Photography & Video

For most microscope users, digital documen- tation has become an invaluable part of their work. Research results can be presented in an attractive manner; measurements on the digi- tal image provide clarity and, in conjunction with the motorized IsoPro™ cross-stage, even images of large specimens can be captured step by step and automatically joined to create a new complete image.

Adapter

If camera control using the Leica Application Suite is not required, conventional mirror reflex and rangefinder cameras from third-party manufacturers can be used. For this purpose, Leica Microsystems offers a variety of adapters that can be used together with the 50% and 100% trinocular tubes.

Leica DFC cameras

However, if you require absolute control over the camera and need the capability for measurement, evaluation and more in addition to photography, the digital Leica DFC cameras are exactly right for you. Together with the Leica Application Suite, they provide virtually limitless freedom of use. For additional informa- tion about Leica cameras, refer to the camera's documentation.

Leica Application Suite

The "Leica Application Suite", or "LAS" for short, is, as it were, the digital extension of the Leica M series microscopes. In addition to capturing images, it lets you control the microscope, illu- minator, stages, cameras and more. For addi- tional information, refer to the LAS online help.
