Important notes on this manual
The Leica DM R microscope series consists of
several basic stands and a range of modular
components allowing an almost unlimited
variety of individual outfits.
Therefore this manual has been given a modular
layout as well to show you other possible
configurations besides your own.
The manual is divided into two main chapters:
Assembly (including a brief description of each
component) and
Operation.
Any alterations or additional information are
described on extra pages. There is a
supplementary manual for the automatic
version. The manuals are multilingual. Due to
the spiral binding you can turn the language you
want to the front. The manual can be filed in the
supplied folder with the transparent plastic
tongues.

copies of this manual, from our agencies for a
cover charge.

tions, i.e. Fig. 1, pos. 2 in this example.
