Leica THUNDER Imaging System with DMI8 Inverted Fluorescence Microscope and AFC (Used)
The Leica THUNDER Imaging System with DMI8 is a fully motorized, research-grade inverted fluorescence microscope optimized for high-speed, high-resolution imaging with real-time computational clearing. This advanced system includes Adaptive Focus Control (AFC) for continuous Z-stability and is bundled with a comprehensive suite of Leica imaging components including both monochrome and color cameras, motorized components, and LED light sources.
With integrated THUNDER GPU-based deconvolution, the system removes out-of-focus haze from thick samples, enabling clear, publication-quality fluorescence imaging — even deep within tissue sections. It is ideal for high-content imaging, live-cell fluorescence, organoids, and 3D cultures.
