# Belongs to category:
Illuminators

# Description and specifications:
Universal Leica EPI reflected light illuminator (catalog number 565015) for Leica DM L series microscopes:
- Leica DMLB
- Leica DMLS
- Leica DMLM

This microscope element allows expansion of a transmitted light microscope with a module for reflected light (EPI) observation:
- brightfield
- darkfield
- polarized light
- fluorescence
because this is exactly a "universal" illuminator.

The set includes a reflector cube for reflected light brightfield work. This is the Leica 1 BF 561034 cube (alternative number format: Leica 561 034).

Basic technical parameters of the Leica 565015 universal EPI reflected light illuminator:
- 4 filter cubes (reflectors) can be installed, for example brightfield BF (already installed here), darkfield DF, fluorescence cubes
- 4 round filters with 32 mm diameter can be installed
- a light source must be installed
- a polarizer and analyzer can be installed
- mounting connection to microscope body: 44.5 mm dovetail
- head mounting connection: 44.5 mm dovetail

The Leica 565015 EPI illuminator is modular and can be configured according to individual requirements. The example shown and offered here is a basic version which must be completed according to the user's own needs (however the "Leica 1 BF" reflector is already installed).

NOTE - as visible in the photos and in the video, the cover flap (protective cover) which covers the rotating turret with filter cubes (reflectors) is missing.

# Examples of use
- if you have an Leica DMLB, DMLS lub DMLM microscope and need an EPI illuminator for it
- if you already have such an illuminator but it is damaged or in very poor condition
- if you want to mount this reflected light illuminator on another microscope
- if you want to build your own DIY device
