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][2][3]

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.[3]

Applications

The Leica S9 series is a stereomicroscope designed for inspection tasks. The instrument is employed in nanofabrication and characterization facilities for sample observation. The Leica S9 i integrated camera enables image capture and adjustment for documentation and analysis of specimens.[1][3]
