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.

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. 

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.

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

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 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. 

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 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 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 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.
