Leica DMi8 M / C / A Inverted Microscopes for Industry

Inverted microscopes enable you to save time and money. Unlike upright microscopes you can simply put your specimen on the stage, focus onto the surface once and have it focused for all magnifications and further samples. And because the objectives are positioned below the stage the risk of collision with the sample is reduced.

Save time

• You can change 4 times faster between samples
• You benefit from a large working space to easily place even huge and heavy samples.
• Work with samples that weigh up to 30 kg.

Information on the advantages on inverted microscopy

Do you need to work with big samples and analyse more of them? See more of your sample in a shorter time thanks to the Macro* objective offered exclusively by Leica Microsystems. Change from the macro (35 mm) to nano (200 nm) with only a click.

• You get 4x times the field of view (35.7 mm sample overview at 0.7x magnification) in comparison to standard objectives with the macro objective
• You can change between different magnifications – 0.7x – 5x – 10x – 20x- 50x – 100x – and illuminate your sample from different angles
• You increase your sample throughput with the 3 position focus drive allowing you sensitive and adjustable focusing at various magnifications

You can create the perfect tool for your work. Tailor the system to fit your budget, application needs and preferences. Invest in the features you need for your work now – and be prepared for future requirements.

More Freedom

• You can upgrade your system for future requirements
• Choose between manual, coded or automated functions
• You can use a range of contrast modes to cover all your application needs

The Leica Application Suite (LAS) software lightens your workload by offering a variety of expert modules, e.g.:

More Freedom

• Steel Expert
• Phase Expert
• Grain Expert

Regular updates and upgrades of LAS ensure that you are always ahead of the game.

Leica Microsystems exclusively offers Ultra-Contrast 3D illumination. It allows you to illuminate your sample from different angles, obtain additional information on the surface structure, and achieve improved contrast. See more details of your sample in less time.

Gain more insights

• You experience greater ease of use with the integrated illumination solutions
• Get more information on your sample at no additional costs
• You can choose between manual or motorized version

Personalize the function keys to your preference and use coded components and the illumination control. Get your results faster and enjoy working with the microscope thanks to the guided workflow.

• Activate with push of 1 button the macro mode to get a quick overview on the sample
• Change between contrast mode and magnification simultaneously (e.g. from 10x HDF to 50X DIC)
• Program one function key to acquire an image with the camera for documentation
