Fluorescence microscopy at the highest level
The Leica MZ16 F 16:1 stereomicroscope and FluoCombi III™
16 June 2006: With peak performance in every area, the new Leica MZ16 F is the best stereomicroscope for all fluorescence procedures in the biotech lab. It has the widest zoom range (7.1x to 115x), highest resolution (840 lp/mm), fully apochromatic optics system, brilliant TripleBeam® fluorescence technology and the latest accessory: the Leica FluoCombi III™ for efficiently sorting and dissecting in 3D as well as analyzing and documenting with a 5x planapochromatic high-resolution micro-objective.
The new manual Leica MZ16 F and the motorized Leica MZ16 FA are the world's most powerful fluorescence stereomicroscopes. Because of its unmatched optical performance and quality of fluorescence, the Leica MZ16 F is the ideal research and lab instrument. It is equally well suited for demanding fluorescence microscopy examinations and for analyzing and documenting in biology, medicine, chemistry, electronics, geology, archaeology, astronautics, cosmetics, pharmaceutics, agronomy, criminology and many other fields. Equipped with a 2x planapochromatic objective, the Leica MZ16 F offers the best optical performance of all fluorescence stereomicroscopes: 920x magnification, resolution of 840 line pairs/mm, 600 nm visible structural width and 0.282 NA (numerical aperture). Even when performing in-depth analyses, the step of moving the sensitive specimens to a light microscope can, in many cases, be omitted.
The Leica MZ16 F is the only fluorescence stereomicroscope to offer apochromatic correction and the only fluorescence stereomicroscope to provide high-quality multi-coating on the entire lead-free optics system, including the zoom and the binocular tube. Its resolution, detail-richness, brilliance and color fidelity are unsurpassed, and it is possible to distinguish clearly even critical areas of the specimen with a similar refraction index. The Leica MZ16 F is the only fluorescence stereomicroscope with TripleBeam® fluorescence technology. In this technology, the excitation light is guided through a separate third beam path. This provides extremely high light efficiency, and even structures with low fluorescence appear
intensely luminescent on a jet black background. The FluoCombi III™ accessory allows the user to switch quickly between a planapochromatic stereo objective and a planapochromatic 5x HR (High Resolution) micro-objective. With just one instrument, the specimens can be sorted in the 3D overview, then immediately characterized at microscopic magnification (up to 920x) and resolution (up to 1500 line pairs/mm).
When working with the Leica MZ16 F, the user is completely protected from UV radiation–by the UV aperture protection in front of the specimen plane as well as the UV barrier filter, UV shutter, aperture protection, and many other features. Ergonomics accessories, including the motorized focus, transmitted light base with innovative Rottermann Contrast™ technology, and high-resolution Firewire cameras for fluorescence, provide a variety of ways for the user to adapt the Leica MZ16 F to his or her needs and tasks.
