Use

The microscopes including their original accessories must not be used for microscopic techniques other
than those described in this Operating Manual.
Please observe the following safety notes when using the microscopes:
The manufacturer cannot assume any liability for other applications, including those of
individual modules or single components. This also applies to any service or repair work that is
not carried out by authorized service personnel. In case of non-compliance, all warranty claims
shall be forfeited.
Opening of the device is only allowed to accordingly instructed specialists or to the Service
staff.
The LED module of the reflected-light fluorescence illuminator emits LED light of class 3B. For
this reason, never look directly into the light and avoid in any case direct exposure of the skin to
the light. When working with the microscope, it is absolutely necessary to use the
corresponding protective equipment.
Never look into the light beam - neither with nor without optical instruments, not even if you
simply wanted to observe the specimen. In case of non-observance your eyes may be damaged!
Do not operate the devices and their accessories included in the delivery in potentially explosive
areas, in the presence of volatile anesthetics or combustible solvents, such as alcohol, benzene
or similar chemicals.
Dirt and dust may impair the performance of the devices. They must therefore be protected
from such influences to the greatest possible extent and covered with the dust cover when not
in use. Always check whether the devices are switched off before you cover them (blue power-
on light is off).
The microscopes may only be operated by trained personnel who must be aware of the
possible dangers involved with microscopy and the particular application concerned. The
microscope may be put into operation only if placed on a stable, solid, smooth and hardly
flammable surface.
The microscope is a high-precision instrument that can be impaired in its performance or even
be destroyed when handled improperly.
The microscope is equipped with a plug-in power unit allowing line voltages to be used in the
range between 100 and 240 V ±10%, 50/60 Hz, without any need for changing the voltage
setting on the instrument.
The plug-in power unit meets the requirements of protection class II (with protective
insulation). If its casing is damaged, put the plug-in power unit out of operation. The
microscope may be operated only with the supplied plug-in power unit.
