Assembly/General information
Unpacking
Please compare the delivery carefully with the
packing note, delivery note or invoice. We
strongly recommend that you keep a copy of these
documents with the manual, so that you have
information on the time and scope of delivery
later when ordering more equipment or when
the microscope is serviced. Make sure that no
small parts are left in the packing material.
Some of our packing material has symbols
indicating environmental-friendly recycling.
!
Attention:
When taking the microscope out of its packing
and putting it onto the desk take care not to
damage the sensitive vibration-damping feet on
the bottom of the microscope.
Attention:
Do not connect the microscope and periph-
erals to the mains yet! (see page 53).

Attention:
Make sure that the workplace is free from oil
and chemical fumes. Vibrations, direct sunlight
and major temperature deviations have a nega-
tive effect on measurements and photomicro-
graphy. This and an ergonomically designed
chair which can be adjusted in several positions
are the basic prerequisites for fatigue-free micro-
scopy.

Attention:
Fire hazard! Keep lamphousings at least
10 cm (4˝) away from inflammable objects
such as curtains, wallpaper or books!
