4. Unpacking the Microscope

Installation location

Work with the microscope should be performed in a dust-free room, which is free of oil vapors and other chemical vapors, as well as 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. 64, for additional instructions.

Caution:

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

Transport

For shipping or transporting the microscope and its accessory components, the original packaging should be used.

As a precaution to prevent damage from vibra- tions, the following components should be disas- sembled and packaged separately:

•Unscrew the objectives.

•Remove the condenser.

•Remove the stage.

•Remove the lamp housings.

•Disassemble the burner of 106 z lamp housing.

•Remove all moving or loose parts.
