Outstanding illumination in any situation: with its TL3000
ST (brightfield), TL4000 BFDF
(bright-/darkfield), TL4000
RC™ / TL4000
RCI™ (Rottermann Contrast
™technology) and the new flat
TL5000
Ergo (automatic, zoom dependent contrasting) transmitted-light bases, Leica
Microsystems is introducing a series of bases specially designed for a variety
of stereo and macroscope applications from documentation of single cells to
screening of whole animals.
The
Leica TL3000 ST transmitted-light base is the
allrounder of the line. Its integrated, innovative halogen illumination system
guarantees perfect conditions for viewing transmitted-light specimens. Thanks
to its modest power consumption, base and specimen warming has been reduced
significantly.
The
Leica
TL4000 BFDF darkfield base is suitable for observing stained amplitude
specimens. With its rapid switching between bright and darkfield as well as its
sensitive deflection mirror adjustment, the base is optimal for
semi-transparent specimens such as embryos.
With their innovative Rottermann Contrast
™ technology,
the
Leica TL4000 RC™ and TL4000 RCI™ transmitted-light bases permit refractive index variations to be displayed as
differences in brightness. This relief effect provides a wealth of variations
that allow the maximum amount of information to be obtained from any specimen.
Together with the automated
Leica
M205 A or
M205
FA stereomicroscopes, a computer and the
Leica
Application Suite (LAS) or the Leica Application Suite Advanced Fluorescence
(LAS AF), many steps of the workflow can be automated for major gains in
efficiency and time savings.
The new flat LED
powered
Leica TL5000 Ergo defines
new standards in reproducibility and automatic contrasting. The homogenous
field of view with its 65 mm diameter is optimized for single cells to whole
animal examinations. The base has an integrated zoom dependent automatic
aperture, which exclude diffuse light in brightfield to increase contrast. By
displacing the light source out of the beam paths, perfect oblique illumination
in Rottermann contrast
™ appears. Furthermore, each contrast mode is coded and
automatized, resulting in complete reproducibility and full controllability via
the Leica LAS or LAS AF software.
The transmitted-light bases truly play out their
strengths when combined with their accessories. The Leica mechanical stage, for
example, noticeably simplifies day-to-day laboratory work with its low profile
and precise X and Y control. Heating stages, adapters for micromanipulators and
the entire Leica Live on Stage product line open a full range of applications
previously beyond the capabilities of stereomicroscopes.
