Outstanding optics

and information technology

Experience and precision

Optical components of the highest quality and precision are the basis for complex

systems with diverse and demanding features. Surgical microscope instruments

from Leica are the result of years of extensive experience in the design of optical

systems and expanding the functionality by integrating the latest information tech-

nology.

Complete solution

The new Dual Imaging Color module completes the Leica M500 platform for high-

performance customized solutions in neurosurgery. The high requirements in this

discipline are perfectly covered: Quality, ergonomics, handling and mobility are

now combined with complete freedom in the integration of data.

Complete support

The signals of all known preoperative and intraoperative methods, such as CT/MRI

scanner, ultrasound, IGS, monitoring and neuro-endoscopy can be selected in the

easiest way and displayed in the highest quality, thereby perfectly supporting least-

invasive surgery in the neuro and related areas.

Integrated top quality

The high requirements of integrating up-to-date technology demand that we settle

for no less than the highest quality characteristics of the Dual Imaging Color Module:

• Highest display resolution

• Optimum overlay contrast

• Unsurpassed brightness

• Flexible observation of data

Maximum flexibility and easy handling

in clinical use, e.g. craniotomy

• Light-optimized beam paths

• Upgradability

• Outstanding ergonomics

• System solution

The dominance of your eyes

1 Overlaid IGS grid model in the left beam path

2 ICG fluorescence view in the right beam path

3 Video injection left with right beam path switched off

4 MRI slice in the left beam path, normal microscope

view in the right

Master-I-ViewTM

The new Leica DI C500 allows you to view injected data at any

time using the left or the right beam path. Truly unique to only the

Leica DI C500, Master-I-ViewTM allows the surgeon to integrate

data into the eyepiece of his dominant eye, whether left or right.

Full control

In addition, the Leica DI C500 offers both paths for viewing non-

correlated data. For example, if a surgeon controls the position of

an endoscope with his right eye and observes the endoscopic

video with his left eye, and now decides to exclusively concen-

trate on the injected data, he can switch off the second – in this

case, the right – viewing channel when working with non-corre-

lated data.

Individual – left and right

All modes can be individually saved and automatically adjust to

the position of the display, left or right.

New procedures

The Leica DI C500 supports perfectly the new fluorescence

process of perfusion detection with IndoCyanineGreen (ICG).

When looking into the microscope eyepieces the surgeon can

easily match the ICG fluorescence image with the natural white

light image of the anatomy.

Variety of system integration

The Leica Dual Imaging allows the integration of all important in-

tra-operative data into the surgical microscope. Both correlated

IGS structures and non-correlated information are displayed to the

surgeon and the assistant with the highest resolution.

The Leica DI C500 can be integrated with all standard data appli-

cations. Data from the IGS system, neuro-endoscopy video, ultra-

sound, standard scanner diagnostics and monitoring can be ac-

cessed by simple to use handles. Automated shutter control is

also integrated through the user-friendly handles.

Development interaction

Interactive, intraoperative communication for education and

training is an additional feature in the continuous development of

the Leica Dual Imaging.

Finer, clearer, brighter

Leica uses only outstanding top technology to do true justice to

the rich diversity of the data to be displayed. Leica has adapted

special military technology which consists of three separate

LCD displays of the highest optical quality for red, blue, and green

at 1024×768 pixels, for an outstanding true color matrix presented

in the final product.

Automatic shutter control

Leica, inventor of the shutter function for the display of non-

correlated data, has continued the development of this principle

to perfection. (German Utility Model: DE 299 23 951 U, pending PCT

Patent Application WO 01/27659 A2).

Individual setup

QUAD Shutter TechnologyTM allows the surgeon to choose any

data and the integration channel, without having to manually

close the shutter function. This is done automatically by the sys-

tem itself.

Individual setups of the second shutter can be stored and will fol-

low automatically the position of the injected image, left or right.

More light

The new Leica Dual Imaging Color Module offers perfect light

management of the observation beam paths without loss of light.

The unique integration of the assistant ports provides light only to

the definitive users and leads to a visible increase of brightness as

compared to conventional solutions.

Flexible

The new optical design allows for the best possible and flexible

adaptation of the mono observers – as well as the video option for

all aspects in cranial and spinal surgery.

Ease of operation supports the functional availability in all situa-

tions – an important plus for the outstanding image quality of the

Leica M500 series.

Modular

The advantages of the Leica Dual Imaging Color Module can natu-

rally be transferred to existing Leica microscopes with Leica

M500 N and Leica M520 optics carriers.

Ergonomic

Comfort and ease of function have been Leica’s highest goals in

the development of new, ergonomically adapted handles. Stan-

dard functions of brake release, zoom, and focus are easily ac-

cessible. The Dual Imaging and any adapted information system,

e.g. IGS, is controlled via the integrated multifunctional control

button. All handle functions are matched to the Leica CAN bus.

On/off switching of the control data is always done using the same

button sector, providing the basis for ease of operation. The three

other touch points control the parameters and menus of the sys-

tems.

System-oriented

Based on the CAN bus connection between Leica DI C500,

IGS system, Leica M500N/M520 control unit and handles,

IGS data – particularly correlated and overlaid injected data – are

automatically adjusted to the correct perspective if the data dis-

play changes from the left to the right beam path and vice versa.

Short observation distances

because of extra low design

Short design

The ergonomics of the Leica DI C500 results from the 45° tube

adaptation and choices for different Leica tubes.

The result – a shorter height from eyepieces to operative site –

supports every surgery situation, even special ones such as pos-

terior fossa.

Easy and relaxed

Built-in rotatable 30° binocular adapters allow the surgeon and

assistant to reorient their binoculars when the optical head is tilt-

ed in acute side to side positions.

The feather-light touch of the Leica M520 optics carrier in combi-

nation with the Leica Dual Imaging Color is ensured by a complete

balancing.
