The science department owns a Leica DM500 microscope which is capable of connecting to a computer (via USB) or a projector (via HDMI) to display slide contents in real time. Leica developed software for both MacOS and Windows to connect to the microscope and capture images, and you’re able to install this on your school-provided computer! | |||

Once you install the necessary software, simply open the program, and connect the provided USB cable (that comes with the microscope) to your computer. Your computer may install necessary drivers to interface properly with the microscope. Once this process is complete, you should be able to capture images directly from the microscope. Follow instructions included with the software or from the Leica website. Linked below are some resources that you may find helpful as you explore different microscope features etc. | |||
