Protection from dirt
Dust and dirt will affect the quality of your
results.
Place a dust cover (optional) over the
components when they are not in use for an
extended period of time.
Keep accessories in a dust-free place
when not in use.
Removing the covers
of the components exposes hazardous
voltages. Risk of electric shock and death.
Do not clean any interior parts
yourself.
Please contact an authorized Leica
dealer for technical service.

Care and cleaning of the Mateo TL unit
Keeping all components clean is important
for maintaining good optical performance.
Do not use any unsuitable cleaning
agents, chemicals or techniques for cleaning.
Clean the microscope surface using paper
towels dampened with 70% ethanol.
Protect your components from moisture,
fumes and acids and from alkaline, caustic
and corrosive materials.
Glass surfaces, and particularly objectives,
are always to be cleaned as described in the
brochure "Cleaning of Microscope Optics". You

Care and Maintenance
Never use chemicals (e.g., thinners containing
acetone, xylene or nitrogen) to clean the
components, in particular-colored surfaces or
accessories with rubberized parts. This could
damage the surfaces, and specimens could
be contaminated by abraded particles.
Test cleaning solutions of unknown
composition on a less visible area of the
components first. Ensure that coated or
plastic surfaces do not become matted or
etched. Protect your components from oil
and grease.
Do not grease guide surfaces or mechanical
parts.
