About the instrument

The Leica DMI6000B  is a wide-field fluorescence microscope equipped with an OkoLab cage incubation system that can provide optimal conditions (growth temperature, CO2 level and humidity for live cell cultures) for monitoring cellular events for a longer period of time.

Fluorophores inside the object of interest can be excited with an external light source (EL6000 metal-halide lamp) and a wide variety of filter cubes enables the appropriate detection of the fluorescence signal.
