Safety Items
Warning: ONLY use the power supply provided
by Leica. It is imperative that the DC power sup-
ply has output over-current protection, as the
power input of the light sources are not fused.
The DC power supply must have the AC power
cord connected to a receptacle with a protective
safety (earth) ground terminal
Warning: DO NOT look into the output of the
light engine. The brightness of this light source
is higher than most commercial lighting fixtures
and is intended to couple directly into a micro-
scope or other bioanalytjcal instrument.
Warning: DO NOT turn on the light without the
output end of the light guide safely directed
into an enclosed optical path. DO NOT point the
light output directly onto any flammable or burn-
susceptible material. This includes all animal or
vegetable tissues, plastics, fabrics, paper and
liquids
