Congratulations on obtaining your new Leica M series stereomicroscope. We are convinced it will exceed your expectations, as never before have we applied our decades of experience in the areas of optics, mechanical engineering and ergonomics in such an uncompromising manner.

The Leica M series embodies all the qualities you associate with the name Leica Microsystems: excellent objectives, high-quality engineering, and reliability. Furthermore, the modular design ensures that the M series adapts perfectly to your needs—no matter which accessories you require for your tasks.

Though the reliability and robustness of Leica stereomicroscopes is legendary, like any high-tech product, the Leica M series requires a certain degree of care and attention. Therefore, we recommend that you read this manual. It contains all the information you need regarding operation, safety and maintenance. Simply observing a few guidelines will ensure that even after years of intensive use, your stereomicroscope will continue to work as smoothly and reliably as on the very first day.

We wish you the best of success in your work— after all, you are now equipped with the best tool!
