Materials Characterization and Analysis Service-Leica DM 6B

Introduction

Specifications:
1. Imaging Modes:
1) Transmitted light- Brightfield, Polarized Light, Phase Contrast (with 10×, 20× objectives), DIC (with 40×, 63× objectives)
2) Fluorescence-LED light source with filter sets for DAPI, GFP, Cy3, Cy5, CFP, YFP, Texas Red
2. Objectives:
1.25×/0.04, 2.5×/0.07, 5×/0.15, 10×/0.32, 20×/0.55, 40×/0.60 dry, and 63×/1.4 oil immersion. The 40×/0.6 is a dry objective with long working distance and a correction collar for window (coverglass) thickness adjustment, and allows high quality imaging through up to 2 mm glass window.
3. Camera:
1) Leica DM4500 5-megapixel color camera
2) Leica DFC9000 GT sCMOS, highly sensitive, low noise camera for weak fluorescence signal
3) Stage: The microscope scanning stage combined with image stitching allows large samples to be imaged or the entire microscope slide at high resolution.
4. Software:
LASX software: Multi-channel, time lapse, Z-stack image acquisition, large area scanning, image stitching, autofocus.
