and ease of operation minimize the need for extensive training
and save time during everyday work. The versatile Leica
DMI3000 M offers a variety of configuration options that provide
a perfectly tailored system for specific user needs and applications such as quality inspection and assurance, materials analysis, or research and development of new materials. The result
is exceptional image quality and convenience.
Experience and Innovation –
The Art of Creating Brilliant Images
Leica’s new incident light axis offers image brilliance, depth of
field, and high resolution. The microscope’s apochromaticallycorrected beam path sets new standards of image clarity over
the entire field of view.
Versatility – The Foundation for Future Possibilities
For ever-changing tasks and new applications, the Leica DMI3000 M
is the solution. Choose between standard or high-performance
objectives and fixed or motorized stages. The system can easily
adapt additional contrast methods, such as darkfield or differential interference contrast (DIC).
Integration – Achieve more with the Perfect Team
Every microscope system and accessory by Leica Microsystems
meets the most stringent quality requirements. The microscope,
camera, and software perfectly match each other, regardless of
which components or software modules comprise the system. All
components work ideally together.
Flexibility – Customized and Individualized
To fit a particular research task, the microscope has to be oneof-a-kind. Leica Microsystems offers a wide variety of configuration options and works closely with accessory manufacturers to
ensure that every accessory reliably integrates with the Leica
DMI3000 M.
Manual Camera Output
The top camera output is manually operated. It can be equipped optionally with
two switch positions (100/0% or 50/50% light division).
Side Camera Output
Easily toggle between the camera output and eyepiece. Choose between 100/0%
and 80/20% (camera/eyepiece).

The Art of Creating Brilliant Images
The Optical Pioneers
For over one hundred years, Leica microscope users have associated Leica products with the highest optical performance. The
Leica HC (Harmonic Component) optical system objectives feature the highest numerical aperture available today, which sets
completely new standards in high-resolution imaging. In the field
of advanced materials microscopy, the reproduction accuracy
and contrast of the Leica BD objectives (having Brightfield/Darkfield capabilities) set new limits in modern optical technology.
The Optical System
Maximum transmission, homogeneity, and optimum correction
are hallmarks of Leica’s entirely new optical system. Stray light
and unwanted reflection are things of the past. The Leica
DMI3000 M exceeds the standards for accuracy and color
fidelity in reproducing material samples.
The Optical Innovation
Leica’s innovative HC optics are ideal for microscopic viewing
that requires a large amount of working distance between the
sample and the objective, while achieving high resolution.
Leica’s HC optics feature a high numerical aperture and create
plenty of space on the microscope’s stage, while providing highcontrast, sharp, and detailed images of material samples. The
user benefits from a high degree of image sharpness for all
contrast methods in image analysis.
The Optical Specialist
The Leica DMI3000 M offers an especially useful feature for
materials examination – the stand’s built-in oblique illumination is
ideal for difficult-to-evaluate samples, which enables the
researcher to literally see the sample in a new light.
Practical, Single-handed Operation
The stage drive and focus knob are located very close to each other, which allows the stage and focus to be
conveniently adjusted with one hand. Moreover, the flat design of the right focus knob prevents contact with the
stage drive.

As Individual as Your Application
Versatility: A Standard Feature
Whether analyzing polished metal samples in incident light or
examining powder in transmitted light, the Leica DMI3000 M’s
new incident light axis allows the researcher to work in brightfield, darkfield, DIC modes or with quantitative polarization. For
difficult-to-evaluate samples, a simple press of a button activates
the integrated oblique illumination and switches over to transmitted light. Transmitted light, brightfield, darkfield, DIC, polarization, and phase contrast modes provide excellent imaging results
and ease of use.
Comfortable Work
The Leica DMI3000 M comes equipped with an ergonomic tube
with continuously adjustable viewing angles that adapt to an
individual’s body height and posture, which provides comfort to
the microscope user.
Convenient Outlook
The viewing channel (a notch conveniently located between the
eyepieces) allows an unobstructed view of the sample at all
times, which increases efficiency.
A Comprehensive Range of Stages
Since every material sample is different in both surface composition and dimension, a comprehensive range of microscope
stages are available for the Leica DMI3000 M. Choose between
fixed stages (with or without an attachable mechanical stage) or
3-plate cross-stages. Motorized stages are also available. The
DMI3000 M offers versatile configuration options that always
provide a perfectly tailored, application-specific system.
Dual Camera System
The Leica DMI3000 M is equipped with two camera outputs to
allow a camera for fast live imaging and another camera for
video recording. One output is on the side of the stand and can
easily toggle between a 0/100% and 80/20% light division. The
other output is located on the tube. This outstanding two-output
feature allows the researcher to choose which output to use for
a particular camera and how much light is sent to the outputs.
Leica’s product range of thirteen different optical prisms with
various transmission levels allows a multitude of possibilities.
Integrated Ergonomic Tube
The Leica DMI3000 M is equipped with an ergonomic
tube. The continuously adjustable eyepieces ensure
the best viewing angle for all users.
Unobstructed View of the Sample
The viewing channel, incorporated within the tube,
provides an unobstructed view of the sample. This
enables the user to switch between microscopic and
visual observation of the sample at any time without
having to adjust the tube.

Easy accessibility and accurate operation are the
highlights of Leica’s 5x objective nosepiece.
