Leica launches DM4 M and DM6 M microscopes

Leica has announced the launch of its new Leica DM4 M and Leica DM6 M upright microscopes, which have been optimised for consistent imaging conditions and reliable results.

Both systems are designed for imaging, measurement and analysis of similar features across many samples and materials, with the DM4 M better suited to manual routine inspection and the DM6 M capable of fully automated materials analysis.

Key features include the Illumination and Contrast Manager tool, which reduces complex adjustments to a single button press, while both instruments are also equipped with LED illumination.

Meanwhile, the Leica Application Suite microscope software helps to further broaden the versatility and usability of the devices.

Stefan Motyka, senior product manager at Leica Microsystems, said: "The Leica DM4 M and Leica DM6 M reduce training time, improve users' workflows and yield brilliant imaging results."

The firm also launched a number of new optical coherence tomography imaging systems for clinical ophthalmology and pre-clinical research applications earlier this week.
