5. Unpacking the Microscope

First, carefully remove all components from the transportation and packaging materials.

Note:

If at all possible, avoid touching the lens sur- faces of the objectives. If fingerprints do appear on the glass surfaces, remove them with a soft leather or linen cloth. Even small traces of finger perspiration can damage the surfaces in a short time. See the chapter "Care of the Microscope"

→p. 54, for additional instructions.

Caution!

Do not yet connect the microscope and pe- ripherals to the power supply at this point!

Installation Location

Work with the microscope should be performed in a dust-free room, which is free of vapors (oil, chemicals etc.) and of extreme humidity. At the workplace, large temperature fluctuations, direct sunlight and vibrations should be avoided. These conditions can distort measurements and micrographic images.

Allowable ambient conditions

Temperature	15-35°C
Relative humidity	maximum 80% up to 30°C

Microscopes in warm and warm-damp climatic zones require special care in order to prevent the build up of fungus.

See the chapter "Care of the Microscope" → p. 54, for additional instructions.

Caution!

Electrical components must be placed at least 10 cm away from the wall and away from flammable substances.
