LEDs light up Leica microscopes

The LED illumination series LED5000 and LED3000 have been designed for high-end stereo microscopes and routine stereo microscope systems, respectively. Both series have spotlight, ringlight, and multicontrast illumination modules available. Lifetimes up to 50,000 hours nearly eliminate downtime. The LEDs save up to 90% of the power required by a 150-W halogen lamp. The LED5000 series can communicate with Leica Application Suite (LAS) software to save illumination settings with captured images and performing recall when needed.
