[. . . ] Leica FL800 Integrated Vascular Fluorescence Living up to Life Pioneering Fluorescence Innovation The development of fluorescence microscopy has a long tradition at Leica Microsystems, dating back to the beginning of the 20th century. Today, the successful integration of Leica Microsystems' high-resolution surgical optics with the science of fluorescence provides brand new possibilities in vascular procedures. Thanks to this progress even small arteries and veins can be visualized in real time through the optics of a surgical microscope.

Subsequently, this enables the surgeon to determine the patency of vessels during surgery. The smooth set-up and use of the Leica FL800 perfectly integrates into the efficient flow of a vascular procedure. The press of a single button on the surgical microscope activates the Leica FL800 ICG process. The fluorescence is then filtered through Leica Microsystems' superior surgical optics with maximum brightness and high contrast. The system is designed to make this process easy for surgical staff and to increase their comfort level as all filtering is built into the system and is available whenever the surgeon chooses to use ICG. The ICG fluorescence sequence is visualized through the microscope eyepieces, on the video monitor, or both. The Leica FL800 System Leica DI C700 Leica M720 Leica M720 FL800 system NIR optimized Dual Video Adapter On/Off switch on the surgical microscope joystick The Best Possible Image The Fluorescence Technique To improve the visible image and near-infrared ICG signal, Leica Microsystems has developed a NIR-optimized beam splitter and Dual Video Adapter. The perfect matching of the illumination and NIR video filters create a bright ICG fluorescence image. The surgeon and operating room staff can view the image on a video monitor and record it for later viewing. The Leica Dual Imaging Color Integrating the Leica DI C700 Dual Imaging Color Module with the Leica M720 optics carrier (or Leica DI C500 with the Leica M525) allows the surgeon to insert the image into the eyepiece, if desired. The 1024 x 768 pixel resolution of the Leica DI C700/DI C500 gives the viewer 66% more pixels than competitive microscopes Leica M525 OH4 FL800 and provides a bright, crisp, and true color image. This is critical when viewing ICG fluorescence images. OverHead Stands and Leica M-series Optics Carriers The Leica FL800 ICG fluorescence module can be integrated with the Leica M720 OH5, Leica M525 OH4, and Leica M520 OH3. Leica Microsystems' premium Leica M720 Apo- and Leica M525 OptiChromeTM Optics offer outstanding contrast, sharpness, resolution, and color fidelity. The `light touch' maneuverability of the Leica OH floorstands gives the surgeon perfect stability and functionality for all vascular procedures.

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. [. . . ]
