With the help of the attachable filter, the illumination impression can be individually adapted in both directions of the color spectrum. The integrated collector attains optimum light utilization and the integrated aperture diaphragm creates optimum contrast and resolution for every specimen and every objective. Cost-effective and efficient · Low energy consumption · No heat buildup · LED with a service life of 50, 000 hours · "Auto-off" function for illumination Rat testes, Integrated Modulation Contrast (IMC) 6 Anything Goes For the first time, a condenser concept has been realized in the Leica DM IL LED that allows all contrast methods with all condensers. With a working distance of at least 40 mm and a numerical aperture of 0. 45, the S40 condenser is the perfect tool for applications for which optimum resolution is the most important parameter. Phase contrast and IMC ensure optimum contrasting. The working distance of at least 80 mm and 0. 30 aperture of the S80 condenser are the ideal prerequisites for achieving maximum possible free room around the specimen and optimum contrasting at the same time. The continuous adjustment of the condenser height depending on specimen vessel and liquid layer is a one-ofa-kind feature. It ensures maximum flexibility when using peripheral microtools. Whether you work with thin sections or thick specimens, phase and modulation contrast produce a brilliant microscopic image for all specimens and applications. Perfect for your applications ­ the S40 and S80 condensers High-intensity and high-contrast ­ the 10 W LED illumination 7 Flexible Fluorescence Innovative LED illumination for fluorescence applications with the Leica SFL100. Fluorescence applications, in particular GFP labeling, play an ever more important role in clinical diagnostics and routine microscopy. The Leica DM IL LED Fluo has been designed in consideration of this trend. The microscope has been equipped with a fluorescence axis and a 3-position slider to ensure fast and easy switching to different fluorochromes. The slider glides smoothly in an elaborately constructed dovetail guide. An extensive, constantly growing range of filters allows a wide variety of fluorescence examinations. The filter blocks are optimized for minimizing stray light. Excitation, reflection and barrier filters adapt to your application. Transmitted-light methods can be used simultaneously or as an alternative so that fluorescent and nonfluorescent structures can be clearly assigned. An integrated shutter protects the specimen against bleaching. The Leica DM IL LED Fluo is the first routine fluorescence microscope that allows users to choose between classic illumination (halogen, mercury or high-pressure xenon lamps), the "cold" light guide coupling of the Leica EL6000 and the new LED illumination, Leica SFL100. This gives users the ability to excite and examine fluorochromes to see more detail under the microscope. [. . . ] Our strong focus on understanding scientific applications puts Leica Microsystems' customers at the leading edge of science. The statement by Ernst Leitz in 1907, "with the user, for the user, " describes the fruitful collaboration with end users and driving force of innovation at Leica Microsystems. We have developed five brand values to live up to this tradition: Pioneering, High-end Quality, Team Spirit, Dedication to Science, and Continuous Improvement. For us, living up to these values means: Living up to Life.
