Leica TL RC

Contrasting method for clear, transparent specimens

The Rottermann Contrast™ technique is a partial illumination technique that shows the changes of the refractive index as differences in brightness. Phase structures then typically appear as spatial, relief-type images – like hills in the positive relief-contrast and as indentations in inverted relief contrast.

Together with the new Leica cold light source CLS150 LS, the TL RC™ enables the internal shutter to be controlled directly via the connected PC.

Detailed Description

In combination with the motorized Leica stereomicroscopes and macroscopes, motorized focus and the Leica Application Suite (LAS) software, you are able to exercise full control via the computer over the zoom level, focusing, color temperature, brightness and shutter of the illumination. A large number of test series can thus be extracted from the Leica Application Suite (LAS) software and automated!

Three filter slots for images in any situation
Three slots are provided for color filters in the transmitted-light bases TL RC™ and TL RCI™. These can be used for the filters that are available as an accessory, i.e. neutral gray, fluorescence filter BG38 and UV filter, or fitted with other filters as the customer wishes.
