5. Unique
Ultra-hard Surface
Designed to last a lifetime
The microscope’s stage surface is made of a
new, hard ceramic that makes the stage
resistant to scratches and chemicals, and is
completely durable for years, even under
the most rigorous usage. The light beige
color of the ceramic provides an ideal sur-
face on which to identify specimens by out-
line and coloring before placing under the
objective.
6 New Design
More work space
The design of the stage is rounded, and the
entire microscope is compactly designed,
with no protruding parts. The compact
design frees additional work space around
the microscope.
7. Ergonomic
Control Knobs
Comfort is at hand
As an alternative to the standard knobs,
Leica’s rubberized ErgoKnobs are available
to provide a comfortable, secure grip for the
focus drive. For the x-y drive knobs, replace-
able sleeves made of soft, yet firm rubber
are included with the stage drive. Simply
pull the sleeves over the knobs to enhance
the feeling of sensitive control.
8 Comfortable ErgoLift
Variable height adjustment
Leica’s optional ErgoLift is a special,
adjustable plate that raises or lowers the
entire microscope to the seated height of
each user with just a few hand movements.
