with end users and driving force of innovation at Leica Microsystems. We have developed fi ve
brand values to live up to this tradition: Pioneering, High-end Quality, Team Spirit, Dedication to
Science, and Continuous Improvement. For us, living up to these values means: Living up to Life.
Leica Microsystems operates globally in four divisions,
where we rank with the market leaders.
• Life Science Division
The Leica Microsystems Life Science Division supports the
imaging needs of the scientifi c community with advanced
innovation and technical expertise for the visualization,
measurement, and analysis of microstructures. Our strong
focus on understanding scientifi c applications puts Leica
Microsystems’ customers at the leading edge of science.
• Industry Division
The Leica Microsystems Industry Division’s focus is to
support customers’ pursuit of the highest quality end
result. Leica Microsystems provide the best and most
innovative imaging systems to see, measure, and analyze
the microstructures in routine and research industrial
applications, materials science, quality control, forensic
science investigation, and educational applications.
• Biosystems Division
The Leica Microsystems Biosystems Division brings
histopathology labs and researchers the highest-quality,
most comprehensive product range. From patient to
pathologist, the range includes the ideal product for each
histology step and high-productivity workfl ow solutions for
the entire lab. With complete histology systems featuring
innovative automation and NovocastraTM reagents, Leica
Microsystems creates better patient care through rapid
turnaround, diagnostic confi dence, and close customer
collaboration.
• Surgical Division
The Leica Microsystems Surgical Division’s focus is to
partner with and support surgeons and their care of
