• The LED bulb has a long product life of approximately 100,000 hours; assuming six hours of use per day, the bulb’s service life is 50 years - this saves laboratories both time and money. Low power consumption of the LED enables even battery operation.

• The unique, patented, height-adjustable focus knobs, easy-to-change stage controls,  and the full range of ergonomic equipment customize the Leica DM1000 LED for individual users and make them feel better at the end of a long working day.

• A variety of optics and contrast techniques, including fluorescence, are available for cytology, haematology, pathology, and many other applications.

• All high class objectives of Leica Microsystems fit to the DM1000 LED to fulfill the highest demands. For easy marking in cytology, objectives with extreme working distance are available too.

• A wide choice of suitable accessories like color coded condensers speed up workflow, ensure reliable results, and make work more comfortable.

The Leica DM1000 provides the highest possible image brilliance, and can be used with all optical techniques except DIC. As a microscope designed for clinical or pathology applications, it meets the same optical standards as all other Leica instruments. It of course can also be used as a fluorescence microscope.

The new Leica DM1000 LED offers long-lasting LED illumination, which eliminates bulb replacement. Leica offers an optional, portable power supply with a flexible solar panel and integrated rechargeable battery for eight hours of operation without AC power.

Focus and stage adjustments can be performed with just one hand. The other hand remains free for other activities such as operating the PC. All gears are made of self lubricating hardened brass and steel.

The modern stage design is rounded with no protruding parts. The entire design is compact and requires minimal space.

The stage is built to last with a hard ceramic surface that is durable enough to take years of demanding use.

Leica’s new HI PLAN Planachromat objective series delivers images of astonishing clarity with significantly improved image flattening and chromatic correction.

Leica’s HI PLAN SL planachromat objective series maintains the brightness level at 4x, 10x, and 40x magnifications and preserves your preferred color impression. Continual adjustment of illumination intensity is a thing of the past with Leica’s SL (Synchronized Light) objectives.

Leica’s special HI PLAN CY 10x/0.25 objectives feature excellent field flattening and color correction, and offer a long working distance of 12mm. These objectives are also available in an SL (Synchronized Light) version.

A quick overview can be obtained with all four models using the optional 1.25x screening objective.
