Leica M500 Microscope

The Leica M500 is a high-performance ophthalmic surgical microscope designed to offer unmatched user-friendliness and optical precision for anterior-segment and vitreo-retinal procedures. A generation newer than the classic M690, the M500 was the first Leica ophthalmic microscope to utilize advanced fiber optic light guide technology, delivering superior light quality and heat control. With its patented overhead stand design, the M500 provides perfect balance across six axes, making it one of the easiest systems in the industry to maneuver and position in the operating room.
