Leica MacroFluo – User manual
Dear User,
Thank you for your faith in our product. We hope your work with it is both
enjoyable and successful.
Leica MacroFluo™ with zoom 6.3:1 or 16:1 are worldwide the only macro docu-
mentation systems for fluorescence. The MacroFluo™ concept combines the
advantages of macroscopy – large fields of view, large working distances,
parallax-free and precise imaging – with fluorescence technology (including
multi color fluorescence) at a high resolution. For this purpose, we combined the
excellent optics of the apochromatic zoom systems Leica Z6 APO (6.3:1 Zoom)
or Z16 APO (16:1 Zoom) with the brilliant Leica fluorescence technology. The
Leica MacroFluo™ systems are the correct choice to examine and digitally
detect the effects of a gene defect on living transgenic models from the size
of a whole mouse at highest precision and resolution in an intensively fluores-
cent image field.
In developing our instruments, we place great value on simple, self-explanatory
operation. However, please take the time to read the user manual and the oper-
ating safety information to become familiar with the advantages and options of
your Leica MacroFluo™, so that you can use them optimally and safely.
Should you have any questions, please consult your local Leica representative.
You will find the address of the closest local representative as well as valuable
information about products and services from Leica Microsystems on our home-
page at www.leica-microsystems.com
We are gladly at your service. Customer service is a big thing with us – before
and after the sale.
