13 Leica’s Renowned,
High-quality Optics
The best brightness, brilliance, contrast
The Leica DM Series features spectacular
optical quality. Brilliantly detailed images
with razor-sharp contrast await the viewer.
Leica’s high-quality optics clearly reveal the
finest cellular structures, which makes
identification easy. Leica’s HI PLAN plana-
chromat objectives offer improved field-flat-
tening and color correction. The HI PLAN
10x objective is particularly well-suited for
cytology applications. Its long working dis-
tance of 12mm allows specimens to be
marked at 10x magnification.
14. Brightness-matched
Objectives
No need to adjust light intensity
Leica’s new HI PLAN SL (Synchronized
Light) objective series with 4x, 10x, and 40x
magnification is particularly easy on the
eyes. Leica’s SL objectives are matched to
each other so that brightness always
remains constant for the user, regardless of
the selected magnification. This eliminates
the need to continuously adjust the bright-
ness and reduces the eyestrain that can
occur due to large fluctuations in light inten-
sity. The preferred color impression remains
the same for each objective.
15. Planachromat Objective
Excellent field-flattening and color correction
Leica’s special Planachromat HI PLAN CY
10x/0.25 objective provides excellent field-
flattening and color correction, and offers a
long working distance of 12mm for clinical
applications. This objective is also available
in the SL version.
16. Overview Objective
1.25x objective – for screening
Specifically designed for the clinical labora-
tory, Leica offers a screening objective with
1.25x magnification. Specimens can be sur-
veyed and recorded quickly and easily.
17. The New
Fluorescence Axis
Five filter block positions provide
greater flexibility
Leica’s stable, high-quality fluorescence
axis features five filter block positions.
Users can rapidly switch back and forth
between them. Leica’s extensive range of
filters can be used with a wide variety of flu-
orochromes. Leica’s filter blocks feature
"zero pixel shift" technology to prevent the
image from shifting when changing filter
blocks, so that images are correctly super-
imposed.
Excellent Image Quality: Optical Brilliance
Leica is the well-known brand for excellent optics. Users can expect Leica’s renowned excellent
image quality and exceptional viewing comfort. Leica DM Microscopes feature a host of innovative
functions that enable the user to quickly and reliably configure the optical settings for the best viewing
conditions. Leica’s objectives provide brilliant, high-contrast images. The optical system is designed to
reduce eyestrain and ensure fatigue-free work at the microscope.
