Field volume as a new quality criterion in stereomicroscopy

28 Aug 2026

This whitepaper examines the concept of field volume as an important performance metric in stereomicroscopy and how Leica’s FusionOptics™ technology enhances productivity in routine inspection and assembly applications. Discover how combining a wide field of view with increased depth of field enables more components to remain in sharp focus simultaneously, reducing refocusing and specimen movement. Explore the optical principles behind FusionOptics™ and how improved field volume can support greater accuracy, efficiency and user comfort in manufacturing and quality control workflows.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

Lab equipment for light microscopy includes confocal microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, zoom and stereo microscopes. Microscope slides and imaging reagents are available for visualizing samples, as well as various microscope stages and incubators for large or temperature-sensitive samples.
