Digital Microscope Leica DVM6
If you work in quality control/assurance, failure analysis, research and development, or in forensics, searching for the detail can take up a lot of your time in microscopy.
The Leica DVM6 digital microscope is fast, reliable and easy to use for every user. It is the perfect solution that combines outstanding optics, intuitive operation and smart software to save you time.
Accuracy matters – tested and guaranteed
With one of the lowest measurement uncertainty the Leica DVM6 sets new standards for digital microscopy:
- Measurement over the entire mag. range, with DVM6 calibrated at Vmax: +/- 1.5% (3σ)*
- Measurement over the entire mag. range, with DVM6 calibrated at a minimum of 7 different Zoom positions: +/- 0.5% (3σ)*
The repeatability of the stage and focus column for DVM6 A/S is:
- XY-Axis: +/- 3um
- Z-Axis: +/- 0.5um
The linearity of the stage and focus column is:
- XY-Axis: 0.2%
- Z-Axis: 0.1%
* The above only reflects instrument specific repeatability. Variations from varying focus positions and placement of the measurement bar influenced by the operator are not covered by the above data.
Ease of use: One step from macro to micro
With the DVM6, you can get from the big picture to smallest details in an instant. You can seamlessly carry on working even if changing objective is required, as the sample always stays in focus and no pre-adjustments are needed. With the tilting function you can observe your sample from different angles from up to ±60°.
Why the Leica DVM6 saves you time
- 16:1 zoom range makes changing between magnifications fast
- 2350x magnification shows you details down to 0.4 micrometers on the same microscope

Impressive Results: Rely on intelligent automation
Speed up your daily work and especially repetitive tasks with the DVM6. The system automatically stores settings for you in the background. The encoded functions of the digital microscope make your data accurate, reliable and help to prevent errors. The LAS X software supports you with easy navigation and offers a measurement tool for every need. You can be sure that every user delivers the same quality of data.
Why you can reproduce results easily
- Zoom range is continuously encoded and calibrated
- All instrument components are sensor-controlled
- All settings saved with every image, e.g. illumination, position, magnification
- Create a report for 2D and 3D measurements with one click
Intuitive software: Your autopilot
The LAS X software is a key factor in making the DVM6 fast, easy to use, and reliable. Create perfect images, either single shots or large stitched images in XYZ with predefined acquisition modes. Efficient analyses are inherent: You can measure in 2D and 3D, and annotate the image. At the end, you can export your results to a customized Excel report template with a single click.
How LAS X helps you speed up your workflow
- Improve your image easily with the Image Preview - choose out of six different suggestions. Customize those with your preferred settings with a single click
- Live image with High Dynamic Range (HDR) to see every detail right away
- Large brightness differences on the sample surface are displayed with detail richness making high dynamic differences in the sample nicely visible
