5. Unpacking the Microscope
Please carefully compare the contents of the de-
livery to the packing slip, delivery note or invoice.
We strongly recommend storing a copy of these
documents with the manual to ensure that you
have information on the date and scope of deliv-
ery handy for subsequent orders or service work.
Please ensure that no small parts remain in the
packing material. Parts of the packing material
are marked by symbols to simplify recycling.
First, carefully remove all components from the
transportation and packaging materials.
Caution!
Do not put the instrument into operation in the
event of visible damage to the components or
packing material.
Note:
If at all possible, avoid touching the lens surfaces
of the objectives. If fi ngerprints do appear on the
glass surfaces, remove them with a soft leather
or linen cloth. Even small traces of fi nger perspi-
ration can damage the surfaces in a short time.
See the chapter „Care of the Microscope" → p.
109, for additional instructions.

Caution!
Do not connect the microscope or peripher-
als to an AC power source at this time under
any circumstances!
Installation Location
Work with the microscope should be performed
in a dust-free room, which is free of oil vapor and
other chemical vapor, as well as extreme humid-
ity. At the workplace, large temperature fl uc-
tuations, direct sunlight, and vibration should be
avoided. These may adversely affect measure-
ments and long-term observations.
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. 109, for additional instructions.
Caution!
Electrical components must be placed at
least 10 cm from the wall and away from
fl ammable substances.
