Leitz Laborlux S microscope – Precision microscopy from Leica Microsystems
The Leitz Laborlux S microscope is an iconic model in the Leica Microsystems range, designed to offer performance, reliability and comfortable viewing on a daily basis. Building on the historical expertise of Leitz, this instrument combines robust mechanics with exceptional optics to enable detailed and reproducible analyses. Designed for research, teaching and diagnostic laboratories, it can be adapted to a wide variety of applications thanks to its exemplary modularity.
At the heart of the instrument, the achromatic or planachromatic optics provide a sharp, high-contrast image free of chromatic aberrations. Every detail of the cell or tissue being observed is revealed with remarkable clarity, enhanced by the integrated Köhler illumination, which ensures uniform light distribution across the entire field. Whether for bright field, phase contrast or polarisation examinations, the Laborlux S allows the instrument to be quickly and precisely configured as required.
Its mechanical system is based on a solid metal base and a stable arm ensuring smooth, vibration-free handling. The unit is completed by a coaxial displacement stage with lock, designed to facilitate navigation on the slide while maintaining stability. The fine and macro coaxial focus ensures progressive and precise focusing, even at high magnifications, while the interchangeable objectives, mounted on a rotating turret, allow immediate adaptation to the desired observation scale.
One of the strengths of the Laborlux S is its modularity: it accepts a wide variety of condensers, binocular or trinocular optical tubes, as well as accessories for fluorescence or microscopic photography. Its upgradeable design makes it a long-term investment that can be expanded as the laboratory's needs change. The ergonomics have also been designed with the user in mind: the controls fall naturally to hand and the settings are intuitive and reliable, even after years of use.
The Leitz Laborlux S microscope is the partner of choice for professionals looking for a versatile, accurate and durable instrument. It embodies German optical excellence in all its rigour, while offering a pleasant, reliable and consistent user experience. Whether used for histological sections, cell cultures or various biological materials, it is an indispensable tool in any demanding scientific environment.
