Ease of use: One step from macro to micro

With the DVM6, you can get from the big picture to smallest details in an instant. You can seamlessly carry on working even if changing objective is required, as the sample always stays in focus and no pre-adjustments are needed. With the tilting function you can observe your sample from different angles from up to ±60°.

Why the Leica DVM6 saves you time

● 16:1 zoom range makes changing between magnifications fast

● 2350x magnification shows you details down to 0.4 micrometers on the

   same microscope

● Horizontal field of view ranges from 35 mm to 0.18 mm at same focus level

One-hand operation

You will become an expert in virtually no time!

● Work seamlessly thanks to one-handed objective change

● Stay focused and operate the tilting function with one hand

● Hybrid manual-motorized operation of X, Y and Z - smart

   automation helps you to be faster

● Easy to operate, so little training time is needed

Image quality: See more with crisper images

Obtain excellent image quality! The Leica DVM6 has top notch optics that the Leica brand is famous for. Choose from different integrated LED illumination options
and reveal details you have never seen before. Capture your image in natural colors with a high-resolution camera.

10-megapixel high-resolution camera

● 10-megapixel high-resolution camera

● Fast live image display with more than 30 frames per second

● More details with excellent PlanApo-corrected Leica optics

● Illuminate your sample perfectly even at large field of view

● Combine illumination and contrasting options in various ways to
   highlight your sample features best

Impressive Results: Rely on intelligent automation

Speed up your daily work and especially repetitive tasks with the DVM6. The system automatically stores settings for you in the background. The encoded functions of the digital microscope make your data accurate, reliable and help to prevent errors. The LAS X software supports you with easy navigation and offers a measurement tool for every need. You can be sure that every user delivers the same quality of data.

Why you can reproduce results easily

● Zoom range is continuously encoded and calibrated

● All instrument components are sensor-controlled

● All settings saved with every image, e.g. illumination,
   position, magnification

● Create a report for 2D and 3D measurements with one click

Intuitive software: Your autopilot

The LAS X software is a key factor in making the DVM6 fast, easy to use, and reliable. Create perfect images, either single shots or large stitched images in XYZ with predefined acquisition modes. Efficient analyses are inherent: You can measure in 2D and 3D, and annotate the image. At the end, you can export your results to a customized Excel report template with a single click.

How LAS X helps you speed up your workflow

● Improve your image easily with the Image Preview - choose out of
    six different suggestions. Customize those with your preferred settings with a single click

● Live image with High Dynamic Range (HDR) to see every detail right away

● Large brightness differences on the sample surface are displayed with detail
    richness making high dynamic differences in the sample nicely visible

● Extend 3D images over the full XY-scanning area with virtual no size limit

● LAS X is a native 64-bit application under Windows 7 and runs on a standard PC

Find your Leica DVM6 configuration

The Leica DVM6 digital microscope is available in three different configurations to help you find the solution that best fits your application and budget needs.

Choose between three options

● Do you need high resolution images and application versatility? The DVM6 C is the perfect microscope if you cannot compromise on image quality.

● Are you also looking for multi-focus images and 3D-analysis? With the DVM6 S you add the comfort of a motorized focus to the imaging capabilities. And you will love the autofocus.

● Would you also like to scan larger areas in high resolution? The DVM6 A is the recommended microscope if ultimate versatility is required. You can capture large images in XYZ with just a single click.
