Leica DMI3000 B: The Versatile Inverted Research Microscope for Life Sciences
The Leica DMI3000 B is an inverted research microscope designed to meet the needs of scientists in the life sciences. This versatile microscope supports a wide range of imaging techniques, including transmitted light, fluorescence, live-cell imaging, live-streaming imaging, high-speed multi-fluorescence optical sectioning, and micromanipulation. Thanks to its features and ergonomic design, it offers an exceptional user experience while ensuring precise and reliable results.
The Leica DMI3000 B is distinguished by its ergonomic tube, whose viewing angle can be continuously adjusted to suit the user's height and interpupillary distance. This feature ensures optimal comfort, even during long work sessions. In addition, the integrated viewing channel between the eyepieces allows clear observation of samples, regardless of the tube position. This feature is particularly useful for precise manipulations, such as the use of micro-tools such as needles or probes.
The microscope is equipped with various transmitted light illumination options, including manual condensers with different working distances, suitable for techniques such as phase contrast, differential interference contrast (DIC), modulation contrast, and polarization contrast. These options allow users to choose the most appropriate method for their samples, ensuring optimal image quality.
For fluorescence applications, the Leica DMI3000 B features a 5-position fluorescent filter turret, compatible with standard and custom filter cubes. Leica's Fluorescence Intensity Manager (FIM) automatically adjusts illumination intensity and aperture and field diaphragms to optimize images and protect samples from photobleaching. The filter cubes are also equipped with light traps to reduce background light, ensuring a perfectly black background.
The Leica DMI3000 B is also designed for micromanipulation, with a slim micromanipulation stage that allows for easy adaptation of micromanipulators. The S28 and S40 condensers provide sufficient working distance for micromanipulation, while the S70 condenser is available for even greater working distances. The microscope is compatible with a variety of mechanical, electronic, and hydraulic micromanipulators, providing maximum flexibility for micromanipulation experiments.
In terms of environmental control, the Leica DMI3000 B can be equipped with various accessories to maintain optimal experimental conditions. Heating inserts and temperature control units allow temperature regulation from -20°C to +60°C, while CO2 and oxygen control units ensure constant pH and oxygen concentration levels. Climate chambers are also available to enclose the entire microscope system, ensuring stable environmental conditions for ongoing experiments.
The Leica DMI3000 B is a versatile and high-performance inverted research microscope, ideal for life science research laboratories. With its features, ergonomic design, and compatibility with a wide range of accessories, it offers a complete solution for the most demanding imaging applications.
