2. MICROSCOPES Microscope comes from a Greek Word Mikro’s: Small, Skopein: To look / See An instrument which is used for viewing objects that are to small to be seen by a naked or unaided eye

3. HISTORY Almost 1200 years ago microscopes were traced by Abbass Ibn Firanass The first true microscope was prepared in1596 at Middelburg, Netherlands

6. Page 6  Ergonomics/health  Comfort/ease of use  Reliability of results  Optimisation of workflow  Durability/economical solutions  Flexibility Features and benefits

7. Page 7  Ergonomic tilting tube with 15° viewing angle  Height adjustable focus knobs  Symmetrical alignment of focus knobs and XY-drive  Ergomodules and Ergolifts Ergonomics in the clinical environment

8. Page 8 Ergonomics Viewing Angle (15°)  Optimal head posture  Relaxed neck and shoulder muscles  Straight back Therefore significantly reduced risk of RSI

9. Page 9 Ergonomics / flexibility tilting angle  Allows to change head posture during the day  Also perfect for multi- user environment  More relaxed posture  Reduced risk of RSI

10. Page 10 Adjustable focus knobs  Easily adjustable focus knobs for different hand sizes  Forearms and hands remain relaxed on the table  More relaxed and tension free posture reduces risk of RSI  Patented feature

11. Page 11 Ergonomics Symmetrical Operation Symmetrical alignment of focus knobs and XY-drive leads to … … symmetrical posture of shoulders (avoids twisting) … … therefore less pain after hours of work at the microscope

12. Page 12 Ideal solutions for different body heights  Ergomodules increase the distance between eye point and focus knobs  Especially suitable when no other intermediate modules are used (e.g. fluorescence axis)  30 mm or 60 mm height  Allow relaxed posture even for tall users

13. Page 13 Ideal solutions for different body heights  Ergolifts increase the distance between eye point and bench  Available in two sizes (for DM1000/DM1000LED and DM2000/DM2500/DM3000  Feature tension-free posture of the hands  Enable hours of fatigue- free working

14. Page 14  Colour coded aperture diaphragm  HI PLAN SL (synchronized light) objectives  Ergoknobs (soft control knobs)  “Intelligent” automated microscope Leica DM3000 Comfort and Ease of use

15. Page 15 Aperture diaphragm adjustment “at a glance”  Coloured markings on objectives and condenser match up  Also available with Pol condenser  Comfortable solution especially for beginners (reduced training period)

16. Page 16 Synchronized Light Objectives  4x, 10x, and 20x HI PLAN SL brightness synchronized with 40x objective  Prevent eyestrain  No need to adjust brightness when changing magnification  Colour impression remains unchanged with different magnifications Comfortable (and ergonomic) solution

17. Page 17 Soft Control Knobs  Removable rubber parts on main controls  Convenient surface feel  Highly sensitive control  Ideal for multi-user environment (can be removed easily)

18. Page 18 Single Hand Operation of XY-drive & Focus  Flat focus knobs allow one hand operation of focus and XY-drive  Use of counting machines or taking notes is possible at the same time  Comfortable solution in order to reduce stress

19. Page 19 Single Hand loading of slides  Improved thickness and thus stability  Real one hand loading of slides for easy operation  Alternatively traditional handling with „knob“ is possible  Available for ErgoStages (one or two slides), and rotating stage

20. Page 20 Reliability of results with fluorescence  Fluorescence illuminator for DM1000 / DM1000 LED  Three positions for filter cubes in a slider, easy exchange  50 W Hg lamp housing available too (economical solution)

21. Page 21 Reliability of results - Fluorescence

22. Page 22 Superb Optics  Family of HI PLAN objectives with excellent flatness, contrast, and colour correction enable reliable results  New: HI PLAN 100x/0.80 dry avoids mess with immersion oil  Ideal price-performance ratio  1,25x overview objective available (HXC PL Fluotar)

23. Page 23 Reliability of results  Patented temperature compensation  Therefore no focus drift  Perfect for long-term experiments

24. Page 24 Imaging Module  Fits between stand and any of the Leica tubes  Retrofitting solution: purchase of extra trinocular tube not necessary  Integrated and centrable C-mount  100% light routed to the camera

25. Page 25 Adaptation Preferences for User  Stage lock (particularly suitable for customers who move the slides by hand)  Can be mounted in the same position as the coaxial drive or on the opposite side when using an ErgoStage  Ideal for multi-user environment, haematology, when operating counting machines, taking notes etc

26. Page 26 Durable Ceramic stage  Available as ErgoStage or rotating stage  Colour of ceramic surface delivers better contrast  Different sizes for DM1000/DM1000LED, and DM2000/DM2500/DM3000, for one or two slides

27. Page 27  Leica DM Multiple Viewing Systems feature realistic impression of working with a microscope for time efficient training of residents  With long-life LED pointer  Standard and customized systems are available according to room layout and number of residents Multiple viewing

28. Page 28 Less Downtimes  Easy lamp exchange with special drawer  Saves time when bulb exchange is necessary  Unique feature

29.
