Servicing and repairs

Repairs may only be carried out by Leica-trained service technicians or by technical personnel authorized to do so by the person in charge of the instrument

Only original Leica spare parts may be used

Unplug the power cable before opening the supply unit.. Touching live circuits can cause injury..

Legal requirements

Adhere to general and local regulations relating to accident prevention and environmental protection..

Conformity with European Community directive

Leica stereo-fluorescence systems and their accessories are constructed in accordance with the latest technologies and are provided with a statement of conformity with EC requirements..

Supply unit

Pull the power plug of the supply unit out from the power soc- ket:

when assembling and dismantling the lamp housing

before opening the lamp housing

when changing the mercury-vapour burner and other components such as the heat-­protection filter or the collector

when servicing the supply unit

Lamp housing

Never open the lamp housing while the burner­ is switched on (risk of explosion, UV irradiation, dazzling)

Always allow the lamp housing to cool for at least 15 minutes before opening it (risk of burner exploding)

Never cover the ventilator slots on the lamp housing (risk of fire)

Warning

UV can damage your eyes.. Therefore:

Never look at the light spot on the specimen plane without the UV protection screen in position

Never look into the eyepieces unless there is an excitation filter in the beam path

Always keep dummy filter carriers in the unoccupied positions of the rapid filter changer (for MZ10 F)

Do not place the specimen on a white or highly-reflective background..
