Leica DM4 M & DM6 M Upright Materials Microscopes
If you need to image, measure, and analyze similar features across many samples in materials science and analysis, the Leica DM4 M and DM6 M industrial microscopes are perfect for you, regardless of your experience level.
The Leica DM4 M is ideal for manual routine inspection, while the Leica DM6 M is designed for fully automated materials analysis.
Both microscopes feature the unique Store and Recall software functions, which allow you to easily save and recall microscope settings for different sample types. This means that you can spend less time setting up your microscope and more time collecting data.
The Leica DM6 M also features One-button Intelligent Automation, which makes repetitive tasks easy and reduces training time. With the Leica DM6 M, you can be confident that you will get brilliant imaging results every time.

Reproducible Means Reliable
In applications such as steel inclusion rating, particle analysis, phase, or grain analysis, reproducibility matters. You can rely on the Leica DM4 M and Leica DM6 M microscope systems to provide reproducible results. Always!
- Save valuable time: With the Illumination Manager and Contrast Manager, the microscope automatically recognizes the selected contrast technique and objective in use, accurately opens and closes the aperture and field diaphragms, and adapts the light intensity.
- Share and compare your results – anytime and anywhere! Store and recall your microscope settings and camera parameters with the Leica Microscope Assistant (Leica LAS Store and Recall Module). They are saved and archived with the images and can be restored at any time.
Choose the Components You Need
Select your personal image analysis system that fits your requirements:
- The Leica Application Suite X (LAS X) software platform integrates the microscope, software, and camera into one package, focusing on efficiency in every aspect of the interface, functionality, and workflow.
- With the Leica DM6 M you can use additional modules such as Steel Expert, Cleanliness Expert, Grain Expert, and Phase Expert.
Leica SmartTouch touch screen
Hurry up!
Speed up your workflow with the Leica SmartTouch touch screen or freely programmable function buttons on the Leica DM6 M, as well as on the Leica SmartMove remote control.
Work comfortably and quickly with the Leica DM4 M: A clearly arranged display shows all microscope settings at a glance. Six function keys make frequently used functions easily accessible – without looking up from the sample.

Turn on the Light!
LED illumination contributes to reproducible results – whether you work with brightfield (BF), High Dynamic Darkfield (HDF), Differential Interference Contrast (DIC), Fluorescence (FL), or Polarization (POL).
- View your sample in constant color temperature at any microscope setting: No need to reset the camera every time the brightness is altered or to adjust white balance.
- Detect more imperfections and defects on your sample choosing one or several of the contrast methods available.
- Be energy-efficient and cost-effective: LED illumination saves energy – and with a lifetime of up to 72.000 hours, bulb changes causing microscope downtime are a thing of the past.
Spot on!
Detect even the finest details with the fully automated differential interference contrast (DIC) and the 1.25x Panorama objective:
- Reach your goal without great effort: With one touch of a button, all system components of the Leica DM6 M, such as the analyzer, polarizer, and appropriate prisms, automatically move into the light path, while the fine adjustments are stored for each objective.
- Get the best overview of your sample with the 1.25x Panorama objective. See every detail precisely and in excellent depth of field with the Leica DM4 M.
