1.2 Description
Leica FluoCombi III™ is an accessory for the Leica
MZ16 F, MZ16 FA fluorescence stereomicroscopes
and allows for quickly switching between a stereo
objective and an HR (High Resolution) micro
objective. In stereo mode, the 1× plan and planapo
objectives offer generous viewing fields, large
working distances and an excellent depth of field
for manipulating and dissecting.
Micro mode allows for exactly identifying the
finest fluorescent features at a microscopic reso-
lution of 1500 pairs of lines/mm. The zoom is also
effective in micro mode so that the magnification
measures 460× using the 5× HR objective. Using
16× eyepieces results in a maximum magnification
of 736×. The comfortable binocular observation is
ensured in stereo and micro mode.
MZ16 F and MZ16 FA are high-performance stereo-
microscopes for fluorescence applications. The
patented, separate TripleBeam™ light path for
fluorescence illumination and the patented
FLUOIII™ filter system provide highest-quality
fluorescence images. Every existing instrument
can be fitted with the Leica FluoCombi III™ in a
few simple steps.
