Microscope overview

The Leica DM5000B is an automated upright widefield fluorescence microscope ideal for imaging FISH or other fixed fluorescence slides. The microscope is prepared for brightfield, phase contrast, DIC and polarization contrast techniques (check objectives list for contrast method availability). It has a monochrome CCD camera for fluorescence image acquisition. If you want to image live samples and/or perform time-lapse experiments check out the Zeiss Axiovert 200M or the Zeiss Cell Observer instead. If you need a color camera for brightfield images, try the Leica DM2500.
