Leica LED 1 (Direct connection)
The versatile solid-state light source offers white light or 4 individual colors in the 380-650nm range. Perfect for usage in combination with our routine microscopes DM2500, or DM4 B, for example
- Training-free and fast use – no need to start a software: Simply turn the knob to adjust intensity
- Improve signal-to-background thanks to manually switch from white to either of the 4 colors imaging
- Synchronize illumination with camera exposure and minimize photobleaching by triggeri
Leica LED 3
Connection via light guide basically to any fluorescence microscope.
Our most powerful LED light source for fluorescence.
- The LED3 is triggerable and offers white light in the 390-680nm range.
- Reliable data and less artifacts thanks to higher stability of light output
- Image low expressing fluorescence fusion proteins under physiological conditions with outstanding brightness
- Low phototoxicity and low photobleaching for long-term experiments thanks to synchronization of illumination with camera exposure by triggering the LED3
Leica LED 5 (via light guide)
For DMi8 and THUNDER inverted imaging systems.
The light engine is equipped with 4 powerful LEDs to cover the classic dyes and FPs.
- Perform high-speed multi-color imaging to maximize throughput
- Study fast biological processes and minimize photobleaching by triggering your LED5 with Synapse to synchronize illumination with other trigger-controlled system components
- High data quality for quantitative imaging and reproducible results thanks to the high output stability (electronically stabilized)
- Better physiology in long-term live imaging experiments due to lower UV light contamination
Leica LED 8 (via light guide)
For DMi8 and THUNDER inverted imaging systems
Get high-speed and high-throughput performance for your advanced applications such as ratiometric imaging when working with the LED8. It offers highest flexibility amongst the Leica LED light engines. It‘s the perfect companion for your DMi8 or THUNDER Imager 3D Cell Culture or 3D Live Cell.
- Maximize speed and minimize photobleaching by triggering your LED8 with Synapse to synchronize illumination with other trigger-controlled system components
- High data quality for quantitative imaging and reproducible results thanks to the high output stability and microsecond precision of on/off switching
- Perform ratiometric imaging with classical FRET dye combinations, e.g. CFP/YFP, take full advantage of the ever increasing number of available biosensors
- Better physiology in long-term live imaging experiments due to lower UV light contamination
