Leica
S9
The Leica S9 is a Greenough-type stereomicroscope with a 9:1 zoom and a magnification range of 6.1x-55x. The Leica S9 offers a field of view of up to 37.6 mm. The Leica S9 includes models with integrated camera capabilities, such as the S9 i, which supports USB, HDMI, and Ethernet connectivity.[1][2]
What it is
The Leica S9 is a stereomicroscope used for inspection and observation tasks. The Leica S9 series includes variants designated S9 D, S9 E, and S9 i, the latter featuring an integrated camera. The Leica S9 i model includes an integrated camera and supports connectivity via Ethernet, USB, and HDMI. The Leica S9 series Greenough stereomicroscope is available for use at shared instrumentation facilities.[1][3][2]
How it works
The Leica S9 i microscope can capture images via USB mode using a computer or via HDMI mode without a computer using an SD card. The S9 i operates in SD mode for image capture without a wireless device. In Ethernet mode, the instrument captures and adjusts images using a network connection. The microscope features a coded zoom knob that can be installed and calibrated within the LAS X software. The optional camera remote control can be used to view captured images and movies.[2]
