INTEGRATED MICROSCOPE SYSTEMS

The
LEICA
LMD7000 is a contamination-free, fully automated laser microdissection
system for targeted cell isolation using a UV diode laser. Single cells
or groups of cells can be microdissected from tissue sections, biopsies,
smears, cytospins, and cell cultures. The laser can be also applied for
intracellular and cellular ablation. Nuclei acids and proteins isolated
from the dissected specimens can be directed to molecular analyses such
as: sequencing, genotyping, PCR, real-time PCR, 2D gel electrophoresis
or MALDI. The laser microdissection system is based on the fully
automated upright research microscope, the ideal combination for laser
microdissection.

The
first application solution to combine the functions of a fully automated
inverted research microscope with those of electronic micromanipulators.
Both systems can be operated via the Leica AM6000 from a clearly designed
joint control box. We have integrated all the main controls of the two
basic instruments (microscope and micromanipulator) into one central unit
and matched the functions to each other. The result: improved operating
safety, reduced vibrations within the system and a considerable time saving,
both for work routines and for staff training.
