The fluorescence version, the Leica DM IL LED Fluo, also offers a variety of possible applications. Optionally, it is also available with the new LED illumination. Heatable microscope stages and 3-plate cross-stages provide great flexibility for experiments on living cells under physiological conditions. The Leica DM IL LED has a further advantage that distinguishes it from other microscopes in its class: The stand is highly compatible with components of the Leica research microscopes. O bjectives, eyepieces, tubes, camera ports, contrast methods. Additionally, special tubes and condensers...

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, a llow 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...

Brightfield All Leica brightfield and phase objectives from 2.5x to 100x can be used for stained specimens. The bright field method can be used even for low magnification levels without condenser. A working distance of 200 mm is realized simply by unscrewing the condenser head. Phase contrast Phase contrast is used primarily in live cell microscopy to make structures in unstained specimens visible. Three preadjusted light rings on a slider allow phase contrast for all objectives from 5x to 63x. No readjustment is necessary when changing the objectives. The intelligent LED illumination...

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 a pplications 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...

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...

CAPTURING EVERY DETAIL A large selection of tubes is available for the Leica DM IL LED. All tubes can be rotated individually by 360° and are equipped with a 1x tube lens and an eyepiece holder for HC optics. In addition, two special tubes have been developed for the L eica DM IL LED: – LB binocular tube with a viewing angle of 45° I – LT trinocular tube with a viewing angle of 45° and vertical camI era port with selectable light path (100% photo or 100% visual). The port is positioned 88 mm to the side and allows an unobstructed view of the specimen at all times. It is also possible to...

PROPERLY CULTURED In live cell microscopy, the right microscope stage and the corresponding accessories are important prerequisites for the best results. In addition to the fixed stages with or without mechanical stage, Leica Microsystems offers 3-plate cross-stages with different inserts for a wide variety of culture flasks. All microscopes are also available with heating stages or heating inserts. The sturdy mechanical system and the compact stand ensure best possible stability.
