Fast and Easy Analysis and Documentation
Stunning, High-Resolution Details
Excellent picture quality is essential for precise image analysis, documentation, and
reporting. The Leica DFC425 and DFC425 C Digital Microscope Cameras provide detailed high-resolution pictures with outstanding accuracy and brilliant color reproduction. The exceptional picture quality and ease of use, makes these cameras the perfect
choice for all analysis and documentation needs.
Excellent Picture Quality
These cameras digitize the image information from the CCD chip directly in the camera
head, which leads to excellent noise suppression and perfect acquisition of the unprocessed CCD signal. Digitization takes place with a resolution of 12 bits and Leica’s
true color calibration takes care of the natural color reproduction, which produces
excellent picture quality.

Compact Design
The camera’s compact housing, specifi cally designed for microscopy applications, is easy to attach to the microscope. The camera is not much
larger than a computer mouse and does not require an external power supply, which reduces
workstation clutter.
Easy to Use
Leica’s digital technology simplifi es all operations,
from image capture through image archiving, and
allows digital retouching and analysis. In addition,
intelligent camera options allow you to conveniently set up the camera parameters. Leica cameras have automatic white balance and advanced
illumination control and are thus ready to produce
perfect images in seconds.
