The microscope also offers integrated modulation and phase contrast methods that do not require the use of special objectives.
Image brilliance and system flexibility for transmitted light and fluorescence applications.
The new Leica DMI3000 B is ideal for all manual fluorescence techniques.
The system features a five-position fluorescence turret for the fluorescence filter cubes.
Leica's fluorescence intensity manager (Fim) regulates the illumination, as well as the aperture and field diaphragm and their centring.
The fluorescence cubes feature light traps for background light reduction to produce a perfectly black background.
The Leica DMI3000 B offers a great variety of illumination options for transmitted light applications.
The large selection of condensers has been supplemented by a special S40 condensor for micromanipulation with a working distance of 40mm, which is also suitable for integrated phase contrast (IPH) and integrated modulation contrast (IMC).
Leica has improved its IMC to increase the depth of field, which increases the spatial visibility of thicker specimens.
With the S40, Leica now offers five different condensers with different working distances (1, 23, 28, 40, and 70mm).
Differential interference contrast (DIC) is also possible with the S70 condensor.
For the budget-conscious user, a transmitted light arm is available with an integrated 30W lamp house.
