Leica LAS Multifocus

The Leica Application Suite Multifocus module easily acquires extended depth of field images by providing fully integrated control of microscopes with motorised focus. The automatic acquisition of Z-Stack images, combined with intelligent image combination algorithms, makes the capture and storage of sharply focused images an undemanding process. Use is automated which means that there is minimal need for operator intervention however, settings can be easily modified to suit a wide range of sample types in fields such as material science, forensics, bioscience, and earth sciences.

Key Features

• The Leica Application Suite Multifocus module provides:
• A workflow orientated User Interface with simple interactive means for defining the Z range to scan.
• Total microscope and digital camera control in a fully integrated manner.
• Automatic acquisition of extended depth of field images from Leica motorised microscopes.
• A gallery of Z-Stack images directly visible so that focus changes can be easily visualised.
• Alignment of images from microscopes where images are displaced by focus position

Detailed Description

LAS Multifocus Detailed Description

The LAS Multifocus module is designed to acquire extended depth of field images from Leica motorised microscopes. Exposure, gain, shading and all other camera parameters can be individually set to optimise the quality of image acquisition. Once digital images have been collected at different Z-positions they are intelligently combined into one single sharp EDF image that massively extends the depth of focus. A gallery of the Z-Stack is available from which individual images can be immediately selected and displayed in the main image window. This means that specific images can be located and viewed quickly and easily. Additionally the annotation facilities make the LAS Multifocus Module a perfect solution for creating data rich presentations and reports. LAS is based on Windows PCs and provides a cost-effective and uniform environment, compatible across the Leica range of microscopes and cameras. Furthermore, images may be exported for additional processing.
