Leica MZ FLIII

Overview

The powerful Leica MZ FLIII fluorescence stereomicroscope opens up an almost infinite number of new possibilities for research and diagnosis of fluorescing specimens in medicine and biology, and for non-destructive testing and analysis related to industrial quality control and to forensic work.

  • Motor focus for repetitive tasks
  • Digital imaging systems, image management software, integrated analog video camera

The Leica MZ FLIII with patent (pending) fluorescence filter system enables unprepared fluorescing specimens to be non-destructively inspected, manipulated, sorted and recorded. Particularly in molecular biology and in gene technology this new observation technique offers ideal conditions for in-vivo and in-situ investigations of living organisms in real time. The Leica MZ FLIII also has its place in industrial laboratories (quality control, research, development). Its applications include the examination of cracks and surface defects; evidence of contamination, inclusions and foreign particles on masks, wafers and subassemblies; testing the solder paste on surface-mounted devices.
The Leica MZ FLIII with zoom 12.5:1 offers not only a 3D image but also, compared with a classical microscope at any given magnification, a larger field of view, more intense fluorescence, and longer working distances. Its maximum magnification of 640x and its high resolution of up to 600 line pairs / mm with the 1.6x planapochromatic objective, take its observation range into that of the classical microscope. These advantages make it possible to manipulate, sort and process specimens. The separate TripleBeam™ beam path for the fluorescence illumination pays off with intense fluorescence within the zoom range from 8x to 100x, and in the detail-rich, reflex-free images with jet-black backgrounds. The patented FLUOIII™ filter system allows super-fast changing of excitation and barrier filters. A wide choice of filters, including GFP, GFP Plus, GFP Plant, Texas Red, allows various fluorescence techniques.
For your fluorescence photography: With new digital cameras, video systems and the Image Manager, Leica Microsystems offers intelligent system solutions for image capture and management. The Leica Image Manager comprises various programs and options for archiving and post-processing electronic images at all levels up to a complex network solution. The Leica IM 1000 Image Overlay Module is primarily designed for fluorescence photography using a variety of color filters. Colors can be allocated either freely or according to a preset specification. Color intensity is individually adjustable. The system is ideal for multiple fluorescent images in botany, pharmacology, cell biology, genetics and viviology (human and animal physiology) and in pharmaceutical research.
