General Description

The Leica LMD6500 is the laser microdissection system of choice for contact­ and contamination­free dissection and specimen collection simply by gravity. The Leica LMD6500 uses optics to guide the laser beam for the highest cutting speed and precision of the laser, independent of the stage. The maintenance­free, long­life, diode­pumped solid state laser (355 nm) is freely adjustable for many types of specimens USING the following parameters: Laser aperture, Laser offset and Laser power with a minimum pulse energy of 70 µJ.
