Slide Scanner and IF Microscope

I did a fairly extensive review and demos of the Keyence BZ-X, the Fisher EVOS M7000, the Molecular Devices Pico, the BioTek Lionheart, the Nikon Ti2 Eclipse, and the Leice DMi8. The two best were the Nikon and the Leica, in terms of resolution, capability, and versatility. Both were at least 10x as fast as the Keyence, Lionheart, and Pico. The Leica and EVOS were only two to use CMOS optics. The EVOS was almost as fast (half as fast as the other two, at best) and had the advantage of being extremely affordable. But the resolution was just not as good, and we were looking for top speeds as this was to be a multi-lab purchase (thus the need for capability and versatility as opposed to best overall value). The Leica was cheaper than the Nikon, and I did love the increased speed, extreme modularity, and no need for a darkroom as it has an optional lightbox the blocks out the light. The reps were very accommodating and knowledgeable, and we were able to demo the instrument long enough for all the labs to use it. This was the only one demo'd that had NO negative feedback. We are in the process of purchasing right now, and with everything we've seen, are very happy to be adding it to our equipment.

Good performance

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Analyze animal components in feed

In our lab we use Leica microscope in order to test feed official control samples to control presence of animal components and comply de EU regulation. We are very satisfied with the performance of this microscope and we successfully test a lot of samples with good results

Application Area:

Cell morphology examination

Fits our experimental needs, with the recommendations from the manufacturer

Review Date: 14 Apr 2016 | Leica Microsystems Europe

We have very good microscopic images, that completely justify our expectations.

Application Area:

Analysis of snake venoms

Our microscope is a very good one, it absolutely meets our requirements. We got pretty good images both 2D and 3D using different fluorescent paints. The main difficulties of usage are the program nuances, that have been learned and accepted in 1-2 months. After the purchase we asked the experts of the seller company some questions and got answers to all of them, all the arisen problems were solved. The price is a little high, but it completely matches the quality and the opportunities we get.

  • See more – Increase your viewing area up to 10,000x
  • See faster – Experiments up to 5x faster
  • See the hidden – Activate, ablate, and bleach within one experiment

Activate, ablate, and bleach in one experiment

Add the Infinity TIRF and Infinity Scanner to your DMi8 S platform to maximize the versatility of your system. You can perform Super Resolution, TIRF and several photomanipulation tasks within one time-lapse experiment using up to 5 lasers. Sensitive light applications like optogenetics or photoswitching can be performed alongside more demanding tasks like FRAP or ablation. Combine techniques even further using the fully automated, super-resolution capable Infinity TIRF to analyze membrane dynamics.
