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.
Save time for 2D and 3D analysis
Optimize your workflow with the DVM6 digital microscope LAS X software from Leica Microsystems.
LAS X.next, a streamlined software user interface, helps you to save time when acquiring 2D and 3D scanned images. This makes task-flows clearer, simpler and intuitive for operators due to its streamlined user interface and fast navigation.
Carry out your component analysis faster. LAS X.next guides you through image acquisition, measurement, and reporting, providing an efficient workflow and reliable reproducibility of results. It provides a straightforward operation for the DVM6 system for faster completion of your work steps.
Benefit from
- Fast and straightforward navigation: Predefined task-flows help to reduce complexity, therefore saving time for users with different levels of experience
- Smart illumination: Assisted image brightness algorithms make it effortless to get the perfect image setting
- Easy acquisition of 2D and 3D images: Use interactive scan points to define a scan area or volume
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
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
- Horizontal field of view ranges from 35 mm to 0.18 mm at same focus level
One-hand operation
You will become an expert in virtually no time!
- Work seamlessly thanks to one-handed objective change
- Stay focused and operate the tilting function with one hand
- Hybrid manual-motorized operation of X, Y and Z - smart automation helps you to be faster
- Easy to operate, so little training time is needed

Discover your possibilities with optional accessories
Make visible what was previously invisible with a wide variety of illumination options and accessories.
- Explore hard-to-image regions of interest with the BLI Transmitted Illumination Adapter (Backlight Illumination) for precise analysis of thermal vias in PCBs or inspection of transparent materials, for example.
- Effectively reduce glare on reflective samples, such as polished metal surfaces with the Diffusor Adapter.
- Accurately identify particle contamination or material properties with the Polarizer Adapter.
- Easily access any sample, even if it is large or bulky with a larger microscope stand - the DVM6 interface module allows you to mount the zoom module onto an XL focus column from Leica Microsystems.
Find your Leica DVM6 configuration
The Leica DVM6 digital microscope is available in three different configurations to help you find the solution that best fits your application and budget needs.
Choose between three options
- Do you need high resolution images and application versatility? The DVM6 C is the perfect microscope if you cannot compromise on image quality.
- Are you also looking for multi-focus images and 3D-analysis? With the DVM6 S you add the comfort of a motorized focus to the imaging capabilities. And you will love the autofocus.
