Upgradeable as needed, Leica DMi8 accelerates workflow via sample placement and changeover processes. Stage carries up to 30 kg, and location of optics below stage enables large sample sizes to be accommodated; sample height is not restricted. Once focused on stage, sample remains in focus throughout all different magnifications as well as while similar samples are imaged. Features also include step-by-step analysis guidance and macro objective that offers 35 mm field of view.
