Leica Compound Microscopes Leica DM500, 750,1000, 2000 & 3000 with outstanding ergonomics Unique Solutions!
Features and benefits • Ergonomics/health • Comfort/ease of use • Reliability of results • Optimisation of workflow • Durability/economical solutions • Flexibility
Ergonomics in the clinical environment • Ergonomic tilting tube with 15° viewing angle • Height adjustable focus knobs • Symmetrical alignment of focus knobs and XY-drive • Ergomodules and Ergolifts
Ergonomics Viewing Angle (15°) • Optimal head posture • Relaxed neck and shoulder muscles • Straight back Therefore significantly reduced risk of RSI
Ergonomics / flexibility tilting angle • Allows to change head posture during the day • Also perfect for multi-user environment • More relaxed posture • Reduced risk of RSI
Adjustable focus knobs • Easily adjustable focus knobs for different hand sizes • Forearms and hands remain relaxed on the table • More relaxed and tension free posture reduces risk of RSI • Patented feature
Ergonomics Symmetrical Operation … symmetrical posture of shoulders (avoids twisting) … … therefore less pain after hours of work at the microscope Symmetrical alignment of focus knobs and XY-drive leads to …
Ideal solutions for different body heights • Ergomodules increase the distance between eye point and focus knobs • Especially suitable when no other intermediate modules are used (e.g. fluorescence axis) • 30 mm or 60 mm height • Allow relaxed posture even for tall users
Ideal solutions for different body heights • Ergolifts increase the distance between eye point and bench • Available in two sizes (for DM1000/DM1000LED and DM2000/DM2500/DM3000 • Feature tension-free posture of the hands • Enable hours of fatigue-free working
Comfort and Ease of use • Colour coded aperture diaphragm • HI PLAN SL (synchronized light) objectives • Ergoknobs (soft control knobs) • “Intelligent” automated microscope Leica DM3000
Aperture diaphragm adjustment “at a glance” • Coloured markings on objectives and condenser match up • Also available with Pol condenser • Comfortable solution especially for beginners (reduced training period)
Synchronized Light Objectives • 4x, 10x, and 20x HI PLAN SL brightness synchronized with 40x objective • Prevent eyestrain • No need to adjust brightness when changing magnification • Colour impression remains unchanged with different magnifications Comfortable (and ergonomic) solution
Soft Control Knobs • Removable rubber parts on main controls • Convenient surface feel • Highly sensitive control • Ideal for multi-user environment (can be removed easily)
Single Hand Operation of XY-drive & Focus • Flat focus knobs allow one hand operation of focus and XY-drive • Use of counting machines or taking notes is possible at the same time • Comfortable solution in order to reduce stress
Single Hand loading of slides • Improved thickness and thus stability • Real one hand loading of slides for easy operation • Alternatively traditional handling with „knob“ is possible • Available for ErgoStages (one or two slides), and rotating stage
Reliability of results with fluorescence • Fluorescence illuminatorfor DM1000 / DM1000 LED • Three positions for filter cubes in a slider, easy exchange • 50 W Hg lamp housing available too(economical solution)
Superb Optics • Family of HI PLAN objectives with excellent flatness, contrast, and colour correction enable reliable results • New: HI PLAN 100x/0.80 dry avoids mess with immersion oil • Ideal price-performance ratio • 1,25x overview objective available (HXC PL Fluotar)
Reliability of results • Patented temperature compensation • Therefore no focus drift • Perfect for long-term experiments
Imaging Module • Fits between stand and any of the Leica tubes • Retrofitting solution: purchase of extra trinocular tube not necessary • Integrated and centrable C-mount • 100% light routed to the camera
Adaptation Preferences for User • Stage lock (particularly suitable for customers who move the slides by hand) • Can be mounted in the same position as the coaxial drive or on the opposite side when using an ErgoStage • Ideal for multi-user environment, haematology, when operating counting machines, taking notes etc
Durable Ceramic stage • Available as ErgoStage or rotating stage • Colour of ceramic surface delivers better contrast • Different sizes for DM1000/DM1000LED, and DM2000/DM2500/DM3000, for one or two slides
Multipleviewing • Leica DM Multiple Viewing Systems feature realistic impression of working with a microscope for time efficient training of residents • With long-life LED pointer • Standard and customized systems are available according to room layout and number of residents
Less Downtimes • Easy lamp exchange with special drawer • Saves time when bulb exchange is necessary • Unique feature
New Leica DM750 Excellent educational microscope with increased ergonomics, suitable for low budget requirements • Low positioned focus knobs • Five hole nosepiece • 30° tubes available • Rackless stage • One hand slide holder • Long-life LED illumination
