Leica Documentation Tube HD V Photo Port

The Leica Documentation Tube HD V transforms your stereo microscope into a complete imaging workstation by providing flexible light distribution between visual observation and camera capture. The three-position selector allows operators to optimize light allocation based on immediate needs: 100% to eyepieces for maximum brightness during manual inspection and manipulation, 100% to camera for optimal image quality during documentation sessions, or a split configuration enabling simultaneous viewing and real-time image monitoring. This flexibility is particularly valuable in applications requiring frequent transitions between hands-on work and photographic documentation, such as quality control inspection, electronics assembly and rework, biological dissection, or materials characterization. The HD V designation indicates high-definition optical performance optimized for modern digital cameras, ensuring sharp, color-accurate images across the entire field of view. The intermediate tube design installs between the microscope head and body, maintaining parfocality and ergonomic positioning while adding imaging capability. Compatible with all Leica MZ and M series stereo microscopes, this documentation tube integrates seamlessly into existing systems and requires a Leica C-mount adapter (sold separately) matched to your specific microscope model for camera attachment.
