Leica Microsystems is launching the Leica DMi8 inverted microscope with built-in modularity that can grow and adapt to ever-changing research needs. With this new concept, life scientists can custom-configure an inverted microscope now and upgrade it in the future for applications ranging from basic imaging to advanced fluorescence microscopy. The Leica DMi8 is equipped with an additional incident illumination port, the Infinity Port, which facilitates the integration of additional light sources and laser systems for advanced applications. The closed-loop focus drive with an accuracy of 20 nm for the 12 mm travel range enables researchers to investigate large specimens with high precision. In combination with Leica Microsystems’ imaging software the Leica DMi8 is an optimal solution for live-cell microscopy.

“The Leica DMi8 is an open and freely configurable inverted research microscope which meets the current and future needs of life scientists in a single platform,” explains Leica Microsystems Product Manager ...
