Leica Microsystems presents the new generation Leica DMI3000 B inverted microscope, specifically designed for live cell research applications. It offers convenience and configuration possibilities that are unparalleled in this class of manual microscope. The companys new, integrated incident light fluorescence axis produces brilliant images for all fluorescence techniques. The microscope also offers integrated modulation and phase contrast methods that do not require the use of special objectives. It is ideal for all manual fluorescence techniques. The system features a 5-position fluorescence turret for the fluorescence filter cubes. The companys Fluorescence Intensity Manager (FIM) regulates the illumination, as well as the aperture and field diaphragm and their centering.
