Discover the precision of the Leica DMi8 Inverted Microscope for your live cell research. Offering unparalleled imaging capabilities, increased viewing areas, and fast acquisition speeds, the Leica DMi8 is the researcher’s choice for advanced microscopy. Elevate your scientific investigations with the DMi8 today.
Description
The Leica DMi8 Inverted microscope takes you beyond configuration restrictions. With the freedom of a completely modular system, you can create the perfect system for your needs. With the Leica DMi8, you only buy what you need.
If your application would benefit from autofocus or 3D images, you can integrate a motorized focus drive into an otherwise manual system. Or if you need to image in multiple colors, start with a motorized filter wheel and manual focus. With hundreds of possible combinations, you can create the best-customized solution for your work.
The Leica DMi8 microscope is a versatile and advanced imaging platform designed for various scientific fields, particularly live cell research. It is a modular, inverted microscope system that is part of the DMi8 S platform solution, providing a complete set of tools for routine to complex live cell experiments. It can track the development of single cells, screen through multiple assays, and achieve single molecule resolution.
The DMi8 is known for its increased viewing area, rapid image acquisition, and precise control, essential for in-depth biological research and analysis. With options for customization and expansion, the DMi8 system can cater to a wide range of microscopy needs, from basic observation to high-end research applications.
The Leica DMi8 Inverted Microscope allows for:
1、Live Cell Research: It provides a complete solution for tracking the development of cells over time, screening through assays, achieving single molecule resolution, and observing complex cellular processes1.
2、Advanced Widefield Research: It can high-speed control and advanced imaging with features like Infinity TIRF and software capabilities that support in-depth live cell imaging studies1.
3、Enhanced Viewing: With the ability to increase the viewing area up to 10,000 times, the microscope’s software module, LAS X Navigator, allows researchers to obtain a comprehensive overview of samples and set up high-resolution image acquisition automatically1.
4、Speed and Efficiency: Experiments can be conducted up to five times faster due to the LAS X Synapse advanced sequencer, which coordinates system components for rapid imaging and precise control of the system with micro-second precision1.
5、Precise Control: It offers the ability to add additional devices for specialized applications and high-speed experiments, allowing for detailed analysis of an organism’s response to stimuli, which is essential in dynamic live cell experiments1.
