The New DigitalMicroscope Series
Leica DM for Materials Sciences Simply Microscopy! Perfection At Work
Intelligence Comfort Brilliance Integration
This is why you entered Science. It’s what you work for every day. Now let the new Leica DM DigitalMicroscope help you make that brilliant discovery.
Perfection At Work – Simply Microscopy! The Exterior: New Technology in a New Design The first thing you will notice about our new Digital Microscopes is their new design*: clear, attractive contours. Looking Through the Microscope: Fascinating Insights Once you have seen a sample through one of these new microscopes, you will never want to use any other. No microscope in this class can offer better image brilliance, field depth and contrast. Just Rely On Your Intuition Our new Leica DM Digital Microscope series provides the answers to many of our customers’ problems. One of the most frequently voiced requests was to lighten the workload. So we found ways of doing a lot of the work for you. You can operate the microscope intuitively and easily automate complex routines to suit your specific needs. Experts Call it Ergonomics. We Call it User-Friendly Ergonomics is a word often used. On our new microscopes you can actually feel it. Cooperating closely with the Fraunhofer Institute** our designers have not only outperformed the latest technological standards but also all the ergonomic specifications.
* registered Design DE 402 04 845; patented DE 101 26 291 ** The Fraunhofer Institute IAO (Stuttgart, Germany) investigates ergonomic aspects of various products. In cooperation with their industrial partners they develop industrial designs to suit highest ergonomic demands.

Your Benefits
Intelligence
Automatic Diaphragm Adjustment Our new DigitalMicroscopes automatically recognize the contrasting technique and objective that are currently in use. There is no need to adjust diaphragms – either in transmitted or in incident light. Unless you choose to. Automatic Light Adjustment The light intensity is automatically set to the light-gathering capabilities of the objectives. This means that the brightness of the specimen image remains constant when you switch to a different objective – and there is no danger of glare. Because every task has its own specific requirements, you can adjust the light intensity individually.
An impression of clarity wherever you look: Customer-specific illumination and diaphragm adjustments can be made on the front left side of the microscope.
Everything you can see on the display of the Leica DM4000 M is automatically saved. All your results can therefore be reproduced at any time.
Left: The new LeicaScreen on the DM6000 M with touch-sensitive LCD. The clearly designed menu structure uses internationally familiar pictograms* instead of language for intuitive operation. Right: The familiar Leica SmartMove remote control. You can use the remote control unit to control all 3 axes of the microscope (x,y: stage, z: focus). You can also program user-defined microscope functions and assign them to the 4 function buttons.

New: Transmitted Light Axis With Color-Neutral Brightness Control** Too dark for viewing – too bright for your digital camera: a white balance used to be necessary every time the lamp voltage was changed. The new transmitted light axis works with a color-neutral brightness control which automatically maintains a constant color temperature. You will no longer need to use neutral density filters to compensate for changes in light intensity. New Condensers for a New Level of Automation Our completely automated condensers will fulfill the most demanding requirements. You will never have to worry about the position of the condenser tops, it will automatically swing in and out of the light path for any objective from 1.25x to 100x. Wherever You Look: An Impression of Clarity All the settings of the Leica DM4000 M can be reviewed at a glance in the clearly laid out display: the contrasting technique, the objective, the aperture and field diaphragm and the light intensity. Reproducible results are easier than ever before. The touch-sensitive LeicaScreen of the DM6000 M offers special ease of operation. Not only does it offer all the current settings of your microscope, but this display can be used to control the complete automation of your microscope – and all of that without requiring any programming skills. * registered Design DE 403 000 51 ** Patented DE 101 32 360; pat. pend. for EP 02 100 723; Japan pat. pend.

