Leica DM6000 Upright Microscope

A completely motorized upright microscope for automated transmitted light (brightfield, darkfield, polarization, and DIC) and fluorescence microscopy. For fluorescence, an 8 filter turret may accommodate filter sets for UV, Blue, Green, Red, G/R, BGR, CFP, YFP, CFP/YFP, and CY5. The motorized Z-drive provides the conveniences of parfocality, saved focus stops, and automated positioning of various Z levels. Objectives include 1.25x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 40x, 63x, and 100x. Images are acquired with a Q-Imaging Retiga Xi firewire high-speed, 12-bit cooled CCD camera with an IR blocking filter.

Leica DM6000 Inverted Microscope

A motorized inverted microscope for automated transmitted light (brightfield and phase contrast) and fluorescence microscopy (filter sets for UV, Blue, Green, Red, G/R, BGR, CFP, YFP, CFP/YFP, and CY5). The Z drive is motorized, providing for parfocality, saved focus levels, and automated positioning of various Z levels. The lenses on the motorized turret include 10x, 20x, 40x, and 63x. Images are acquired with a cooled, 12-bit, Hamamatsu Orca-ER CCD digital camera.
