Leica Z6 APO A & Z16 APO A, motorized apochromatic 6.3:1 and 16:1 zoom systems
Automatically more productive!
16 June 2006: For high-precision inspections from manufacturing to integration in machine vision systems, industry leader Leica Microsystems introduces the first and only apochromatically corrected and motorized zoom systems to the market—the Z6 APO A with 6.3x zoom and Leica Z16 APO A with 16x zoom. The highest level of imaging performance of the optics combined with motorized functions guarantees higher productivity, 100% test reliability, and better products. Ultimately, these qualities secure the future of a company among international competition. The Leica Z6 APO A and Z16 APO A are clearly superior to other zoom systems with regard to contrast, image sharpness, color fidelity, detail richness and image precision. They meet all requirements for first-class analyses, measurements, polarized optical examinations, and digital and video documentation. In contrast to other zoom systems, Leica Z6 APO A offers the highest numeric aperture—0.117 nA (resolution 351 Lp/mm) with the 1x planapochromatic objective and 0.234 nA (resolution 702 Lp/mm) with the 2x planapochromatic objective. With 115x magnification in the standard configuration (1x planapochromatic objective and 10x wide-field eyepieces), the Leica Z16 APO A is the zoom system with the largest zoom range. Using 10x and 20x microscope objectives allows for total magnifications of up to 460x and a resolution of up to 1350 Lp/mm. The motorized zoom, iris diaphragm and fine focus functions allow many inspection and documentation tasks to be automated, and are particularly well suited to experimental setups for high-tech developments. For example, images can be calibrated automatically, acquired in a database, and reference scales—such as measurement graticules or µ bars—can be integrated directly in the image. Sequential photographs can be repeated in a timesaving manner using the PC control system, and the optional motorized focus can be used to move to testing positions with the highest precision, increasing productivity many times over. Leica Z6 APO A and Z16 APO A offer accessories and interfaces for problem-free installation in bonders and specimen instruments and feature the largest accessory program for all types of testing, education and documentation tasks. Together with the correct stands, illuminations, binocular and video/photo tubes, motor focus, state-of-the-art CCD cameras and much more, Leica Z6 APO A and Z16 APO A are perfect for measurement, documentation and analysis in the QA lab. http://www.stereomicroscopy.com/leica_z6_apoa http://www.stereomicroscopy.com/leica_z16_apoa
