Large range of applicationsEven though the new 20x 1.0 objective makes electrophysiologywith one single objective possible, sometimes this isn’t enough. Indevelopmental biology, there is a clear trend towards imagingeven larger organs and organisms, calling for different specialapplication objectives. The Leica DM6000 CFS offers maximumflexibility in a multi-user environment to cater to everyone’sneeds. A high precision adapter is available, allowing to replacethe single objective with an electronic 6x objective nosepiece.The patented change of objectives works vibration-free, withautomatic power switch-off to avoid disturbing measurements.For each objective, the focus position can be programmed. Thus,by simply pushing a button, a quick change between the magnificationscan be achieved even in the near infrared without losingthe area of interest, implementing automatic parfocality.Exchangeable nosepieceFeatures and BenefitsTop: Zebrafish eye (courtesy of: Carl Neumann, EMBL).Right (from top to bottom): Platynereis larva (courtesy of:Raju Tomer, EMBL, Heidelberg, Germany).
