The first thing was to put my Lab assistant Nicholas on the job. And lookey here what I got from the nice UPS man yesterday. I couldn’t take not having a camera on my A60S, so I pulled the trigger and bought a Leica S9I. But it turns out that since I bought the Leica A60S, Leica had developed a new instrument called the Leica S9I (I stands for integrated camera).

But after I talked with them about it, I didn’t really feel like it was a good solution for me as it attached over the eye pieces. So I did a little bit of research and realized that Microscope Central had developed a camera attachment for the A60. As I talked about the features etc, I started really wishing that I had a camera. It turns out that Leica never intended for it to have a camera, and in fact there is no good way to attach one.Ī couple of week ago, I started talking with a friend who is getting into electronics about it. The only thing that I really really wished that it had was a camera. If you have been following my articles, I am sure that you have seen it in the background of some of the pictures. It is a remarkable instrument… and it is amazing how much better you can see while using it.

This was truly a game changing event in my engineering life, particularly the soldering part of my life. A few years ago I bought a Leica A60 microscope from Microscope Central. The article is the story of my new Leica S9I microscope.
