The Leica LED1, LED3, LED5 and LED8 com-
pact light sources generate high-energy light
with invisible UV components and has been
classified in risk group 3 (high risk) in accor-
dance with EN62471-1 while the light guide
is not connected to the microscope/system.
There is a general risk of being dazzled or
blinded by light! Never look directly into the
light guide output of the instrument or into
the output of the light guide connected to the
instrument. Always ensure that the output of
the connected light guide is securely con-
nected to the system to be illuminated before
switching on the compact light source. Fur-
thermore, before switching on the compact
light source, dim the light output to prevent
damage to the connected system. During op-
eration, the light guide must not be removed
from the microscope/system. While connect-
ed to the microscope/system, the risk group 1
(low risk) has been classified. Please see the
instructions on this topic in the microscope
instructions for use.
