M525 MS3

Leica Microsystems introduces the innovative combination of a compact microscope for microsurgery with the
top class standard of electromagnetic brakes and robotics. Merging the best features of the Leica M525 MS2 and
Leica M525 OH4, with both electromagnetic and robotic movements, the Leica M525 MS3 offers the neurosurgeon,
spine surgeon or otolaryngolist, another alternative in surgical microscopes. Easy to move, precisely balanced and
coupled with the brilliant optical performance of the Leica M525 platform, the new Leica M525 MS3 will perform
superbly in the operating room.
A new feature of the new Leica M525 microscope is the coupling of the illumination brightness control to the working
distance for even more reliable work at short distances.

The new Leica M525 optics

™

featuring OptiChrom

The Leica M500 neurosurgical optical system has gained count­less satisfied users since 1997.

Leica now takes innovation a step further with the new Leica
M525, featuring the latest generation of OptiChrome™technology
– the integration of all new glass, coating and design parameters
that deliver the following decisive advantages:

Longer 32% extended working distance to 470mm

•

Deeper 30% increased depth of field at same magnification

•

Brighter 30% more light intensity

•

Sharper Higher contrast and crisper, sharper image

•

Smarter Zoom-synchronized illumination field diameter

•

e

Ten years of relentless research and clinical experience of
OptiChrome™optics have now culminated in the world’s most
advanced optical system: the new Leica M525 OptiChrome™.

To position the Leica M525 MS3, the surgeon uses newly designed
hand grips made of a highly durable metal casting. Ergonomically
designed with a solid feel, the hand grips control all the standard
parameters such as focus, zoom, and electromagnetic brakes.
A simple to use joystick on either hand grip activates the motor­ized tilt and inclination (XY) of the Leica M525 MS3 optics carrier.
If desired, one of the joysticks can be defined to control the Leica
Dual Imaging or any IGS navigation system.

The concept

For over 150 years, the Leica name has stood for outstanding
optical quality. Outstanding features of the Leica M525 optical
platform such as optimum image contrast, clear imaging, color
fidelity and image sharpness are now combined with a selection
of floor and ceiling mounts that meet the varied requirements of
neurosurgery, spinal column surgery and otolaryngology.

The Leica M525 MS3 combines an easy to handle floorstand
design with electromagnetic movement in six axes and robotic
movement in three axes. With the feature of electrically driven
tilt and inclination movement, the Leica M525 MS3 is clearly
placed above the standard of customary floor stands with six
electro-magnetic brakes.

Leica Design by Christophe Apothéloz

Positioning

The Leica M525 MS3 can be made even more compact by folding
it together and requires very little floor space. Unfolding the sys­tem for placement around the operating table is simple and easy,
as is the balancing. With the long range of the Leica M525 MS3,
the stand fits perfectly into any surgical set up. The flexibility of
the stand allows for many positioning options.

The 100° swivel range allows it to
easily reach even difficult positions.

XY control

For fine control, the motorized tilt and inclination of the Leica
M525 MS3 optics carrier can be controlled by a joystick integrated
into either handle. Or, if preferred, the surgeon may use a foot
control. The speed of the movement can be easily adjusted at any
time during the surgical procedure.

The handle of the Leica M525 MS3 has a
robust and ergonomic design that allows it
to be easily controlled, even through a
sterile drape.

Tool Tracking

In combination with the tool tracking
capabilities of an IGS system,
the microscope can track an instrument
in the X,Y and focus axis. Move the
instrument and the microscope follows
without the surgeon touching the handle grips.
“Hands free” movement with the
Leica M525 MS3 and IGS Tool Tracking add
a new dimension to the advancement
of microsurgery.

Tool tracking with IGS

Precise movement

Perfect balance

A 150° tilt range, together with a highly compact optics carrier,
ensures that the surgeon has comfortable positioning, even during
complex procedures.

The swing arm is automatically
balanced at the touch of a button.

Compatibility

prepared for all data

The Leica DI C500 allows the surgeon to input data from any
external source such as MRI, CT, IGS, and endoscopes. With an
IGS computer, the CT or MRI can be fully correlated to the image
in either eyepiece. The fully correlated image can be laid over
the actual image or a shutter can be used, allowing the actual
microsurgical image in one eyepiece and the fully correlated
image in the other eyepiece. Non-correlated images such as
endoscopes can be projected with the highest resolution and
contrast available in the marketplace today.

In combination with IGS systems

or used independently, the
Leica DI C500 Dual Imaging
Module handles more data formats
then ever before – high-resolution
RGB video signals, correlated data
from IGS systems, standard CT or
MRI data and more.

Endoscopy

The Leica M525 MS3 can be used
easily for neuro endoscopy
applications in combination with the
Leica DI C500. With the Leica DI C500,
the surgeon will view in whichever
microscope eyepiece he chooses,
what he could observe on a high
resolution monitor. The quality is the
highest in today’s market.

The Leica ULT 500

is the ultra-observation tool for the
surgeon, the assistant and video
documentation.
A simple lever allows the light to be
directed either to a 180° assistant or
a 90° assistant.
