Permitted uses

With the Leica MZ16 F fluorescence stereomicro- scope, entire fluorescent specimens can be examined three-dimensionally and unprepared, manipulated, sorted and documented. The sepa- rate beam path for the fluorescence illumination in the Leica MZ16 F as well as the very bright high-pressure mercury burner and specially selected filter sets enable you to distinguish the finest structures and enhance the quantity of information for incident light fluorescence. Spe- cial filter holders also enable observation without fluorescence in transmitted light or incident light.
