Because Leica Microsystems went all the way and didn’t merely modify existing microscopes. We developed a totally new one from the bottom up. That is why the Leica dental microscope is the first system of its kind explicitly designed for modern dental medicine. The effort was worthwhile. The result is impressive: Leica M320 F12 LED technology in a dental microscope: a global debut The future belongs to LED technology. It is aesthetic, costeffective, and ecologically sound, while producing excellent quality illumination. Daylight-temperature LEDs provide high fidelity image colors. LEDs have no start-up delay: when switched on, they instantly deliver full light output. Additionally, because LEDs are small and compact, they are conducive to attractive product design approaches. Finally, the 60,000-hour lifetime of an LED bulb exceeds that of conventional light sources by far and eliminates the need to replace fiber optic cables as well. All in all, LED illumination significantly reduces cost of ownership. Leica optics: the new paradigm of seeing No other optics brand is associated with more prestige and heritage than Leica. To the general public, the name stands for the highest quality photography; in the medical environment, it is respected by surgeons and microsurgeons. Crystal clear apochromatic optical quality is the core component of Leica Microsystems’ high-level surgical microscopes. The same applies to the Leica M320 F12. Its optical system allows you to see more details than ever before. As the world’s first configuration with LED illumination, the Leica M320 F12 opens up new dimensions in vision: absolutely crisp, clear, and bright images with amazing depth of field for dental surgery and procedures. The Information Age in Dental Medicine High-definition imaging The growing need for information places more demands on the dentist, while at the same time opening up new opportunities for sharing and documenting procedures. The Leica M320 F12 features as an option an integrated HD camera and recording system that has the ability to take a 3-megapixel still image or a 1280 × 720p MPEG-4 video and save all data onto an internal SD memory card. The Leica imaging technology makes it easy to share information for teaching or consultation purposes, document cases, keep records, present at meetings, and a wide variety of different uses. Visual resources have become part of dental care and are instrumental for positioning in the competitive environment. Dentists who can visualize their skills gain trust. Unparalleled positioning flexibility In addressing the requirements of the dentist, Leica Microsystems went beyond the refinement of optics and LED illumination and also focused on ease of use and maneuverability. All of the system articulations are exactly where they need to be and move with high-level precision. The microscope can be effortlessly positioned anywhere. The sophisticated mechanical engineering is easy to feel while using the microscope, and the stand features vibration-minimizing bearings for overall stability. Hands-on Design for a Pleasant Ambience Functional elegance is more than the result of an advanced design philosophy. It has a highly pragmatic origin: form follows function. The Leica dental microscope is virtually jointless, which makes it resistant to contaminants and easy to clean. All cables are routed internally. The surface is protected with a permanent antimicrobial coating. The handles can be washed and sterilized. With its understated, contemporary design and slender silhouette, the Leica M320 F12 integrates well with any modern dental practice and is perceived by dentists, medical staff, and patients as a graceful, high-tech instrument. The Eye with Leica Optics The Leica HM500 is the high-performance ‘eye’ in progressive dental healthcare. The Headmounted Microscope improves vision by orders of magnitude and opens up new dimensions in many respects. The Leica HM500 offers all of the benefits of a dental microscope but with the freedom and flexibility of a dental loupe. It enhances your vision without changing how you naturally look at the patient’s oral cavity. It optimizes what is seen with variable magnification. Its advanced focusing system allows you to change your perspective without making any adjustments.   The Leica HM500 is high-performance at its finest: innovative technology backed by decades of experience in microscopy – Leica par excellence. Always in the Right Light Integrated coaxial lighting delivers optical clarity. Your field of vision is always completely and uniformly illuminated. The light beam penetrates even the narrowest and deepest cavities and brings all details to the fore. The shadow-free light delivers highfidelity color and allows you to work with greater precision and perfection. With its excellent depth of field, the Leica HM500 assures an outstanding view in the best light. “If I can’t see perfectly, I can’t do my job to its highest level. Our eyes are amazing, but the Headmounted Microscope magnifies that multiple times.” Dr. Del Gregory, USA “What brings my work into a new level is the fact that I can really see what I have done and more importantly what I have to do! The real benefit is that I can immediately judge the outcome of surgery − it is not only the aesthetic outcome, but also less pain, faster healing, and better recovery for the patient.” Dr. Solar, Austria “Shadow-free illumination amplifies the crisp, three-dimensional image provided by the Headmounted Microscope. The more precisely I can see, the more precisely I can work.” Dr. Dirlewanger, Germany “With this technology we can achieve perfection for the outcome, and it takes the stress and strain off of me. The freedom of movement is unparalleled to all other vision aids.” Dr. Del Gregory, USA “I don’t need to touch anything if I want to change my perspective.” Dr. Solar, Austria “Audio and video are synchronized, so procedures are much easier for trainees to grasp. Details are no longer left to the imagination. I can demonstrate them on the screen. Trainees who can listen and look simultaneously learn much faster and more easily.” Dr. Dirlewanger, Germany “We use it for teaching our patients − it takes out the mystery of the procedure and makes the patient understand our work.” Dr. Marshall, USA Fit and Go: The New Freedom The Leica HM500 is quick and easy to fit using the technically and ergonomically-refined headset. With its low weight and perfect balance, you can perform your work in a fatigue-free manner over longer periods of time while maintaining a comfortable posture.
