LED technology offers a great many advantages that are also of tremendous benefit in microscopy.
The Leica LED5000 NVI is extremely high-performance thanks to its two integrated high-output LEDs. The light is generated nearly parallel to the microscope's beam path and is thereby optimally aligned with the focal plane. This makes it particularly good for checking deep holes and bores.
The optional polarization set enables effective verification of high-gloss samples. The integrated filter insert makes it possible to adjust the light color to the user's habits. This means the light characteristic of a halogen light source can be produced.
If you are working with a high-performance stereo microscope with high-magnification objectives (magnification of 1.6x or 2.0x), the illuminator provides excellent illumination at the smallest working distances.
To document fissured samples with many corners, edges and recesses, you need a diffuse light source. Its light characteristic reduces shadows and does well at illuminating the digital images everywhere.
The diffuse illuminators of the LED illuminator series enable uniform illumination without bothersome shadow effects. They are particularly suited for documenting samples that are difficult to illuminate.
The illumination screen distributes light in all directions and produces a uniform light. Mounting it on a gooseneck gives you increased accessibility to the specimen. The flexible solution is ideally suited as a supplement for other illuminators and can simply be swung out of the way when not in use. The control element is mounted on a second gooseneck and can be easily positioned as the user desires.
The Leica LED3000 BLI provides an easy option for equipping a microscope system with a transmitted light function. The 36 integrated LEDs produce sufficient brightness even for demanding tasks with transmitted light.
The built-in diffuser disk ensures high homogeneity of the light with a large object field diameter of 77 mm. The illumination can be combined with standard baseplates with a recess having a diameter of 120 millimeters and can be used as an independent instrument without a baseplate.
The intuitive touch panel makes the Leica LED3000 BLI extraordinarily easy to use. The large work surface of 170 mm x 220 mm also makes it possible to work easily with large samples.

The LED5000 SLI spotlight illuminator, with its flexible two-armed gooseneck and integrated LED spotlights, makes it easier for you to adjust the contrast for incident light.
This facilitates sorting tasks in the lab and quality control in production, which require different contrast. Steep LED position for low contrast and more uniform illumination, or flat LED position for stronger shading and contrast.

The LED5000 HDI™ illuminator effectively blocks out ambient light and illuminates demanding surfaces with minimal reflections.
It is based on the concept of a dome illuminator and produces a very uniform light by means of the dome shape. The mechanically flexible design of the dome (Leica FlexiDome™) with silicone rubber eases your access to the specimen.
You save yourself a lot of time, since the specimen can be aligned in a focused state.
The highly diffuse, low-contrast illumination optimizes the dynamic range and therefore is excellently suited for critical image acquisitions such as LAS Montage or Leica StereoExplorer applications.
Leica FlexiDome™: Access to the specimen remains guaranteed even in a focused state. This eases repositioning of the specimen and saves a lot of time.
Better and repeatable results: Optimization of the dynamic range often makes new information visible. This usually leads to improved results with digital image processing
Highly diffuse illumination: The indirect, uniform light illuminates difficult surfaces with minimal reflections.
The Leica LED3000 RL ring illuminator guarantees bright, uniform illumination of the specimen over a large object field at a constant color temperature. This is achieved by using the latest generation of LEDs, but above all by using the focusing lens specially developed by Leica.
The compact design makes for easier side access to the various specimen.
With the control of individual segments (half rings, quarter rings), you can achieve different contrasts and thereby gain additional information from your specimen.
The Leica LED3000 MCI™ for routine stereo microscopes provides unique multi contrast illumination to identify hard-to-find details on your samples or specimens.
Four LED spotlights are arranged in two arcs and induce different, repeatable contrast from 2 different directions and angles. Through this process the movable illuminator arcs can be adapted to different configurations.
Compared to the LED3000 SLI (spotlight illuminator), the LED3000 MCI is even more compact and the contrast adjustments are reproducible. This is advantageous if the same workpieces or specimens must be examined frequently.
Spotlight illuminators are very useful for all kind of applications, where different contrast for reflected light is important.
The LED3000 SLI spotlight illuminator includes two integrated LED spotlights on flexible goosenecks, which makes these adjustments very fast and easy.
Oblique LED positions provide stronger shading and contrast sand highlights uneven surfaces. High-angle LED positions deliver lower contrast and more uniform illumination.

The high-quality and compact Leica LED2500 illumination system was developed for the Leica microscopes of the S series, M series and DMS series.
It combines the stand with a bright incident light and transmitted light; the segments can be controlled jointly or individually. The stand is easy to transport and takes up only a small amount of space.
The 4 predefined incident light scenarios produce different contrastsand enable fast and convenient operation. With the transmitted light there is not only uniform transmitted illumination over a large area, but also a targeted transmitted light function. This makes it possible to view structures with low contrast.
