Leica LED3000 / LED5000 - ICCO

Leica LED3000 / LED5000The energy-saving system solution for integrated incident light illumination in stereomicroscopy

Living up to Life

The highly compact Leica LED3000 RL ring ight uses latest-generation LEDs and a

focusing lens specially developed by Leica. Microsystems This increases the

brightness and homogeneity of the illumination. The Leica LED3000 RL is well-

suited for a variety of routine applications. Conveniently adjustable segments (full,

half, quarter ring) provide new data about the specimen without having to move it.

• Very compact design offers easier side access to the specimen

• For objectives with a 58 mm diameter

• Very uniform illumination of large object fields

• Latest-generation white LEDs for high color fidelity

• Extra information gained by adjustable segments

• Optional control of all functions via Leica Application Suite (LAS) software

• Accessories: diffuser and polarization set

• Optimized for working distances from 65 mm to 150 mm

Leica LED3000 RL with diffuser – more uniform illumination, reflections are reduced

The Leica LED3000 NVI™ is used above all for viewing recesses and bores (see fig-

ures), since the light strikes the specimen nearly vertically. Unlike a coaxial illumi-

nator, for example, it even illuminates weakly reflecting and uneven specimens.

• Ideal for viewing recesses and bores

• A highly efficient light guide produces a higher image brightness than with a conventional 150W halogen lamp

• Simple operation through minimized shadows caused by tools

• Even light through 2-point illumination

• Compact design – great accessibility to the specimen

• Optional control via Leica Application Suite (LAS) software

The Leica LED5000 RL ring light illuminates specimens very brightly with 48 LEDs

simultaneously and provides uniform light. This makes the Leica LED5000 RL a uni-

versal illumination solution for various applications. Conveniently adjustable seg-

ments (full, half, quarter ring) provide additional data about a specimen without

having to move it. The controls (brightness and segment controls) are comfortably

accessed on the ring light itself and allow fatigue-free work for hours.

• Very uniform illumination of the specimen

• Brightness comparable to 150 W halogen illumination

• Extra information provided by adjustable segments


• Reproducible illumination settings save time

• For objectives with an 80 mm diameter (0.63× and 1.0× planapo-chromatic)

The Leica LED5000 MCI™ (Multi Contrast Illumination) is a one-of-a-kind lighting

solution for applications in which, until now, gooseneck illuminators had been

used. The flat angle of the oblique incident light creates a particularly high contrast

for viewing the specimen, which allows the user to detect minute unevenness and

faults, e.g., scratches and dust particles (see image). In contrast to a gooseneck

illuminator, the settings of the Leica LED5000 MCI™ are fully reproducible.

• Nine high-performance LEDs

• Different illumination angles and directions deliver high contrast

• Detection of fine structures on the specimen

• Left and right illuminator arcs are movable


• Reproducible illumination settings save time

The Leica LED5000 HDI™ illuminator is based on the concept of the illumination

dome. Its dome shape produces a very uniform light, while it simultaneously blan-

kets ambient light effectively and thus also illuminates difficult surfaces without

reflections. Particularly metallic surfaces frequently overextend the contrast range

of digital cameras. The strong reflections make it practically impossible to obtain a

balanced image of the specimen.

The Leica LED5000 HDI™ illuminator provides an extremely uniform, indirect light

that has a constant illumination intensity. The uniform light distribution prevents

the appearance of shadows and reflections.

Leica FlexiDome™ in its down position:

• Diffused all-around illumination suppresses reflections and shading as much as possible

• Stray light / ambient light is eliminated

• Constant illumination intensity

Fixed dome illuminators, commonly used for machine vision applications, have a

big disadvantage in microscopy: access to the specimen is inconvenient. With the

Leica LED5000 HDI™, Leica Microsystems has developed the first flexible dome il-

luminator for stereomicroscopes (Leica FlexiDome™). Simply by lifting the illumina-

tor, the specimen becomes accessible and can be rearranged without adjusting

the focus. When folded up, the Leica LED5000 HDI™ supplies a light characteristic

comparable to a circular neon lamp. Moreover, the soft silicon rubber protects the

user and specimen. The Leica LED5000 HDI™ is controlled either using the built-in

membrane keyboard or LAS (Leica Application Suite) software.

• Maximum accessibility and realignment of the specimen

• Light characteristic similar to a circular neon lamp

Integration into complete Leica system:


• Reproducible illumination settings

The Leica LED5000 CXI™ is a coaxial illuminator that combines the benefits of LED

technology within the smallest space: long service life, bright illumination in natu-

ral light quality, plus integration into LAS software with fully reproducible illumina-

tion settings.

• Ideal for flat, reflective or polished specimens

• Significantly brighter illumination than comparable 150 W halogen lamps

• No quarter-wave plate required for stereo viewing

• Brightness is controlled directly on the illumination unit

In the Leica LED5000 / LED3000 family, the complete illumination system is integrat-

ed with the overall Leica system. Focusing columns with integrated electronics

bundle and process all digital signals and send them to the Leica Application Suite

(LAS) software. All data is read out by the software, saved along with the captured

image, and can be recalled at any time. Recurring experiments can be reproduced

in the future with just a few mouse clicks.

Various illumination scenarios can be selected in LAS, e.g., two LED arcs of the

Leica LED5000 MCI™. Next, you can select the speed at which the illuminator

switches between the scenarios. The specimen is then automatically illuminated

from different perspectives.

Note:As LEDs age, they lose their brightness, but very slowly. By definition, the service life corresponds to the number of operating hours it takes to reach approx. 50% of the original brightness. This does not mean that the illuminator no longer functions. For applications in shift operation, we recommend roughly estimating the year‘s operating hours to get an idea of the expected service life of an LED illuminator.
