Leica DMI6000 B software: Precision inverted microscopy for research
The Leica DMI6000 B is an inverted research microscope designed to meet the highest demands of biological analysis. It is intended for tissue and cell examination, micromanipulation, microinjection, microdissection, and confocal microscopy. Its design allows for universal use thanks to the integration of all contrast methods: bright field (BF), dark field (DF), phase contrast (PH), differential interference contrast (DIC), polarisation (POL), fluorescence (FLUO) and integrated modulation contrast (IMC).
The system is fully automated, with objective recognition and automatic adjustment of light intensity, aperture diaphragm and field diaphragm. This intelligent automation allows for quick and accurate changes to observation parameters, ensuring optimal reproducibility of results.
Modular and ergonomic design
The DMI6000 B stands out for its modularity. It is equipped with an electronic support integrating a motorised fluorescence axis with a six-position filter cube changer. It offers several observation ports (side, top, bottom) with adjustable light distribution (100%, 80%, 50%). The ergonomic tube is adjustable in height and angle (10° to 45°) and can be equipped with a Bertrand lens for fine adjustments.
The motorised focusing system offers a 9 mm travel range with five focusing steps ranging from 0.05 µm to 5 µm. It incorporates an electronic repositioning function and automatic parfocal compensation. The motorised magnification changer offers up to three positions (1x, 1.5x, 2x), ensuring maximum flexibility for imaging.
Software compatibility and specialised accessories
The microscope is compatible with Leica Application Suite (LAS) software, allowing complete control of the microscope and camera, image acquisition and component configuration. It has multiple interfaces (USB, RS232C) for connecting external devices.
The DMI6000 B can be equipped with several types of stages: fixed, heated, temperature-controlled, for micromanipulation, or motorised. It accepts a wide range of Leica objectives with M25 thread and 45 mm parfocal distance. Motorised and coded condensers allow for quick change of contrast methods, with a seven-position turret.
