Leica Microsystems from Wetzlar (Germany) has not launched a Water Immersion Micro Dispenser that is easy to retrofit and can be used with water immersion objectives even for long term experiments of living organisms and screeening experiments in live cell research.

From a small water reservoir magnetically attached to the center of the objective nosepiece, water is automatically pumped into a water cap mounted on the objective. The compact design allows the utilization otf all nosepiece positions. The correction ring stays accessible and the full free working distance of the water objective is maintained. Due to the special design of the water cap, the water droplet remains in place, even for screening or mark and find experiments that involve a great deal of stage movement.

The water Immersion Micro Dispenser is designed for the Leica DMI6000 B inverted microscope, which is a component of confocal as well as high-end widefield systems. Leica Microsystems`continuing innovation in microscopy brings the benefit of high-resolution water immersion objectives to live cell applications at 37 C, long term and screening experiments.
