The Dentist’s Eye
For Everyone Who Wants to See More:
The High-Performance Microscope for Dentists
Living up to Life

“If I can’t see perfectly, I can’t do my job to
its highest level. Our eyes are amazing, but
the Headmounted Microscope magnifies that
multiple times.”
Dr. Del Gregory, USA
The Dentist ’ s Eye
Leica HM500
Are you ready for a new era? Leica Microsystems has optimized
dental microscopy and redefined what ‘seeing’ means in dentistry.
Our clear objective: to design a mobile high-performance
microscope that would open new vistas in dental healthcare, to
give the dentist a better view than was ever possible before.
The Leica HM500, like the dental loupe, is worn on the head.
Based on state-of-the-art technology, it is the most advanced
dental microscope on the market. It is compact, lightweight, and
has optical qualities that have to be seen to be believed. In brief:
the Leica HM500 is an extension of your own eyes that allows you
to see more.
The Highlights:
• See everything as magnified as you want it;
you get the bigger picture and overlook nothing.
• View the relevant oral cavity zone three-dimensionally,
with no shadows, and always in bright light.
• Move freely and work very efficiently
without fatigue – just the way you want it to be.
• Compile high-quality documentation of every case,
from your perspective, and from the most revealing angle.

The New Perspective
The Eye with Leica Optics
The Leica HM500 is the high-performance ‘eye’ in progressive
dental healthcare. The Headmounted Microscope improves vision
by orders of magnitude and opens up new dimensions in many
respects. The Leica HM500 offers all of the benefits of a dental
microscope but with the freedom and flexibility of a dental loupe.
• It enhances your vision without changing
how you naturally look at the patient’s oral cavity.
• It optimizes what is seen with variable magnification.
• Its advanced focusing system allows you to change
your perspective without making any adjustments.
The Leica HM500 is high-performance at its finest: innovative
technology backed by decades of experience in microscopy –
Leica par excellence.
“What brings my work into a new level is the
fact that I can really see what I have done
and more importantly what I have to do! The
real benefit is that I can immediately judge the
outcome of surgery − it is not only the aesthetic
outcome, but also less pain, faster healing, and
better recovery for the patient.”
Dr. Solar, Austria

The New Light
Always in the Right Light
Integrated coaxial lighting delivers optical clarity. Your field of
vision is always completely and uniformly illuminated. The light
beam penetrates even the narrowest and deepest cavities and
brings all details to the fore. The shadow-free light delivers highfidelity
color and allows you to work with greater precision and
perfection.
With its excellent depth of field, the Leica HM500 assures an
outstanding view in the best light.
“Shadow-free illumination amplifies the crisp,
three-dimensional image provided by the
Headmounted Microscope. The more precisely
I can see, the more precisely I can work.”
Dr. Dirlewanger, Germany

Greater Mobility:
The New Freedom
Fit and Go
The Leica HM500 is quick and easy to fit using the technically and
ergonomically-refined headset. With its low weight and perfect
balance, you can perform your work in a fatigue-free manner over
longer periods of time while maintaining a comfortable posture.
The familiarization period is very short. Once you have mastered
the Leica HM500, you will not want to work without it.
“With this technology we can achieve
perfection for the outcome, and it takes
the stress and strain off of me. The freedom
of movement is unparalleled to all other
vision aids.”
Dr. Del Gregory, USA
Working Naturally
As an extension of your eye, the Leica HM500 follows even the
slightest head motions. You see what you want to see, always
in perfect focus. At the same time, your hands are free. All
microscope functions are controlled with the foot pedal. The
Leica HM500 allows you to concentrate on delivering flawless
dental treatment.
“I don’t need to touch anything if I want to
change my perspective.”
Dr. Solar, Austria

Better Documentation:
The New Way to Train and Consult
Share What You See
With the Leica HM500, a case can be displayed on the screen
with excellent resolution, precisely from your perspective. The
integrated autofocus camera is an outstanding resource for
observers. The assistant can see what you can see and efficiently
prepare for the next step. The Leica HM500 is ideal for real-time
training and teaching.
“Audio and video are synchronized, so
procedures are much easier for trainees
to grasp. Details are no longer left to the
imagination. I can demonstrate them on
the screen. Trainees who can listen and
look simultaneously learn much faster and
more easily.”
Dr. Dirlewanger, Germany
Communicate by Visualization
Additionally, the Leica HM500 is a communication instrument
that perfectly aids patient consultation. The excellent quality
documentation shows patients what has been achieved, which
steps come next, and how they will be accomplished.
“We use it for teaching our patients − it takes
out the mystery of the procedure and makes
the patient understand our work.”
Dr. Marshall, USA
