Care and Cleaning

General

ϘϘ Keeping all optical components clean is important for maintaining good optical performance.

ϘϘ Always cover the microscope with the Leica ICC50 HD camera with the plastic dust cover (provided with the microscope), when the instrument is not in use. Be sure power to the camera is off when the dust cover is in place.

ϘϘ If any optical surface becomes badly coated with dust or dirt, it should be cleaned by blowing the surface with a syringe or brush- ing it off with a camel hair brush before attempting to wipe the surface clean.

ϘϘ Optical surfaces should be cleaned with a lint-free cloth, lens tissue or a cotton swab moistened with methanol or commercially available glass cleaner. Do not use alcohol.

ϘϘ It is very important to avoid the excessive use of solvent. The lint-free cloth, lens tissue or cotton swab should be moistened with solvent, but not be wet enough for the solvent to seep around the lens.

Electrical Considerations

Risk of electric shock. Removing the covers of the Leica ICC50 HD Camera or the Stand-alone Kit exposes hazardous voltages,

which if contacted, could cause injury or death. Please contact an authorized Leica Microsys- tems dealer for technical service.
