Leica DM500 Binocular Educational Microscope

Item#: DM500

The DM500 microscope with “plug and play” capability is the ideal tool to make teaching entry-level college and university Life Science courses easy and fun for the instructor and the student. Student-friendly features such as the pre-focused, pre-centered condenser and the EZTube™ preset diopter, which prevent incorrect adjustments, provide more time for hands-on teaching. EZStore™ design with integrated handle and cord wrap allows easy carrying, easy lifting and protection against microscope component damage.

SAFETSTAGE™
Microscope stage maintains its dimension, which eliminates the chance of injury from contact with a conventional stage rack. Rounded edges are easy on the skin.
USB POWER CONNECTOR
Providing power to the Leica USB cameras is extremely easy. Simply connect the camera via the provided USB cable to the 5 V/1.5 A USB power connector on the rear of the Leica DM500 and Leica DM750 stand. This saves the cost of an external power supply for the camera plus reduces the complexity at the workstation.
EZGUIDE™
Student friendly slide holder helps prevent slide chipping.
LED Illumination
EZLite™ provides cool, white light with a lifetime of over 20 years average use. There is no need to change lamps during lab time, and this saves the expense of replacement lamps as well. The cost-savings pays for several microscopes over their lifetimes.
AgTreat™
The possible contamination with germs from surfaces is of great concern, especially in educational environments. Leica Microsystems has integrated an additive to the material of all microscope touchpoints to inhibit the growth of bacteria. This helps prevent the spread of disease via the microscope surfaces and leads to a healthier laboratory environment.
