(Leica Microsystems: Heerbrugg, Switzerland) -- Digital microscopes by Leica Microsystems are successfully established as analytical instruments in applications such as pharmaceutics, materials research, and electronics production. Industrial quality control, which makes immense demands of macro- and microscopic imaging and image processing, derives particular benefit from innovative digital technology. Leica Microsystems now presents its next generation of digital microscopes, the Leica DVM5000 HD and DVM2500.

The Leica DVM2500 is a combination of a fast FireWire camera and a compact control unit. The camera is compatible with all the zoom optics of the Leica VZ series, and the optics are easily changed. The control unit integrates a powerful LED light source with adequate reserves for high magnifications. The use of standard Microsoft Windows interfaces facilitates the integration of the DVM2500 into existing IT infrastructures.
