Modular Design Everything is Relative | Leica M165 C, M205 A, M205 C

The Modular Design: Everything is Relative

The Leica M series provides maximum flexibil- ity in choosing equipment, thanks primarily to the modular configuration and the compatibil- ity that Leica has painstakingly maintained for decades. The optics carriers, eyepieces, bases and more can be combined in any way you choose, allowing you to create the microscope that best suits your needs.

Despite this, you will notice that the controls and individual components do not differ signif- icantly. Whichever configuration you choose, you will quickly feel right at home.
