If you're looking for top quality and precision engineering - look no further!
The Leica DM500 is ideal for viewing compost organisms.
The microscopes stand features provide plug and play capability.
All you need to do is turn the power on, place the specimen slide on the stage, focus, and enjoy the view!

The Leica 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 wrapallows easy carrying, easy lifting and protection against microscope component damage. 

DM500 – Science Teaching Made Easy 

Science Teaching Revitalized

The more time the instructor has to teach, the more students can learn. The Leica DM500 and DM750 microscopes were specifically developed to revitalize science teaching and to achieve the goal of more hands-on time for Life science courses. With many student-friendly features and high-quality construction, the Leica DM500 and DM750 invigorate science learning and teach the next generation of scientists effectively and efficiently.

Superb Optics

Based on the same optical platform as Leica Microsystems’ research microscope line, students enjoy outstanding optical performance with full access to virtually all accessories from the Leica Microsystems microscope product line.

NEW! 100× dry (no oil needed) objective provides very high resolution (N.A. 0.8) while eliminating the oil.

EZStore™

Integrated vertical handle provides easy carrying and easy lifting when storing on high shelves; undercut on front of stand works in combination with the handle for safer, two-handed carrying.

Integrated cord wrap eliminates damage to microscope components from improper cord wrapping; vertical cord insertion prevents the cord from pulling partially out of the stand while in storage or in use.

The unique shape of the microscope stand protects controls from damage when microscopes are stored side-by-side.

EZGuide™

Student friendly slide holder to prevent slide chipping.

EZLite™

LED illumination provides cool, white light with a lifetime of over 20 years average use. No longer need to change lamps during lab time and save the expense of replacement lamps.

The cost-savings pays for several microscopes over their lifetimes.

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.

AgTreat™

The spread of disease from surfaces is of great concern, especially in educational environments. Leica Microsystems has integrated an additive so that all microscope touchpoints are treated to inhibit the growth of bacteria. This helps to prevent the spread of disease via the microscope surfaces and leads to a healthier laboratory environment. 

The Leica DM500 is ideal for first level Life Science courses.

The microscope’s stand features provide “plug and play” capability. All students need to do is turn the power on, place the specimen slide on the stage, focus, and enjoy the view!

Ready to work

Pre-centered, pre-focused condenser eliminates the need for adjustments
