Light Microscopes

Light microscopes from Leica Microsystems meet the highest demands whatever the application – from routine laboratory work to the research of multi-dimensional dynamic processes in living cells.

THUNDER Imaging Systems

Decode 3D biology in real time*. THUNDER Imagers allow a clear view of details, even deep within an intact sample, in real time without out-of-focus blur. Sharp imaging of 3D specimens is now as easy as working with your favorite camera-based fluorescence microscope. (*in accordance with ISO/IEC 2382:2015)

Stereo Microscopes & Macroscopes

Stereo microscopes and macroscopes from Leica Microsystems enable you to view, analyze and document your specimens in two and three dimensions. When combined with crisp LED illumination, high-performance digital cameras and easy-to-use Leica Application Suite software, these imaging systems provide powerful solutions for precise analysis and documentation.

Confocal Microscopes

Confocal microscopes from Leica Microsystems are partners in top level biomedical research and surface analysis in material science applications, offering unprecedented precision in three-dimensional imaging and exact examination of subcellular structures and dynamic processes.

Microscope Objectives & Leitz OEM Optics

For more than 160 years Leica Microsystems has designed and produced top-class objectives for a wide variety of applications in research, industry and medicine. The innovation power of Leica Microsystems' optical designers and the experience and expertise of Leica Microsystems' precision optical engineers come together to provide microscopes with the best optics possible. A sophisticated, state-of-the-art production process yealds objectives that guarantee superlative image quality.

Used Microscopes & Imaging Equipment

Microscopes and scientific equipment from Leica Microsystems never come cheap - and adequately so: Years of experience have gone into their development and they are made to last. We are aware that budget plays a role in all fields of research, industry, and medicine. Used microscopes and equipment are always an option to go for - now you can buy tried and tested Leica microscopes and accessories such as cameras or illumination directly from us as a manufacturer.

Surgical Microscopes

What does a surgeon expect from a first-rate surgical microscope? – Top-class imaging quality and the greatest possible freedom of movement.

Optical Coherence Tomography

Leica Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) systems support ophthalmologists, ophthalmic surgeons, and researchers with easy-to-use, high-quality imaging technology. The preclinical OCT solutions provide insight into eye disease research, while the clinical OCT systems serve as an aid in diagnosing pathological conditions. Each system is non-invasive, contact-free, and helps detect and monitor morphological changes of ocular tissue.

Digital Microscopes

Digital microscopes are microscopes without eyepieces. A digital camera acts as a detector. Images are displayed on a screen or monitor, turning the microscopy workstation into an ergonomic computer workplace.

Electron Microscopy Sample Preparation

When it comes to great results, stunning performance or breakthrough discoveries, you will find one thing that all of them have in common: their precise and careful preparation. Especially in the field of electron microscopy, perfect sample preparation is a prerequisite and crucial step.

Microscope Cameras

Microscope cameras from Leica are particularly remarkable for their fast live images, short reaction times, high resolution and clear contrast. And they are compatible with almost all Leica microscopes and macroscopes.

Microscope Imaging Software

Microscope imaging software from Leica Microsystems combines microscope, digital camera and accessories into one fully integrated solution. With an intuitive user interface and straightforward navigation, it guides the user through any workflow, whether fast image acquisition or sophisticated expert analysis. A range of specific modules allows configuration of the microscope as a dedicated high-performance tool for almost any application.

Super-Resolution Microscopes and Nanoscopes

Super-resolution microscopes and nanoscopes overcome the diffraction limit of light and allow investigators to study subcellular structures in greater detail than achieved with a standard confocal microscope. With the possibility of resolutions down to 30 nm with STED as well as sub-cellular dynamics can be studied at the nanoscale. Sub-diffraction colocalization analysis reveals interactions unprecedented detail. Enabling novel discoveries to be made in the fields of virology, immunology, neuroscience and cancer, super-resolution is on its way to becoming the new gold standard in light microscopy.
