OPTICAL MICROSCOPY

Optical microscopes are available at OMCS for different stages of sample preparation and analysis.

Polyvar Reichert-Jung Optical Microscope

-  Bright field (BF), dark field (DF) and polarisation modules

-  Can be operated in reflective or transmission mode

-  Equipped with Leica Application Suite (LAS) for image acquisition, complemented with extended capabilities for specific applications:-

  • Multifocus: creates a single sharp image by capturing a stack of images at different focus positions and combining them automatically into an Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) image
  • Multistep: creates 2D images from multiple tiled images captured automatically. Single images can be retrieved and analysed with LAS Image Analysis
  • Montage and Montage Viewer: creates sharp 2D images from several partially in-focus images
  • Grain Expert: evaluates the properties of materials by analysing grain size to help determine the characteristics of the final product
  • Phase Expert: measures multi-phase microstructures indentified by their distinctive color or contrast in materials and metallurgy laboratories
Leica M165C Stereo Microscope

-  Equipped with Leica Application Suite (LAS) for image acquisition, complemented with extended capabilities for specific applications:-

  • Live Z Builder: constructs a single in-focus image if shallow depth of field provides only a partly focused image
