For most microscope users, digital documen-
tation has become an invaluable part of their
work. Research results can be presented in an
attractive manner; measurements on the digi-
tal image provide clarity and, in conjunction
with the motorized IsoPro™ cross-stage, even
images of large specimens can be captured
step by step and automatically joined to create
a new complete image.

Adapter

If camera control using the Leica Application
Suite is not required, conventional mirror reflex
and rangefinder cameras from third-party
manufacturers can be used. For this purpose,
Leica Microsystems offers a variety of adapters
that can be used together with the 50% and
100% trinocular tubes.

Leica DFC cameras

However, if you require absolute control
over the camera and need the capability for
measurement, evaluation and more in addition
to photography, the digital Leica DFC cameras
are exactly right for you. Together with the
Leica Application Suite, they provide virtually
limitless freedom of use. For additional informa-
tion about Leica cameras, refer to the camera's
documentation.

Leica Application Suite

The "Leica Application Suite", or "LAS" for
short, is, as it were, the digital extension of the
Leica M series microscopes. In addition to
capturing images, it lets you control the micro-
scope, illuminator, stages, cameras and more.
For additional information, refer to the LAS
online help.
