Outstanding Product Developments in High-tech Optics
Leica Microsystems is remarkable for its track record of nonstop innovations: The international company has already made technological history many times with its pioneering developments. Originating in the 19th century as a family firm in Wetzlar, the designer and producer of high-tech precision optic systems Leica Microsystems now belongs to the listed US Danaher Corporation. Right up to the present day, the company has remained true to the very principles that made Ernst Leitz I successful all those years ago: Close cooperation with customers, participation in scientific developments and their direct implementation in future technology. This has led to the creation of outstanding products at Leitz (later renamed Leica Microsystems), for example the first full binocular microscope, the first comparison macroscope for forensic applications or the world’s first fluorescence microscope.
Leica Microsystems has now won the coveted German Business Innovation Award three times - formerly known as the Innovation Award of German Industry - for milestones in optical development: in 1984 for the ELSAM acoustic microscope and in 2002 for the DUV objective for photomask and wafer fabrication. Only three years later, in 2005, the Innovation Award is again crowning one of Leica Microsystems’ product achievements: the high-end fluorescence microscope Leica TCS 4PI. For the first time, the TCS 4PI enables three dimensional examination and imaging of structures and processes in living cells at a resolution of down to 100 nanometers. |
