5. Unpacking the microscope

The microscope is delivered in two packages.

The stand package contains the following com- ponents:

Stand with integrated incident light axis and objective turret

Specimen stage with stage bracket

Power cable and PC connecting cable

CD with Leica Application Suite (LAS) soft- ware package

Instructions and list of microscope default settings

The system package contains the microscope’s accessories:

Tube

Eyepieces

Objectives

Condenser

Lamp housings with accessories

Assembly tools

Additional microscope accessories such as filter cubes, etc. depending on product con- figuration

The external ebq 100 supply unit* is delivered in a separate package.

For the Leica DM5000 B microscope:

The Leica CTR5000 electronics box is delivered in a separate package.

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

Note:

If at all possible, avoid touching the lens surfac- es 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 of optical devices in a short time. See the chapter on "Care of the microscope" p. 77 for additional in- structions.

Caution!

Do not connect the microscope or periph- erals to an AC power source at this time under any circumstances!
