The Leica DM IL LED is an inverted routine microscope that combines Leica HC optics with LED illumination.
The low-maintenance light source with no heat build up, the long free working distances with generous space for operation and the system's high stability, create suitable conditions for microscopy with live samples.
The Leica DM IL LED and the fluorescence variant Leica DM IL Fluo can be individually configured with a wide range of optics and accessories.
The DM IL LED is suitable for a variety of cell and tissue culture examinations in biology and medicine, for studies in development biology or micromanipulation, all the way up to live cell experiments in transgenics or electrophysiology.
The DM IL Fluo variant offers potential for fluorescence applications such as GFP labelling and can also be supplied with LED fluorescence illumination on request.
Featuring an automatic shutoff, the compact illumination unit integrates a pre-centered LED with a lifetime of 50,000 hours.
The 10W power of the LED is fully converted into light.
The transmitted light illumination, optimised condensers and contrasting techniques are specially geared to cytobiological applications.
All available contrasting techniques can be adjusted to individual requirements.
The integrated modulation contrast (IMC) technique, further developed by Leica Microsystems, does not require special objectives.
The microscope is compatible with components of Leica research microscopes.
Condensers have been designed for the Leica DM IL LED that are suitable for all contrasting techniques.
With its working distance of at least 80mm and an aperture of 0.30, the S80 condensor gives the greatest possible amount of space around the sample while providing optimum contrast.
The continuously adjustable condenser height offers flexibility when using peripheral microtools.
With an aperture of 0.45 and at least 40mm working distance, the S40 condenser enables high resolutions.
