DM1000 Uniquely Ergonomic System Microscope
The ergonomically designed Leica DM1000 with adjustable features and easy-to-use controls adapts to every user to improve comfort and convenience while working at the microscope.
Featuring high-quality optical performance, the Leica DM1000 is ideal for all clinical laboratory applications, in particular cytology, haematology, and pathology. For special diagnostics requirements, the microscope is certified for in-vitro-diagnostics (IVD) like in-vitro-fertilization (IVF). Its advanced capabilities, including fluorescence, make it well suited also for complex tasks.
Elegant Design for Efficient, High-quality Work
Better performance, higher throughput, and faster workflow: three important benefits that provide maximum efficiency to today’s laboratories. Microscopes with well-engineered functions down to the smallest hand movements allow users to work quickly and smoothly. The Leica DM1000-3000 series is thoughtfully and elegantly designed to provide these benefits.
- New Slide Holders: Leica’s new slide holders help to make microscope work easier. The slide holders are designed in a way that specimens can be changed with one hand – and one hand movement. The specimen is inserted into the holder and removed from it using just two fingers. This ensures a fast, fluid workflow.
- Color-coded Diaphragm Settings: The aperture diaphragm’s scale (on the condenser) features color-coded markings, which correspond to the standardized color codes of the objectives. At a glance, the user can identify the diaphragm that best matches the currently selected objective, and then quickly and correctly configure the settings.
- Simultaneous Focus and Stage Control: The focus and stage can be adjusted with just one hand to allow faster, more efficient workflow. While one hand (left or right) focuses the specimen, the other hand is free for other tasks, such as taking notes.
Effortless Microscopy Means Comfort
The Leica DM1000-3000 Series makes routine work as comfortable and effortless as possible. Only a few hand adjustments are required to adjust the microscope to the user’s seat height, head posture, arm length and hand size. This adaptability provides reliable protection from muscular tension, poor posture, and long term, detrimental health effects. Microscopy has never been more comfortable and pleasant.
Unique Physical Requirements
Can be configured to fit an individual’s unique physical requirements using a variety of ergonomic equipment, like the patented height adjustable focus knobs, tubes with variable tilting angle, ergonomic modules, and a coaxial drive with adjustable length which is exchangeable for right and left-handed users.
Height-Adjustable Focus Knobs
No two hands are alike. And so the Leica DM1000-3000 series enables every hand to rest on the focus knobs in complete comfort. The focus knobs can be precisely adjusted to fit the user’s hand. This prevents hand, arm and shoulder tension and ensures a comfortable, fatiguefree grip – without additional arm supports.

True Symmetrical Operation
Real symmetrical operation of stage and focus controls allows relaxed posture, and helps to prevent pains or even RSI after long working days. The stage drive and focus knobs are arranged at the same height on the microscope, forming a straight line and are positioned at an equal distance from the user. Because of this symmetry, both hands are comfortably aligned during work and the shoulders automatically assume a right-angle position to the body’s axis. The result: the user sits at the microscope in a straight, relaxed posture.
Adjustable Tubes
Relaxed Head Posture Eases Tension
Proper arrangement of the tubes promotes good posture while sitting at the microscope. The Leica DM1000-3000 series offers a wide range of products to customize the tube settings. Choose from an ergonomic viewing angle of 15° or adjustable variotubes for a relaxed head position while viewing. Customized tube positioning prevents neck and back muscle strain as well as shoulder and lower neck muscle tension even over lengthy work sessions. Leica’s optional ErgoLift even adjusts the viewing height and angle of the entire microscope stand to adapt to the user’s body.
Easy Lamp Replacement
Many helpful features like the easy and fast lamp exchange thanks to the special drawer make work comfortable, and speed up workflow too. The lamps can be replaced easily and in very little time. Just remove the socket from the side of the microscope, replace the lamp, and reinsert the socket into the microscope – and the task is done. The microscope does not need to be moved to replace the lamp.
The Best Brightness, Brilliance and Contrast
The Leica DM1000-3000 series features spectacular optical quality. The viewer can expect brilliantly detailed images with razor-sharp contrast. Leica’s high-quality optics clearly reveal the finest cellular structures, which makes identification easy. Leica’s HI PLAN planachromat objectives offer improved field-flattening and color correction. The HI PLAN 10x objective is particularly well-suited for cytology applications. Its long working distance of 12 mm allows specimens to be marked at 10x magnification. The objectives from any Leica Microsystems` performance class can also be used, including the high-performance objectives from PL Fluotar class to Leica Apochromats with PL APO class for superior imaging quality.
Objectives For Your Demand
High class objectives are available for each budget, from the HI PLAN series with outstanding flatness, contrast, and color correction to research class objectives that meet even the highest expectations. Also available: series of brightness synchronized, and extra long working distance objectives for easy marking in cytology without need to adjust the brightness when changing magnification.
