Cost-effective, Leading

Edge Technology

Microscopes and imaging systems by Leica Microsystems are
highly regarded by technology companies and scientists world­wide. Innovative, high-quality, and precisely manufactured instru­ments offer users a technological edge, increased performance
capacity, and greater success in their work. With the Stereo­Zoom® line, Leica Microsystems presents a comprehensive ste­reomicroscope product range for a wide range of applications.

Leica StereoZoom® – the complete stereomicroscope line

Choose the best optical performance for current and future tasks
from among six models and an extensive range of accessories.
Application areas served by the StereoZoom® line range from
quality inspection during manufacturing and assembly, OEM inte­gration and training, to advanced analysis and documentation
for R&D. The StereoZoom® models Leica S4 E, S6 E, S6, S6 D, and
S8 APO, including the stand and cold light source, are encased in
a patented antistatic housing. For inspecting highly sensitive
electronic components, an electrostatic-dissipative model, the
Leica S6 T, is also available.

The optical system of the StereoZoom® line con-

sists of two beam paths converging at 12°. The

objective pairs of each optical path are posi-

tioned close together, so the stereomicroscopes

are slim in design, especially toward the base.

The advantages of this design are the small

space requirement for use on bonders and in

machine applications, unobstructed access to

sample, plenty of space for tools, and a com-

pletely clear view of the object field. The Gree-

nough optical system enables the correction of

aberrations such as chromasia, image field cur-

vature, and distortion with minimal effort. The

StereoZoom® line uses the optimally corrected

center of the objective for imaging. The result:
superior optical performance; large, level, and

undistorted fields of view; and chromatically

optimized, high-contrast images.

Fully apochromatic, economical research stereomicroscope

The one-of-a-kind Leica S8 APO is the first stereomicroscope on
the market with a fully apochromatically-corrected Greenough
optical system. This unrivaled instrument offers outstanding reso­lution of 600 lp/mm (approx. 1 micrometer) and maximum magnifi­cation of 640×. Never before has such high performance been
available in a cost-effective instrument with a Greenough optical
design.
