LEICA MICROSYSTEMS

Leica Microsystems develops and manufactures microscopes and scientific instruments for the analysis of micro and nanostructures. The optical precision of the devices and the innovative technology of the company are valued worldwide. It is a market leader in the fields of classical light microscopy and stereo microscopy, digital microscopy, confocal microscopy, and related imaging systems, as well as sample preparation for electron microscopy and surgical microscopes. The company, which operates globally today, was founded as a family business in the 19th century. The entrepreneur Ernst Leitz I., who led the company to international fame, coined the guiding principle still valid for Leica Microsystems today: "with the user, for the user." By incorporating ideas from users and developing solutions that meet their needs, the company continually sets new standards in the markets it serves. This also applies to additional services that Leica Microsystems offers its customers: technical services, as well as support for practical applications and all related inquiries. Leica Microsystems has seven major production sites and development centers worldwide. The company has representatives in over 100 countries, sales and service companies in 20 countries, and an international network of distribution partners. The company is headquartered in Wetzlar, Germany.
