high-resolution, fully integrated image analysis workstation with a powerful and extensive set of image processing capabilities. Designed to ensure the highest possible precision and reliability for quantitative microscopy, the Leica Q550 IW has unlimited potential and performance with a specification that can be tailored to meet your application needs.
Leica QWin, at the heart of the Leica Q550 IW, provides image processing and measurement functions. Leica QWin can use virtually any imaging technique, including Leica microscopes, which can be fully automated. Leica QWin gives professional results, performing objective and consistent analysis of representative samples, whilst significantly reducing user time and effort.

The capabilities of any imaging workstation are defined by customer selectable configurations. The systems use the latest PC environment, which is adaptable in terms of performance and specification. The Leica Imaging Workstations are compatible with a range of monochrome and colour CCD TV and digital cameras, which offer unrivalled performance, providing maximum flexibility in terms of resolution and sensitivity.
The Leica Q550 IW has unrivalled performance and is best suited to applications requiring rapid analysis or high sample throughput with unsupervised operation. The quick and easy integration of any Leica microscope can be combined with automation facilities to allow rapid and consistent analysis of representative samples, without taxing an operator's endurance and objectivity.

Since images from the two beam paths of a stereomicroscope are from slightly different perspectives it is possible to extrapolate quantitative 3-D measurement values from these images. Leica Stereo Explorer automatically creates 3D data records from two 2-dimensional stereomicroscope photographs on your monitor. From this data, profiles can be extracted and roughness or undulationcan be determined with high precision. In addition, actual to projected area ratios (fractal dimension) and volumetric calculations of depressions and elevations can be made.
Once images are captured from each stereomicroscope image path, Leica Stereo Explorer uses an algorithm to associate related pixels from both images. The result is a real 3-D image. Next, the associated optical data (objective working distance, magnification, pixel size, etc.) are used to assemble a topographical surface model. This is a complete 3D data record and serves as the basis for a variety of different surface analyses.

Two versions of the Leica Stereo Explorer are available. For those users interested in Leica M-series Stereomicroscopes with manual zooming and focusing, the Stereo Explorer for non-automated scopes (part #33007032) is required. When using this version, current microscope magnification is entered by hand. The second version of the Stereo Explorer supports the Leica MZ16 A motorized stereomicroscope. Dubbed the Stereo Explorer for automated scopes (part #33007033), this version can automatically control the microscope zoom and focus for the fastest, most ergonomic use.
