Dear User,

We thank you for your faith in our product, and hope it brings you both enjoyment and success.

With the new fully apochromatic Leica MZ16 F from Leica Microsystems, you have purchased the best-performing, manual fluorescence stereomi- croscope on the market. The Leica MZ16 F and its motorized counterpart, the Leica MZ16 FA, provide the greatest zoom (16:1), the highest resolution (up to 840 Lp/mm), the highest magnification (115with standard optics), the largest numerical aperture (0.14), a patented illumination and filter system for the most intense fluorescence, and the innovative HL RCTM high-performance transmitted-light base for excellent contrast.

The entire imaging system, including the 16:1 zoom, objective and ErgoTube® is apochromati- cally corrected using with much technological effort. Contrast, sharpness, richness in detail, resolution, image and color fidelity are optimum. In addition, the patented illumination beam path guarantees at every zoom level that light utiliza- tion is at a maximum and that fluorescence images are intensely luminous on a jet black background.
