9. Simultaneous Focus and
Stage Control
One-handed adjustment
The focus and stage can be adjusted with
just one hand to allow faster, more efficient
workflow. While one hand (left or right)
focuses the specimen, the other hand is free
for other tasks, such as note taking.
10. New Slide Holders
Ergonomic design means efficient work
Leica’s new slide holders help make micro-
scope work easier. The slide holders are
constructed so that specimens can be
changed with one hand – and one hand
movement. The specimen is inserted into
the holder and removed from it using just
two fingers. This ensures a fast, fluid work-
flow.
11. Premiere: Color-coded
Diaphragm Settings
Faster identification and adjustment
The aperture diaphragm’s scale (on the con-
denser) features color-coded markings,
which correspond to the standardized color
codes of the objectives. The user can iden-
tify, at a glance, the diaphragm that best
matches the currently selected objective,
and then quickly and correctly configure
the settings.
12. Fast
Lamp Replacement
Efficient maintenance
The lamps can be replaced easily and in
very little time. Just remove the socket from
the side of the microscope, replace the
lamp, and reinsert the socket into the micro-
scope – and the task is done. The micro-
scope does not need to be moved to replace
the lamp.
Another option: the new Leica DM1000 LED
with long-lasting LED illumination means
lamp changes are a thing of the past.
Elegant Design for Efficient,
High-quality Work
Better performance, higher throughput, and faster workflow: three important benefits that pro-
vide maximum efficiency to today’s laboratories. Microscopes with well-engineered functions
down to the smallest hand movements allow users to work quickly and smoothly. The Leica DM
Digital Microscopes are thoughtfully and elegantly designed to provide these benefits.
