Description
Fluorescence technique
Some substances fluoresce when irradiated with
light.. This property is utilized in the fluorescence technique, in which certain structures and features which do not fluo- rescence can be tagged with a fluorescing dye.. An example is
Stereo-fluorescence
With Leica fluorescence systems you can complete unprepared fluorescing specimens to be
dimensions, manipulated, sorted and recorded .. The intense light emitted by the
differentiatedand expands the amount of information revealed by the
Fluorescence stereomicroscope
The Leica MZ10 F with 10:1 zoom is the routine stereo microscope for fluorescence applications.. The patented sepa- rate beam path (TriBeam™) for the fluorescence illuminator and the patented filter system (FLUOIII™) together produce excellent fluorescence images..

Safety concept
Before you set up the instrument and before you fit the fluorescence illuminator, read:
•this user manual, observing the notes relating to safety
•the user manual for your stereomicroscope, observing the notes relating to safety and care..
