Overview
The Leica DM EP combines strain-free optics and precision-engineered polarizing
mechanisms into an ergonomically advanced design that delivers accurate,
high-contrast image quality for use in both university and laboratory
settings.
Leica incorporated a range of exclusive features into the DM EP, including
a highly efficient Koehler illumination system that features a 35 W halogen
bulb, a voltage sensing power supply that delivers optimized light intensity
regardless of voltage fluctuations, an Analyzer/Bertrand Lens module with
swing-in/-out controls, a rotating swing in/out polarizer and a centerable
condenser. The microscope can easily be enhanced with a wide range of
accessories that allow for enhanced polarized microscopy applications
and educational and analytical photomicrography.
Key Features
- An Analyzer/Bertrand Lens module with swing-in/out controls and a
stabilizing mechanism to provide proper orientation and ease of use
for both Conoscopic and Orthoscopic observations
- DIN standard full wave and quarter wave compensators with slide stops
and ergonomic grips to improve efficiencies and ease of use (other compensators
also available)
- A 2000 hour/35 watt halogen lamp equipped with an illuminated intensity
control system to signal users when the microscope has been left on-
saving on lamp life
- A selection of precision-engineered, strain-free POL objectives to
provide brilliant image quality
- A rear-facing nosepiece featuring 4 independently centerable, strain
free objectives to ensure parcentricity for concentric rotations of
specimens around the optical axis
- A high precision 180mm diameter rotating stage marked in one degree
increments and equipped with two verniers for accurate measurements
to a tenth of a degree (attachable mechanical stage also available)
- Verniers located 90 degrees apart on the right and left of the stage
providing a direct view to simplify measurements of specimens during
stage rotations
- Durable, solid brass core focus knobs create inertia for fatigue-free
focusing
