Latest addition to range is a comprehensive solution with fully automated and motorised microscope, camera, and image processing software
The introduction of a new fully automated high-end research microscope completes the highly successful launch of Leica Microsystems's DigitalMicroscope series.
This latest addition incorporates a maximum of automation and ergonomics, making work substantially easier for the user.
By seamlessly integrating a microscope, digital camera and image processing software, Leica Microsystems also offers the advantage of a comprehensive solution from a single supplier.
The new research microscopes (Leica DM6000 B for biological research and demanding routine work and Leica DM6000 M for the research of industrial materials) are fully automated and motorised down to the very last detail.
All functions can either be controlled from a PC, via function keys on the microscope or via Leica's Smart Move remote control device which, in addition to four freely programmable buttons, features a remote control for the focus drive and the motorised stage.
In addition, all the motorised modules of the microscope can be set and controlled on the LeicaScreen.
"The full automation of the microscope is important as research is becoming more and more diversified and demands on the scientist are becoming more and more complex. "The DigitalMicroscope is a high performance instrument that will enable the customer to concentrate a hundred per cent on his samples and their further analysis," said Werner Kampe, marketing manager.
Leica Microsystems's DM6000 is an innovative all-round solution giving the customer a made-to-measure, single-source system with digital cameras specially matched to the DigitalMicroscope and image analysis and archiving software.
All the elements of the system are easy to operate due to a common user interface.
New software modules have been specially developed to meet the needs of high-end research scientists: with the Leica IM1000 software package, for example, the user can store not only the image of the sample under examination, but also the current microscope parameters.
These can then be reproduced later to enable exact comparison of sample images.