Our Digital Microscopes Adapt to You in Every Way Our new adaptable tube can be perfectly matched to your body size and posture. You can reach the focus knobs with your hands resting on the table. The new stage allows simultaneous focus and x-y movement control. So no matter what you are examining, you are completely relaxed – even if you sit at the microscope for hours at a time. New Stages and Specimen Holders for Your Convenience We have designed the new stages to satisfy the most demanding applications: the entire stage surface is ceramic coated and features telescopic stage drives with individually adjustable torque. The vertical stage position can also be adjusted with a simple hand movement to accommodate sample heights of up to 45 mm. The standard stages are on ball bearings for precise rotation around the optical axis. They are suitable for one to two specimens and are available in a version for left-handed operation. Still higher comfort is offered by the motorized stages of the Leica DM6000 M in conjunction with the Leica SmartMove operating satellite. Variable Function Keys You can assign any function you like to the maximum number of 10 new function keys. Due to the convenient position of 6 keys behind the focus wheels, frequently used functions are always within easy reach. An additional 4 function keys for the Leica DM6000 M are located on the Leica SmartMove remote control. We had your comfort in mind. Five New Viewing Tubes for Pin-Sharp Images To match our new DigitalMicroscopes, we have devised a viewing tube series that will meet the highest requirements. Our new documentation tubes (which can be motorized on request) have three switching positions. They are partially equipped with one or two camera outputs. The new adaptable tube can be optimally adjusted to your needs. And of course, you will also find an ergonomic tube with documentation port in our product range. New 1.25x Scanning Objective The new 1.25x panoramic objective is especially intended for material sciences. Outstanding field depth, brilliant resolution and perfectly homogeneous illumination ensure excellent results for photographs taken at low magnifications.
Comfort
The viewing angle and height of the new AET22 adaptable tube can be individually adjusted to your sitting posture and body size. Plus you can vary the length of the eyepieces to suit the position of your arms.
Brilliance
Everything underwent improvements: Our new transmitted-light axis, together with new condensers, allows for Koehler illumination of 1.25x–100x. The illumination manager adjusts a perfect image after every change of objectives.

Your Applications – Our Solutions
Incident Light The entire incident light axis is automated and features motorized aperture and field diaphragms that guarantee a hundred percent reproducibility. The 4-position reflector turret is also motorized and accommodates optical components for all incident light contrasting techniques. Two reflector positions have wider openings for the insertion of darkfield or Smith reflectors. Incident Light Brightfield It has never been so easy to use a microscope: just put a specimen on the stage and focus. The Leica DM series recognizes the objective you have chosen, accurately opens and closes the aperture and field diaphragms and adapts the light intensity.
Microhardness imprint
Incident Light Darkfield The darkfield block is affixed on the reflector turret and is moved into the light path by motor control. All diaphragm settings and the lamp voltage are automatically adapted to the change in conditions. Incident Light Polarization Incident light polarization contrast is either mechanical or, on request, motorized. In the motorized version, the polarizer and analyzer are in the ICR reflector on the motorized reflector turret. Incident Light Interference Contrast (ICR) With the Leica DM4000 you have the choice between semiautomatic or purely manual ICR operation. To avoid incorrect operation, the display shows the correct prism for the selected objective, which can simply be moved into the beam path. In the Leica DM6000 M, even the objective prism is mounted on a motorized disk, thereby turning the ICR into a fully automatic process. The field-proven ICR system of Leica Microsystems only needs one prism for many objectives, saving time and money. Depending on your application, you can decide for yourself which is more important – contrast or resolution.

Transmitted Light Apart from the motorized aperture and field diaphragms, the new transmitted light axis also features color-neutral brightness control that works in the background, maintaining a constant color temperature over a wide brightness range and making additional microscope and camera settings superfluous. Transmitted Light Brightfield You already know the aperture, field diaphragm and lamp voltage settings from incident light. In transmitted light, the condenser top for the chosen objective is additionally swung in or out of the light path automatically. And the automated, color-neutral brightness control also filters red and orange components out of the light at low lamp voltage settings. Transmitted Light Contrasting Technique All other transmitted light contrasting techniques implemented in the Leica DM4000 M and Leica DM6000 M, such as phase contrast, interference contrast and polarization, are automated. Here again, the microscope knows and moves all the necessary components by itself.
Solar cell, interference contrast
Single Keystroke Contrast Switching – Easier Than Ever Before The method of changing contrasting techniques is unique. One press of the new function keys and the microscope switches between brightfield, darkfield polarization or interference contrast automatically. We have even assigned all the parameters for switching between incident and transmitted light techniques to one single key: the setting that was used last is restored.
