1Effortless Microscopy is a Question of ComfortWith the new Leica DM Microscope Series, Leica Microsystems has achieved its goal ofmaking routine work at the microscope as comfortable and effortless as possible. Only a fewhand movements are required to adjust the microscope to the user’s seated height, headposture, arm length, and hand size. This provides reliable protection from muscular tension,poor posture, and long-term detrimental health effects. Microscopy has never been morecomfortable and pleasant.21. Height-adjustableFocus Knobs3. True SymmetricalOperationA technological first in microscopy!No two hands are alike and the Leica DMSeries makes sure that every hand can reston the focus knobs in a completely relaxedmanner. The height of the focus knobs canbe adjusted quite easily to precisely fit anindividual user’s hand. This prevents hand,arm, and shoulder tension and ensures acomfortable and fatigue-free grip – withoutthe need for additional arm supports.Comfortable shoulder posture prevents strainThe stage drive and focus knob are arrangedat the same height on the microscope toform a straight line. Also, the focus knob andstage drive are an equal distance from theuser. Because of this symmetrical arrangement, both hands are positioned in a straightline during work and the shoulders automatically assume a right-angle position to theaxis of the body. The user sits at the microscope in a straight and relaxed posture, andno longer needs to contort his or her shoulders and spinal column into an awkward,turned position.2. Adjustable Tubes44Relaxed head postureThe arrangement of the tubes is very important to promote good posture while sitting atthe microscope. The Leica DM Series offersa wide range of products for individual tubesettings. Choose from a new tube with anergonomic viewing angle of 15 or adjustableVariotubes for a relaxed head position whileviewing. This prevents neck and back muscle strain, and shoulder and lower neckmuscles remain free from tension, even overlengthy work periods. The optional ErgoLifteven allows the viewing height and angle ofthe stand as a whole to be adjusted asrequired.4. Fast Changeover fromRight- to Left-handOperationOne-of-a-kind in microscopy!You can set up the Leica DM Microscopesfor either right-handed or left-handed operation as the default. Especially when alternating users on one microscope, this featureis greatly beneficial.

5. UniqueUltra-hard Surface7. ErgonomicControl KnobsDesigned to last a lifetimeThe stage’s surface is made of a newceramic material that is harder than everbefore. This makes the stage resistant toscratches and chemicals, and completelydurable for even the toughest usage foryears on end. The light beige color of theceramic material provides the ideal background on which to identify specimens bytheir outline and coloring before they areplaced under the objective.Comfort is at handAs an alternative to the standard knobs,special rubberized knobs are available forthe focus drive. These ErgoKnobs provide acomfortable, secure grip. For the knobs ofthe x-y drive, replaceable sleeves made ofsoft, yet firm rubber are recommended. Thesleeves are included with the stage drive andare simply pulled over the knobs to providethe feeling of sensitive control.6. New DesignMore work spaceThe new ergonomic stage features wellrounded edges and corners. The entiremicroscope is compactly designed, with noprotruding parts. Another advantage of thecompact design is the additional work spacethat is gained around the microscope.578. Comfortable ErgoLiftVariable height adjustmentTo adjust the height of the entire microscopein a simple and stable manner, the DM1000,DM2000, DM2500 and DM3000 can beequipped with the ErgoLift – a specialadjustable plate that adjusts the microscopeto the seated height of each user with just afew hand movements.8DifferentialInterference ContrastFluorescenceHistochemistryOptical contrast methods like Darkfield, Polarization,Phase or DIC provide brilliant images.High intensity fluorescence with zero pixel shift for all kindsof probes and labels. 5 positions are available.Best contrast for auto-immune reactions.The brightness can be reduced with theintegrated N4 filter.5

9Elegant Design for Efficient, High-quality WorkMore performance, higher throughput, and better workflow: Three important benefits, oneperformance requirement. Today’s laboratories have to work at maximum efficiency. Thisrequires instruments with well-engineered functions down to the smallest hand movements,which allow users to work quickly and smoothly. The new Leica DM Series is thoughtfully andelegantly designed to provide these benefits.10111269. Simultaneous Focusand Stage Control11. Premiere: Color-codedDiaphragm SettingsOne hand at the microscope will sufficeThe focus and stage can be adjusted withjust one hand. This allows faster, betterflowing procedures. While one hand (left orright) moves and focuses the specimen, theother hand is free to take notes or operatecounters, for example.Faster identification and adjustmentThe scale of the aperture diaphragm on thecondenser features color-coded markings.The markings correspond to the standardized color codes of the objectives. Thisallows the user to identify, at a glance, thediaphragm that is the best match for thecurrently selected objective, and to configure the settings quickly and correctly.10. New Slide HoldersMore ergonomic and efficient workLeica’s new slide holders help to makemicroscope work easier. The slide holdersare constructed so that specimens can bechanged with one hand – and just one handmovement. The specimen is inserted intothe holder and removed from it using justtwo fingers. This ensures a fast, fluid workflow.12. Easy Lamp ReplacementFast maintenanceThe lamps can be replaced easily and invery little time. Just remove the small plugsocket from the side of the microscope,replace the lamp, and reinsert the socketinto the microscope – and you’re done. Themicroscope does not need to be moved outof position to replace the lamp.

Everything the Eye Desires: Optical Brilliance13Leica microscopes are well-known for excellent optics. Users can expect both excellent imagequality from the Leica DM Series and exceptional viewing comfort. The DM Microscopesallow optical settings to be configured quickly and reliably, which prevents eyestrain, whileensuring fatigue-free microscopy.13. The New OpticsBrightness, brilliance, contrastThe Leica DM Series features spectacularoptical quality – every time you look throughthe microscope. Beautiful brilliance andrazor-sharp contrast await the viewer. LeicaMicrosystems’ high-quality optics allow eventhe finest structures to come into clear view,which makes identification easy. Leica hasdeveloped the new HI PLAN Planachromatobjective series, which offer improved flattening and color correction. The HI PLAN10x objective is particularly well-suited toclinical applications such as cytology, andhas a large working distance of 12 mm,which allows specimens to be marked at10x magnification.14. Brightness-matchedObjectivesNo need to adjust light intensityLeica’s new HI PLAN SL (Synchronized Light)objective series with 4x, 10x and 40x magnification is particularly easy on the eyes. Theseobjectives are matched to each other so thatthe bright-ness always remains constant forthe user, regardless of the magnificationselected. This eliminates the need to use thebrightness adjustment continuously andprevents rapid eye fatigue due to largefluctuations in light intensity. The preferredcolor impression remains the same.15. New HI PLAN CYObjective15Special objectiveLeica’s special Planachromat HI PLAN CY10x/0.25 objective features excellent fieldflattening and color correction, while offering a long working distance of 12 mm forclinical applications.
