Leica DM5500

Overview

The DM5500 is a high quality semi-automated upright wide field microscope capable of either fluorescence, brightfield/ DIC or both.

It is equipped with a full range of objectives, monochrome and colour cameras and filtersets to enable fluorescence imaging of up to four distinct channels from UV to far red excitation. Filters, condenser and z drive are automated, allowing multichannel, z stack imaging to be performed.

The system utilises two separate camera systems for colour and monochrome imaging.

Imaging Modes:

• 2D (xy) or 3D (xyz) multichannel
