21. Bulb Replacement
Is History
The LEDs have an extremely long service
life of approximately 100,000 hours. Assum-
ing six hours of use per day, the bulb’s ser-
vice life is 50 years. This saves laboratories
both time and money.
22. Comfortable,
Pleasant Light
LED illumination provides a cool color
impression. The light contains a relatively
high blue cast, which closely approximates
daylight. The color temperature also
remains constant at different illumination
intensities and is easy on the eyes.
23. Energy Savings
The Leica DM1000 LED features a 4 W LED
bulb. Because of its low power consump-
tion, the system is energy efficient.
24. Portability
Leica offers an optional, portable power sup-
ply for the new Leica DM1000 LED. When
using the microscope for field-based applica-
tions, the flexible solar panel delivers power
to the rechargeable battery, which is inte-
grated with the stand. The microscope can
then be used for approximately eight hours on
a fully charged battery.
Microscopy in a New Light
The Leica DM1000 LED – with Constant-color Illumination
and Optional Solar Panel
The new Leica DM1000 LED is equipped with long-life LED illumination, which replaces the
conventional halogen bulb. Leica also offers a portable, solar-powered version for field-
based deployment. Users of the Leica DM1000 LED also benefit from the same ergonomic,
performance-enhancing advantages of the Leica DM1000.
