Fluorescence has long been established as an extremely important diagnostic tool in nearly all scientific disciplines and is now an integral part of routine diagnostics and fundamental medical and biological research.
To keep pace with the ever increasing requirements of a fluorescence microscope generated by new and constantly improved methods, e.g. in molecular genetics, Leica Microsystems dedicated to ongoing intensive research. As a result, we are able to offer state-of-the-art, application-oriented fluorescence microscopes covering the whole range of applications from the most simple routine examination to fully automatic, software-controlled multi-parameter fluorescence analysis.

Light Path
Top-quality Leica optics and a wide selection of filters for all classic and modern fluorescence techniques round off the performance spectrum of Leica fluorescence microscopy, making it the perfect solution for all microscope applications involving fluorescence.
Fluorescence microscopy has also been given significant new impetus by Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). This natural fluorescing protein offers completely new prospects for cell and development of biology, in particular. For example, it can be used as a reporter gene to visualize protein expression in cells as well as the location, transport and degradation of these proteins.
