The New Inverted Microscope for Routine and Laboratory Microscopy in Cell Biology and Medicine.

Optical performance and illumination are key elements in microscopy. Both characteristics are unified in the new design of the Leica DM IL LED. As the first inverted routine microscope, the DM IL LED is not only equipped with outstanding Leica HC optics, but also features innovative LED illumination.

The transmitted-light illuminator including optimized condensers and improved contrast methods are adapted specifically for cell biology applications. High stability, plenty of space for operation, large working distances, illumination without heat development and the separately accommodated electronics provide optimum conditions for microscopy. The DM IL LED is well-suited for uses ranging from various cell and tissue culture examinations in life sciences, developmental biology studies or micromanipulation in cell biology to living cell examinations in transgenics or electrophysiology.

Detailed Description:

All available contrast methods can be adapted to individual applications easily and quickly. Two condensers have been developed specifically for the Leica DM IL LED, which can be used for the entire magnification range of the respective contrast method. The high-resolution S40/0.45 condenser makes even tiny details of a specimen visible. Both condensers, the S40/0.45 and S80/0.30, allow for use of phase contrast up to the 63x objective as well as Integrated Modulation Contrast (IMC) up to the 40x objective.

Fatigue-Free Operation:

 The ergonomic arrangement of all controls such as the focus dial, brightness controller, condenser height adjustment, objective nosepiece and XY stage adjustment allow users to be relaxed while working with the microscope – even for hours. The height adjustable stages, Ergo tubes with variable tube height, flexible viewing height, and the interpupillary distance and diopter setting enable each user to configure his or her personal Leica DM IL LED. The large working distances provide sufficient room for large culture flasks, and the unobstructed view of the specimen area facilitates handling more difficult specimens.

Perfectly Illuminated:

The Leica DM IL LED is the first inverted routine microscope with LED illumination for the transmitted-light method. The compact illumination unit includes a precentered light emitting diode that has a service life of 50,000 hours. The LED, with a service life at least 250 times longer than that of conventional halogen lamps, is easy to maintain and very costeffective. The 10 watt power of the LED is completely converted into light while maintaining uniform color temperature. No unwanted heat is generated. Optionally, users can activate the integrated automatic shut off – an additional contribution to energy savings. In particular the phase contrast and IMC are optimized by the warm hue of the LED. With the help of the attachable filter, the illumination impression can be individually adapted in both directions of the color spectrum. The integrated collector attains optimum light utilization and the integrated aperture diaphragm creates optimum contrast and resolution for every specimen and every objective.

Capturing Every Detail:

 A large selection of tubes is available for the Leica DM IL LED. All tubes can be rotated individually by 360° and are equipped with a 1x tube lens and an eyepiece holder for HC optics. Apart from the Ergo Modules for variable height adjustment, Leica Microsystems offers a drawing attachment for special examinations and a discussion attachment for two observers. A large selection of TV adapters is available for a wide variety of camera types. Leica Microsystems' digital cameras offer many advantages for live cell microscopy. The product range includes everything from color cameras for various applications to monochrome camera systems for fluorescence applications. Leica Microsystems' digital cameras offer variable resolutions for live imaging; Resolutions range between 1.3 and 12 megapixels at a color depth of up to 14 bits per color channel.
