General Instructions

Safety concept

Before using your microscope for the first time, please read the "Safety concept" brochure included with your instrument. It contains addi- tional information about handling and care.

Use in clean rooms

The Leica M series can be used in clean rooms without any problems.

Cleaning

Do not use any unsuitable cleaning agents, chemicals or techniques for cleaning.

Never use chemicals to clean colored surfaces or accessories with rubberized parts. This may damage surfaces and abraded particles may contaminate prepa- rations.

In most cases, we can provide special solu- tions on request. Some products can be modified, and we can offer other accesso- ries for use in clean rooms.

Servicing

Repairs may only be carried out by Leica Microsystems-trained service technicians. Only original Leica Microsystems spare parts may be used.

Responsibilities of person in charge of instrument

Ensure that the Leica stereomicroscope is operated, maintained and repaired by authorized and trained personnel only.
