Laser Microdissection Scope

The Leica Laser MicroDissection Scope (LMD 6500) is ideal for standard laser microdissection applications, e.g. reliable single cell or tumor isolation from soft tissue sections. It’s direct real-time laser cutting with “Draw and Cut” tissue ablation mode enables you to collect the interested sample directly from a special coated, energy absorbing glass slide. Laser microdissected samples can be collected by gravity to 0.2 ml (ID = 4.6 mm) or 0.5 ml (ID = 7.0 mm) PCR tubes without contamination. The field of view at 5x magnification is 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm.

Specification for Laser: Max. pulse energy: 70 µJ; Pulse frequency: 80 Hz; Wavelength: 355 nm; Laser aperture control: Yes; Section tissue thickness: 8 um is the best.

Specification for Fluorescence: The scope is equipped with an EL 6000 (mercury metal halide lamp) external light source and 4 filter cubes: A4 (360 nm), LMD (Triple, RGB), L5 (GFP, 480 nm), and TXR (Texas Red, 559 nm). You can choose any fluorophores from DAPI to Texas Red.
