2. INTENDED PURPOSE OF THE MICROSCOPE
2. Intended Purpose of the Microscope
DMi8 Leica microscopes are inverted light microscopes
and are intended for use as general lab microscopes for
routine examinations of biological specimens.
The Leica DMi8 series can be used universally. All con-
trast methods, such as Brightfield, Darkfield, Phase
Contrast, DIC, fluorescence or modulation contrast,
are integral components of the microscope and can
be adapted or exchanged quickly and easily. Vari-
able illumination and imaging beam paths as well as
HCS optics, modular accessories and a wide range of available
peripherals supplement the inverted Leica research stand
from Leica Microsystems CMS GmbH.
