What Your Stereo Microscope Has To Offer You - Leica Ivesta 3 Series User Manual

What Your Stereo Microscope has to Offer You

The optical system of the Ivesta 3 Series stereo
microscopes consists of two beam paths
converging at 10°. The objective pairs of each
optical path are positioned close together, so
the stereo microscopes can be of very "slen-
der" design, especially 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, unobst-
ructed 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 all Ivesta 3 Series microscopes
the optimum corrected center of the objective
ensures high image quality. This provides supe-
rior optical performance with large, level and
undistorted fields of view and chromatically
optimized, high-contrast images.

Patented FusionOptics Technology
The Ivesta 3 Series features the Leica patented
FusionOptics technology and deliver you finest
details in 3D. While the right channel delivers
you a high-resolution image at the largest
possible numerical aperture, the left channel
presents an image with high depth of field. This
results in an image perception with outstan-
ding richness of details and exeptional depth of
field at the same time.
Photography
Ivesta 3 (C-mount) is equipped with an inte-
grated video/phototube, which allows the
simple, fast mounting of digital cameras.
Ivesta 3 (Integrated camera) has USB ports
that allow saving files on USB thumb drive and
sharing via network and allow image sharing
via Ethernet connection.
Introduction
Apochromatic correction
The Ivesta 3 Series is a completely apochro-
matically corrected Greenough system. The
modern optical technology of the Ivesta 3
Series corrects chromatic aberration perfectly,
removes bothersome color seams and displays
pin-sharp images of even the finest enlarged
detail. Contrast, brilliance, image sharpness,
resolution, color fidelity and image precision
are unsurpassed.
The benefit of apochromatic correction is best
seen in specimens that have a fine, low-contrast
structure such as large animal cells, cilia plants
or metallic microelectronic structures.
The technical features of the individual models
can be found in chapter "Technical Data",
page 56".
