This Leica Digital Microscope is absolutely beautiful. Just came
out of a very nice facility that recently closed. Loaded with
features, was told this setup cost over $20,000!! Options include
air stage on top of the regular stage and Leica DC 500 camera.
Here is some information from Leica:
OVERVIEW:
The first thing you will notice about our new automated Digital
Microscopes is their new design: clear, attractive contours. Our
new Leica DM Digital Microscope series provides the answers to
many of our customers' requirements, including fluorescence. One
of the most frequently voiced requests was to lighten the
workload. So we found ways of doing a lot of the work for you.
You can operate the microscope intuitively and easily automate
complex routines to suit your specific needs.
Intelligence:
Our new Digital Microscopes automatically recognize the
contrasting technique and objective that are currently in use.
There's no need to adjust diaphragms - either in transmitted or
in incident light. Unless you choose to.
The light intensity is automatically set to the light-gathering
capabilities of the objectives. This means that the brightness of
the specimen image remains constant when you switch to a
different objective - and there's no danger of glare. Because
every task has its own specific requirements, you can adjust the
light intensity individually.
Too dark for viewing - too bright for your digital camera: a
white balance used to be necessary every time the lamp voltage
was changed. The new transmitted light axis works with a colour-
neutral brightness control which automatically maintains a
constant colour temperature. You will no longer need to use
neutral density filters to compensate for changes in light
intensity.
Comfort:
Our new adaptable tube can be perfectly matched to your body size
and posture. You can reach the focus knobs with your hands
resting on the table. The w stage allows simultaneous focus and x-
y movement control. So no matter what you are examining, you are
completely relaxed - even if you sit at the microscope for hours
at a time. We have designed the new stages to satisfy the most
demanding applications: the entire stage surface is ceramic
coated and features telescopic stage drives with individually
adjustable torque. The standard stages are on ball bearings for
precise rotation around the optical axis. They are suitable for
one to two specimens and are available in a version for left-
handed operation.
You can assign any function you like to the six new function
keys. Due to their convenient position behind the focus wheels,
frequently used functions are always within easy reach. We had
your comfort in mind.
Brilliance:
Five New Vsiewing Tubes for Pin-Sharp Images. match our new
Digital Microscopes, we have devised a viewing tube series that
will meet the highest requirements. Our new documentation tubes
(which can be motorised on request) have three switching
positions and are fitted with either one or two camera ports.
The new adaptable tube can be optimally adjusted to your needs.
And of course, you'll also find an ergonomic tube with
documentation port in our product range.

Leica DC 500 Digital Camera
Overview:
The Leica DC500 digital camera system allows versatile use
of all modern microscopic procedures in research, development,
medicine, science and industry. Leica DC500 digital cameras, with
12 million real pixels and a colour depth of 42 bits RGB, take
difficult pictures of objects in extremely poor light, e.g. with
weak fluorescence.
KEY FEATURES:
Real 12 megapixel resolution and real 42 bit RGB colour
representation by means of microscanning 4 Shot Mode of 1030 x
1300 pixels (1.3 megapixel) to 3090 x 3600 pixels (12 megapixels)
Perfect picture and colour quality with minimum noise even in
very low fluorescence. Precise reproduction of extremely fine
details and colour nuances in highlights and shadows. No colour
fringing, moir effect or blooming. High dynamic range allows
reproduction of extremely dark and bright parts of picture
Exposure times from 1/4000 second to several minutes
5 binning stages to increase transmission rate, Rapid online
picture for convenient monitoring of picture composition,
Reference standard for exact reproduction of colour standard.
TWAIN Plug-In with convenient live image display and processing
functions, Simple and rapid integration of picture data in
graphics programs and picture management systems, Rapid data
transfer via Standard FireWire IEEE 1394 interface, Simple
adaptation to any microscope, Compatible with picture management
consumables Leica Image Manager and analysis consumables Leica
QWin
DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
With the Leica DC500, the demanding user can now use the full
resolution of a top-quality research microscope for work
involving digital documentation and analysis.The most modern
camera and consumables technologies, such as microscanning,
multishot, cooled Progressive Scan CCD Sensor, Binning, Shading
and much more, ensure excellent detail and picture quality in
real colour without interference through noise, moir effect,
blooming or colour fringing.Beside convenient operation, the
camera's control program also allows the processing, analysis and
archiving of digital pictures. Together with the modular picture
management consumables Leica Image Manager and the analysis
consumables Leica Qwthe advantages of digital technology can be
used in numerous applications in scientific photography and
microscopy, and handled more efficiently and economically.
