Leica AS LMD Laser Microdisection System

Leica AS LMD Laser Microdisection SystemLeica upright microscope has motorized objective nosepiece, motorized specimen movement (xy), motorized focusing (z).

The nitrogen laser has a wavelength of 337nm, a pulse repeat rate up to 30Hz and motorized optical beam scanning and setting of the illumination aperture

Software controls microscope functions and laser movements such as displaying the microscope image on the PC monitor using 3CCD camera, display of "Incision path marking" with correction facility and an Inspection Mode to control the result of the dissection. The smallest cutting area with the 100x objective has a diameter of 4-5mm and an accuracy of +/- 0.6mm.
