DM4 M & DM6 M Upright Materials Microscopes

In applications such as steel inclusion rating, particle analysis, phase, or grain analysis, reproducibility matters. You can rely on the Leica DM4 M and Leica DM6 M microscope systems to provide reproducible results. Always!

One-button Intelligent Automation makes your repetitive work easy. Reduce training time, improve your workflow, and get brilliant imaging results every time with the microscopes that don’t forget.

• Save valuable time: With the Illumination Manager and Contrast Manager, the microscope automatically recognizes the selected contrast technique and objective in use, accurately opens and closes the aperture and field diaphragms, and adapts the light intensity.
• Share and compare your results – anytime and anywhere! Store and recall your microscope settings and camera parameters with the Leica Microscope Assistant (Leica LAS Store and Recall Module). They are saved and archived with the images, and can be restored at any time.

Select your personal image analysis system that fits your requirements:

The Leica Application Suite X (LAS X) software platform integrates the microscope, software, and camera into one package, focusing on efficiency in every aspect of the interface, functionality, and workflow.

With the Leica DM6 M you can use additional modules such as Steel Expert, Cleanliness Expert, Grain Expert, and Phase Expert.

Leica DM4 M

Do you need a microscope for manual routine inspection?

Leica DM6 M

Do you need a microscope for fully automated materials analysis?

Whether you need a microscope for a quick overview of your sample or a detailed inspection – The upright microscopes Leica DM4 M and Leica DM6 M always support you with the right settings.

• Use the Leica DM4 M for manual routine inspection
• Use the Leica DM6 M for fully automated materials analysis

Leica DM4 M

Do you need a microscope for manual routine inspection?

The Leica DM4 M is the manual coded routine inspection system for you.

• Manual 2-gear focus drive
• Coded 6-fold or 7-fold objective nosepiece
• Manual 3-plate stage ergonomically placed, programmable buttons
• Illumination Manager
• Contrast Manager
• LED illumination for all contrast modes
• Contrast modes: Brightfield, Darkfield, Differential Interference contrast, Polarization, Fluorescence
• Leica Application Suite X (LAS X) software

Leica DM6 M

Do you need a microscope for fully automated materials analysis?

The Leica DM6 M is the inspection system for highest accuracy and reproducibility.

• Motorized high precision 2-gear focus drive
• Motorized 6-fold or 7-fold objective nosepiece
• Manual or motorized scanning stage
• Touch screen control
• Illumination Manager
• Contrast Manager
• LED illumination for all contrast modes
• Contrast modes: Brightfield, Darkfield, Differential Interference contrast, Polarization, Fluorescence
• Leica Application Suite X (LAS X) software
• In combination with LAS X also autofocus is available

For visual & chemical analysis, you can retrofit your DM6 M compound microscope with the LIBS system and then have a 2-in-1 solution for rapid, precise material analysis.

Speed up your workflow with the Leica SmartTouch touch screen or freely programmable function buttons on the Leica DM6 M, as well as on the Leica SmartMove remote control.

Work comfortably and quickly with the Leica DM4 M: A clearly arranged display shows all microscope settings at a glance. Six function keys make frequently used functions easily accessible – without looking up from the sample.

LED illumination contributes to reproducible results – whether you work with brightfield (BF), High Dynamic Darkfield (HDF), Differential Interference Contrast (DIC), Fluorescence (FL), or Polarization (POL).

• View your sample in constant color temperature at any microscope setting: No need to reset the camera every time the brightness is altered or to adjust white balance.
• Detect more imperfections and defects on your sample choosing one or several of the contrast methods available.
• Be energy-efficient and cost-effective: LED illumination saves energy – and with a lifetime of up to 72.000 hours, bulb changes causing microscope downtime are a thing of the past.

Detect even the finest details with the fully automated differential interference contrast (DIC) and the 1.25x Panorama objective:

• Reach your goal without great effort: With one touch of a button, all system components of the Leica DM6 M, such as the analyzer, polarizer, and appropriate prisms, automatically move into the light path, while the fine adjustments are stored for each objective. 
• Get the best overview of your sample with the 1.25x Panorama objective. See every detail precisely and in excellent depth of field with the Leica DM4 M.
