What Your Stereomicroscope Offers You
The optical system of the Leica StereoZoom®
line consists of two beam paths converging at
12°. The objective pairs of each optical path are
positioned close together, so the stereomicro-
scopes can be of very "slender" design, espe-
cially towards the base of the instrument. The
advantages of this design are that it has a small
space requirement for use on bonders and in
machine applications, unobstructed access
to specimens, plenty of space for tools and a
completely clear view of the object field.
The Greenough system enables cost-effective
correction of aberrations such as chromasia,
image field curvature, and distortion with mini-
mal effort. In the new Leica StereoZoom® line,
the optimum corrected center of the objec-
tive is used for the image. This provides supe-
rior optical performance with large, level and
undistorted fields of view and chromatically
optimized, high-contrast images.
Leica S Series
Photography
The StereoZoom® Leica S8 APO B model is
equipped with an integrated video/phototube,
allowing for easy, quick digital camera assem-
bly (Leica MC170 HD).
User Manual
Apochromatic correction
The Leica S8 APO B is a completely apochro-
matically corrected Greenough system. The
apochromatic optics correct chromatic aberra-
tion perfectly, remove bothersome color seams
and display pin-sharp images of even the finest
enlarged detail. The contrast, brilliance, sharp-
ness, resolution, color fidelity and image preci-
sion are unsurpassed. The benefit of apochro-
matic correction is best seen in specimens that
have a fine, low-contrast structure such as large
animal cells, cilia plants or metallic microelec-
tronic structures.
The technical features are found on page 44.
