Filter Cubes and Fluorochromes

Modified or entirely new investigation methods and technical advances in filter production make periodic replacement of filters a necessity.

Leica Microsystems constantly updates and adapts the systems to match the latest developments in technology and newest applications on the market. For example, new high performance systems have been added to Leica’s standard filter cube range which cover all currently known requirements of multi-color fluorescence (e.g. selective excitation and observation).

Thanks to Leica’s zero pixel shift technology, there is no pixel shift in the single images of the various spectral ranges on the screen when switching between filter cubes.

Special filter cube combinations can also be assembled to customer specifications (with filters of other manufacturers) to comply with zero pixel shift requirements, provided that the filters of other manufacturers meet certain minimum quality standards.

Leica EL6000 External Light Source for Fluorescence Microscopes

The Leica EL6000 external light source for enhanced fluorescence imaging connects via a liquid light guide to all Leica Microsystems’ upright, inverted, and stereo microscopes. The Leica EL6000 keeps heat away from the specimen and microscope and uses an alignment-free, mercury metal halide bulb with an extremely long lifetime of more than 2000 hours. This reduces operating costs and saves the time it takes for centering lamp housings. The Leica EL6000 has an integrated fast shutter, which is fully supported by the Leica LAS AF software.

Leica Multiviews

The modular, multi viewing systems from Leica Microsystems offer an outstanding image quality for each viewer thanks to their all glass optics with precision coatings. The accessory attaches to a microscope and allows multiple users to simultaneously view the same specimen achieving a real sense of working with a microscope. Standard systems are available for 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 users, and custom systems with up to 20 viewing stations can be delivered according to customers’ specifications.
