[. . . ] The result is exceptional image quality and convenience. Experience and Innovation ­ The Art of Creating Brilliant Images Leica's new incident light axis offers image brilliance, depth of field, and high resolution. The microscope's apochromaticallycorrected beam path sets new standards of image clarity over the entire field of view. [. . . ] The Leica HC (Harmonic Component) optical system objectives feature the highest numerical aperture available today, which sets completely new standards in high-resolution imaging. In the field of advanced materials microscopy, the reproduction accuracy and contrast of the Leica BD objectives (having Brightfield/Darkfield capabilities) set new limits in modern optical technology. The Optical System Maximum transmission, homogeneity, and optimum correction are hallmarks of Leica's entirely new optical system. Stray light and unwanted reflection are things of the past. The Leica DMI3000 M exceeds the standards for accuracy and color fidelity in reproducing material samples. The Optical Innovation Leica's innovative HC optics are ideal for microscopic viewing that requires a large amount of working distance between the sample and the objective, while achieving high resolution. Leica's HC optics feature a high numerical aperture and create plenty of space on the microscope's stage, while providing highcontrast, sharp, and detailed images of material samples. The user benefits from a high degree of image sharpness for all contrast methods in image analysis. The Optical Specialist The Leica DMI3000 M offers an especially useful feature for materials examination ­ the stand's built-in oblique illumination is ideal for difficult-to-evaluate samples, which enables the researcher to literally see the sample in a new light. Practical, Single-handed Operation The stage drive and focus knob are located very close to each other, which allows the stage and focus to be conveniently adjusted with one hand. Moreover, the flat design of the right focus knob prevents contact with the stage drive. Comprehensive line of objectives ­ from the HI PLAN (Plan Achromat) to the PLAN APO Leica DMI3000 M ­ As Individual as Your Application Versatility: A Standard Feature Whether analyzing polished metal samples in incident light or examining powder in transmitted light, the Leica DMI3000 M's new incident light axis allows the researcher to work in brightfield, darkfield, DIC modes or with quantitative polarization. For difficult-to-evaluate samples, a simple press of a button activates the integrated oblique illumination and switches over to transmitted light. Transmitted light, brightfield, darkfield, DIC, polarization, and phase contrast modes provide excellent imaging results and ease of use. Comfortable Work The Leica DMI3000 M comes equipped with an ergonomic tube with continuously adjustable viewing angles that adapt to an individual's body height and posture, which provides comfort to the microscope user. Convenient Outlook The viewing channel (a notch conveniently located between the eyepieces) allows an unobstructed view of the sample at all times, which increases efficiency. [. . . ] The continuously adjustable eyepieces ensure the best viewing angle for all users. Unobstructed View of the Sample The viewing channel, incorporated within the tube, provides an unobstructed view of the sample. This enables the user to switch between microscopic and visual observation of the sample at any time without having to adjust the tube. 5x Objective Nosepiece Easy accessibility and accurate operation are the highlights of Leica's 5x objective nosepiece.
