For ergonomic and

productive workstations

In some types of industrial production, the use of high-performance stereomicroscopes for visual inspection has now become mandatory at all stages, being the only way to ensure quality and to avoid consequential costs arising from deficiencies in quality. The Leica MS5 and MZ6 stereomicroscopes provide a way of performing quality inspection, precision work and training under ideal conditions and at reasonable cost. The Leica M series stereomicroscopes feature two parallel beam paths and a common main objective (Common Main Objective construction) and are parfocally adjusted. This elaborate optics system guarantees viewing without tiring, constant sharpness during magnification change and allows for simple adaptation of all types of accessories.

The Leica MS5 and MZ6 stereomicroscopes are instruments with a favorable price-performance ratio which have proven themselves in technology and natural sciences on a worldwide level as economical and reliable working instruments.

Investment with a future

Thanks to the extensive accessories, Leica MS5 and MZ6 are the most expandable stereomicroscopes of this class and prove to be an investment which will pay off in the long term. Leica Microsystems carries the largest range of objectives, binocular tubes, ErgoModules micrography, dual-station viewing and drawing.

Patented ESD protection saves on costs

The Leica MS5 and MZ6 optics carrier, 45° binocular tube, ErgoTube Leica L2 and Leica CLS cold light sources consist of patented ESD-discharging material (surface resistance <1011 Ohm/square, discharge time <2 seconds, 1000V to 100V).

Step or zoom magnification

The Leica MS5 stereomicroscope has five precise magnification steps, so investigation, measurement, drawing and photography can be repeated with identical magnification. The Leica MZ6 stereomicroscope, with its 6:1 zoom magnification changer, has engageable ratchets at specific magnifications, but also offers a continuous zoom capability throughout the magnification range. Whether equipped with achromatic, planachromatic or planapochromatic objectives, the Leica MS5 and MZ6 meet the many requirements of all user segments.

Ergonomics throughout

Users of the Leica MS5 and MZ6 stereomicroscopes can benefit from the largest available range of binocular tubes with various viewing heights, allowing one to work comfortably at the instrument. The Leica ErgoModules® also ensure correct posture at the work place: from ErgoWedge® ±15° to the ErgoTube® with continuously adjustable viewing angle from 10° to 50° provide the functions to be perfectly adjusted for any user. The compact, attractive design and the modern, warm materials make handling of the Leica M series particularly pleasant. The practically-oriented arrangement of the drive knobs allows for comfortable focusing with propped-up hands. The spacious incident and transmitted-light stands provide space for comfortable specialty stages such as the gliding stage and cup stage and the Leica MATS thermo stage. The Thermocontrol System Leica MATS allows observation of temperature-sensitive specimens and living cells in biology, medicine and pharmaceutics under identical temperature conditions.

Ergo objective

The Ergo objective 0.4× – 0.63× allows ergonomical and fine focusing in the 90mm range (working distance 63.5 – 153.5mm) without changing the viewing height. At the time, magnification and working distance can be changed without time-consuming objective change.

Wide range of illuminations

The modular Leica L2 cold light source is powerful, compact and suitable for all applications in industry and natural sciences. In addition to oblique illumination with one or two-arm light guides, corresponding accessories are also available for coaxial, vertical and transmitted-light illumination methods. Leica L2 is the only cold light source that can be directly coupled to the stand. This allows the complete equipment to use the least amount of space. The Leica CLS series is a high-performance line with cold light source for high light intensity and flicker-free white light with the lowest possible thermal effect on the objects. The new Leica LED1000 (Laser Emitting Diode) illumination is available with ring illuminator, spot or transmitted light. LEDs that are not developing any heat are used as illumination sources. The Leica L5 FL cold light fluorescence system is designed for blue or green fluorescence with an excellent price/performance ratio. The Leica L5 FL simplifies the daily routine work in the laboratory and is suitable for training courses, forensic and industrial stereofluorescence applications.

Equipment as desired

The stereomicroscope can be turned 360° in its carrier for use in lateral working positions. For regular photography or measuring, or when working with polarization techniques, the model AX microscope carrier is recommended because it permits both stereoscopic and vertical observation. The vertical mode excludes the risk of parallax-angle measuring errors and also ensures correct polarization colors. Users choose between the coarse focus, the coarse/fine focus and the motor focus. The inclinable focusing drive can be fitted to bonders and other machines in the electronic component industry.

Unlimited possibilities

Flexible equipment for your examinations

Stereomicroscopes can be used for the nondestructive observation of unprepared objects such as circuit boards and small components, and smaller animals and plants can be examined in vivo and in their entirety. Using the spatial 3-D image, large fields of view and moderate magnifications can provide an overall view and permit manipulations of the sample or specimen. The Leica IsoPro™ cross-stages, which were designed specifically for stereomicroscopes, are especially suitable for large specimens. Their precision and low design enhance the efficiency of your day-to-day work.

Space for your large projects

The three new swing-arm stands, ESD, Standard and Large extend the range of applications for MS5 and MZ6 enormously. Here, you can choose from a number of equipment versions, according to task and budget: The ESD in conjunction with the small base is the right choice for the limited budget, the Standard swing-arm stand makes child's play of continual positioning thanks to its ball-bearing mounting, whereas the large swing-arm stand, with its height of 560 or 800mm, provides sufficient space for very large samples. You can rest assured that the numerous ergonomic details will make your work as non-tiring and easy as possible.

Accessories for image acquisition

The base instrument can always and unproblematically be combined with various accessories. The six video/photo tubes can universally be used for Leica photomicrographic systems, and digital, video, film or SLR cameras.

Leica digital imaging systems

The Leica DFC camera line allows rational creation, processing, reprocessing and archiving of digitized images in industry, medicine and research. Our product line reaches from standard camera for universal application to high-end camera. The Leica Application Suite (LAS) includes a variety of modules covering everything from digital measurement to image optimization and complex imaging sequences.

Leica IC A and IC D compact modular cameras

The Leica IC A (analog video) and IC D (digital still) modular cameras are designed to upgrade workstations ergonomically, without additional adapters or tubes. These cameras open up new opportunities for image analysis in the sciences, for industrial quality control, for live presentations in front of large audiences, and in digital post-processing.
