Leica DM E
Compound Microscope System
The Vision to Create Microscopy Solutions for Education.
When designing the DM E for the educational setting,
the main priorities were to maximize performance and
maintain a competitive price. By using high quality
components, engineering expertise, and advanced
design, Leica drew upon 150 years of experience to create
an instrument that would truly take educational
microscopy into the next generation.
Great discoveries begin with vision.
Louis Pasteur
1822–1895
A visionary whose foremost discovery is
the germ theory of disease, Pasteur’s work
became the foundation for the science of
microbiology and a cornerstone of modern
medicine. His discoveries include the use of
immunizations to prevent disease.
ry sessions in the university setting, the DM E incor-
porates superb optics and illumination with user-
friendly components for easy use. Features like the
rear-facing, parfocal nosepiece gives students easy
access to the specimen and prevents students from
bumping objectives. Components like the eyepiece
and binocular body have been designed for maximum
comfort and minimum adjustment. The tamper-proof
design and compact size make set-up, storage and
maintenance effortless. These features combine to
form a microscope ideal for specimen examination in
general pathology, histology, microbiology, botany,
zoology and other life science courses.
The vision to maximize performance.
For highly demanding educational environments like
medical, dental and veterinary schools, the DM E
provides an outstanding solution to your students’
dynamic applications. With its state-of-the-art
illumination system and advanced optics, students
can perform a range of techniques including bright-
field, darkfield, polarization, phase contrast and pho-
tomicrography easily and efficiently. Infinity optics
provide high contrast imaging quality and complete
optical compatibility with higher performance Leica
microscopes, with the option to add accessories
without affecting the microscope’s magnification. For
high performance in highly demanding environments,
the DM E is your microscopy solution.
