Leica M420 System Brochure

Leica M420Macroscope The modular system Welcome! Thank you for your attention. We are proud to present the Leica M420 macroscope, a Leica creation. As with a stereomicroscope, large objects can be viewed in their entirety and without prepara- tion, thanks to the wide fields of view and the favourable working distances. However, the Leica M420 macroscope offers a vertical beam path and a high-resolution apochromatic zoom objective, making it ideal for distortion-free photography, for parallax-free measurement and for obtaining correct polarization colours. The modular system The Leica M420 macroscope is designed on the building-block principle and can be matched to the individual requirements of the user, and to the dictates of the workplace, at any time. This brochure shows a large number of combinations with appropriate accessories. A clear assembly diagram helps you to put together the specific configuration that you need. If you still have questions, get in touch with your local Leica agency or directly with Leica Microsystems Ltd in Heerbrugg, Switzerland. We will be pleased to help.
