Leica MacroFluo
Fluorescence Stereomicroscope

Leica MacroFluo
Overview

Leica MacroFluo fluorescence stereomicroscope introduces the world of fluorescence to macroscopy and vice versa and lets you experience anew dimension of brilliant images of the highest possible precision. For this purpose, we combined the excellentoptics of our apochromatic Leica Z6APO (6.3:1) and Z16APO (16:1) zoom systems with brilliant Leica fluorescence technology. The result: the first and only macro documentation systems for fluorescence and images of a uniquesharpness, precision and depth of information.

The unique feature of the Leica MacroFluo fluorescence stereomicroscope concept is the combination of large working distances and fields of view of a stereomicroscope with the vertical optical path typical of microscopes. Unlike stereomicroscopy with two conver-gent optical paths, it guarantees absolutely parallax-free imaging and maximum precision when examining whole, living models. The result is much greater accuracy in digital image processing, analysis and measurements.

Large specimens - high resolution

The Leica MacroFluo fluorescence stereomicroscope can be equipped with the apochromatically corrected zoom system of your choice: Leica Z6 APO with 6.3:1 zoom or Leica Z16 APO with 16:1 zoom. Magnifications, field diameters and working distances can be adapted to the task at hand with planapochromatic 1×, 2×, 0.8×, 0.5×or 5× objectives.

Macro and micro

With the planapochromatic 5×HR (high resolution) microscope objective, the Leica MacroFluo fluorescence stereomicroscope system delivers a previously unattainable wealth of information. Magnifications of up to 225×( 6:1 zoom) or 575× (16:1 zoom) can be achieved with a resolution of 1500 Lp/mm. The optional fine focusing drive is recommended for precise focusing at such high magnifications.

Intense luminosity at all zoom settings

The coaxial fluorescence illuminator provides extremely bright, homogeneous fluorescence of outstanding quality, even at low magnifications. The field automatically adjusts to match the field of view when zooming.

Leica MacroFluo Key Features
  • Basic magnification range is 7.1x to 115x with a 10x eye piece
  • The apochromatic 6.3:1 and 16:1 zoom systems are harmonized with the utmost Leica precision to HC optical system components such as eyepieces, trinocular HC photo tubes and photo/TV adapters. As aresult, the corrective effect of the system as a whole is maximized to create optimal conditions for precise measure-ments, analyses and image processing
  • Fluorescence technology is constantly opening new, interesting possibilities forthe visualization and analysis of gene expression in chicken embryos, mice,zebrafish and Xenopus, as well as in transgenic virus and bacteria concentrations. It permits the study of soil samples, cells and surfaces of plants. Development processes in cells can be visualized, as can capillary flow, nerve tracts and tumorgrowth in mice
  • The Leica MacroFluo system is a modular design that can be equipped with two different zoom systems and optical accessories for a range of different tasks
