LMS Top News LMS Homepage Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:29:00 +0100 Leica DM2700 M - New Materials Microscope with LED Illumination http://www.leica-microsystems.com/ The ideal microscope for all kinds of routine inspection tasks in metallography, earth science, forensic investigation, and materials quality control and research. The new materials microscope Leica DM2700 M from Leica Microsystems is the ideal microscope for all kinds of routine inspection tasks in metallography, earth science, forensic investigation, and materials quality control and research. It offers users a state-of-the-art universal white-light LED illumination with high-quality Leica optics.

The ultra-bright, high-power LED illumination provides users a constant color temperature of 4500 K for brightfield, darkfield, interference contrast and polarized light. In addition, users can experience improved surface inspection details with the built-in oblique illumination technology. Real color imaging can be obtained with all brightness intensity levels and lower cost of ownership is realized with the long lifetime and low power consumption of LED illumination technology.

Experience the Leica DM2700 M

In this Leica Science Lab article you learn how forensic biologist Dr. Mark Benecke gains insights to be able to answer questions like:

How long has a corpse been exposed to the elements?

Did the person die indoors or outdoors?

What does the blood spatter pattern say about how a violent crime was committed?
