Objective Change at the Touch of a Button
The automated objective turret changes objectives in only half a second. The objectives can be individually selected using the control buttons ergonomically positioned behind the focus knobs. Additionally, six buttons located on the base of the DM3000 are assigned to the objective turret’s six different magnifications. An optional foot switch reduces manual effort.

Tailored to Every Laboratory’s Requirements...
...is the unique toggle mode, which can be used with any two of the six magnifications. The remaining four objectives are still available whenever other magnifications are required. For special requirements, the user also has the possibility of individual programming of the control buttons.

Intelligent Condenser
The motorized condenser knows the optimal position for each magnification: when using 10x or lower objectives, the condenser head automatically swings out - and it automatically returns into its position when higher magnifications are used.

Optimal Light for Each Magnification
The Leica DM3000 automatically adjusts the light intensity to each objective’s requirements. The intelligent instrument automatically stores any previously-used light value for each magnification. As the brightness impression for the user remains constant, the DM3000 also prevents eyestrain from major changes in light intensity.

Customized Ergonomy
The Leica DM3000 can be configured to fit your physical requirements using a variety of observation tubes and ergonomic modules. The unique height adjustable focus knobs (Patented: DE 103 40 721) and easy to change stage controls are examples of how you can customize your DM3000.

Application Oriented Design
The DM3000 can also be configured to fit your application. Whatever the demanding application in your laboratory environment, the DM3000 can be configured with a variety of optics and contrast techniques, including the newly designed fluorescence axis.

Outstanding Illumination
The bright 30 watt halogen illumination gives you an even field of view with accurate color. Koehler illumination is standard so you have the best control over your contrast.
