Newer, better, faster fluorescence scope
The world's first motorised, automated, fully apochromatic fluorescence stereomicroscope, with push button controls for filter changer, zoom, focus, UV diaphragm, and the double iris aperture
With the new Leica MZ16 FA fluorescence stereomicroscope, scientists can gain more information, faster Said to be the world's first motorised, automated, fully apochromatic fluorescence stereomicroscope, the Leica MZ16 FA lets the user control the filter changer, zoom, focus, UV diaphragm, and the double iris aperture at the touch of a button, and repeats multifluorescence experiments automatically, quickly, exactly and ergonomically

Royal Shrewsbury chooses Leica for comfort
The cytology department at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital has chosen new ergonomically designed microscopes from Leica Microsystems to replace old instruments
The Leica MZ16 FA is the most powerful fluorescence stereomicroscope with the greatest zoom capability (16:1), the highest resolution (840Lp/mm), the highest magnification (115x with standard optics), a patented illumination/filter system for the most intense fluorescence on jet black backgrounds, and an HL RC innovative high-performance transmitted-light base for excellent relief contrast.
For repetitive working procedures, defined positions of zoom, focus, filter changer and double-iris aperture can be saved and controlled, so that multifluorescence experiments can be reproduced very quickly and exactly.
The MZ16 FA automatically configures all settings at a single touch of a button, recognises the filter type and controls the diaphragm for protection from UV light.
