Inverted Microscopes for Industrial and Materials Inspection

Perform industrial and materials inspection and measurement quickly and efficiently with modular inverted microscopes from Leica Microsystems. High-performance optics, intuitive controls and easy-to-use software minimizes the need for extensive training and saves time during your everyday work.

Microscope imaging software from Leica Microsystems combines microscope, digital camera and accessories into one fully integrated solution.

With an intuitive user interface and straightforward navigation, it guides the user through any workflow, whether fast image acquisition or sophisticated expert analysis. A range of specific modules allows configuration of the microscope as a dedicated high-performance tool for almost any application.

The latest software platform, LAS X, encompasses all microscope solutions for Life Science and Industry applications, offering maximum flexibility. The previous Leica Application Suite continues to be supported.

LED illumination from Leica Microsystems provides cool, natural color light for a various incident light applications. LED technology also consumes lower power and lasts longer compared to halogen lamps saving energy and money. Whether you are looking for uniform, high-contrast, coaxial, highly diffuse, or nearly shadow-free illumination, Leica Microsystems provides a broad spectrum of LED illuminators for your application or task.

The Time Has Come for Imaging Systems That Allow You To Tackle Easily Biologically Relevant 3D Models: THUNDER Imagers.

To answer important scientific questions, they enable you to obtain a clear view of details, even deep within an intact sample, in real time without out-of-focus blur. Sharp imaging of 3D specimens is now as easy as working with your favorite camera-based fluorescence microscope. THUNDER Imagers with Computational Clearing define a new class of instruments for high-speed, high-quality imaging of thick, 3-dimensional specimens.

The THUNDER Technology

THUNDER is an opto-digital technology that uses the new Computational Clearing method to generate high resolution and high contrast images. Computational Clearing removes the typical haze inherent to all widefield images of thick samples. It produces brilliant results for large image stacks, as well as single images taken deep in your sample.

THUNDER, a Leica technology, automatically takes all relevant optical parameters into account in order to achieve haze-free results in real time.

The LUMiFrac is an innovative adhesion analyser, which employs centrifugal forces to determine temperature-controlled tensile as well as shear strength.

It employs centrifugal forces to stress multiple samples at once. It provides adhesive and tensile strength as well as shear strength as an absolute physical quantity in N/mm² (MPa).

The LUMiFrac accomplishes this by directly applying an incrementally increasing centrifugal force to the specimen being tested. It determines with high resolution the RPM at the moment of fracturing (employing Centrifugal Adhesion Testing Technology).

All data is transmitted to the well-known and popular operating software SEPView, which automatically calculates and displays the critical force/strength of failure in real time. Furthermore, it allows to analyze, compare & calculate statistics and combine results for up to tens of samples. Related data, as figures of fracture pattern, may be taken into account as well.
