Live cell imaging and screening applications are mainly based on samples in aqueous solution. Water immersion objectives allow for aberration-free focusing into such specimens without loss of contrast.
However, water quickly evaporates at 37°C. Leica’s Water Immersion Micro Dispenser automatically adds water during a running experiment to provide stable water immersion.
Leica motCORR™ objectives are compatible with the adaptive focus control (AFC). The Leica DMI6000 B with Adaptive Focus Control (AFC) for live cell applications ensures that the specimen is actively kept in focus even under demanding environmental conditions.
