Product description
The Leica HM500 is a global first in the field of optical aids to
vision and has the following features:
•Variable working distance (specimen – eye) which can be
varied between 300 and 700 mm with the aid of the autofocus
feature—in addition, the focus can be controlled manually by
the footswitch.
• Using the speed focus (holding down the manual focus
switch activates autofocus), you can focus quickly and pre-
cisely on the desired specimen, even in manual mode.
• For the standard eyepiece (20x), the magnification range is
between 2.9–7x. Within this range, each factor can be
selected using a foot switch.
Optional: Interchangeable eyepieces, eyepieces I (14x):
2.0x–4.8x or eyepiece II (26x): 3.75x–9x easily interchangeable
by the user.
• Automatic parallax compensation for focusing.
• Individual adaptation to eye characteristics (distance
between pupils) and correction of defective vision
(near/farsightedness, astigmatism) by means of an eyepiece
for eyeglass wearers.
• Improved depth perception and 3 effect due to an enlarged
stereoscopic parallax.
• The Leica HM500 does not need to be connected to the
power supply system to operate but runs on a battery
(footswitch) which gives a warning when the charge falls
below 10 %.
• Ergonomic headset with infinitely variable height adjustment
and adjustment of main movement axes.
• The ergonomic design of the Leica HM500 also enables the
user to view specimens to the side and below and above the
Leica HM500.
• To afford an unrestricted view downwards, the Leica HM500
can also be swung upwards without the headset needing to
be taken off.
• Integrated coaxial light for shadow-free illumination of the
operating field.
• Integrated autofocus camera in color for parallax-free pre-
sentation of the image information on a monitor, for example.
