Intended application The new DMIRB is the logical further development of the successful inverted research microscope from Leica. It is used for examinations of cells and tissue, for micromanipulation and microinjection tech- niques all the way through to microdissection or confocal microscopy. The DM IRB has universal application potential, incorporating all the contrasting techniques of brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast, DIC, fluorescence and Hoffmann modulation contrast, which are all eas
