  • Page 2 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.

  • Page 8: Incident-Light Stands

    Incident-light stand The requirements Incident-light stand It must be possible to arrange the stereomicroscope work station The incident-light stand consists of a stable baseplate and a 300mm- or 500mm long side- exactly in accordance with requirements. The instrument can faced column. The column bears the focusing drive and therefore also the microscope carrier only be fully integrated into the work process if the sturdy stand and the optics carrier.
  • Page 9: Swinging-Arm Stands

    Swinging-arm stands Swinging-arm and table-clamp stands These stands offer ample space for large objects such as rocks, metal objects or circuit boards, which can be manipulated directly on the surface of the bench. The many possibilities for adjusting on the column, the horizontal arm and the inclinable carrier rod enable the working area to be planned as required.
  • Page 10: Universal Stand

    Universal stand Universal stand The universal stand is noted for its stability. Vibrations, which can cause difficulties at high magnifications and in photography, are elimi- nated. Large objects, and stage carriers with magnetic linkage that will accept various stages, can be conveniently positioned on its baseplate.
  • Page 11: Incident Illuminators

    Incident illuminators The requirements Oblique incident light, dark field The correct illuminator is the key to informative investigation and Three-dimensional objects are illuminated obliquely from above. The angle of incidence inspection. The better the illumination of the object, the more can be anything from steep to flat.
  • Page 12 • Light intensity adjustable using variable- or step transformer. The 6V/20W incident lamp is the preferred Leica M420 with cold-light source choice for ideal light quality, high light output, Leica CLS150 and ring lamp completely-uniform illumination, and a colour temperature of 3200K.
