5. Unpacking the Microscope
Installation location
Work with the microscope should be performed
in a dust-free room, which is free of oil vapors
and other chemical vapors, as well as extreme
humidity. At the workplace, large temperature
fluctuations, direct sunlight and vibrations should
be avoided. These conditions can distort mea-
surements and micrographic images.
Allowable ambient conditions
Temperature 15-35°C
Relative humidity maximum 80% up to 30°C
Microscopes in warm and warm-damp climatic
zones require special care in order to prevent the
build up of fungus.
See the chapter, "Care of the Microscope" for ad-
ditional instructions.
Caution!
When installing the microscope, make sure
the power inlet is freely accessible so that
the instrument can be quickly disconnected
from the mains if necessary.
Caution!
Electrical components must be placed at
least 10 cm from the wall and away from
flammable substances.

Transport
For shipping or transporting the microscope and
its accessory components, the original packag-
ing should be used.
As a precaution to prevent damage from vibra-
tions, the following components should be disas-
sembled and packaged separately:
• Unscrew the objectives.
• Remove the condenser.
• Remove the camera and the camera shield.
• Remove the eyepieces if not integrated.
• Remove all moving or loose parts.
• Lower the transmitted light illumination arm to
the S40 position. Fix the screw for height ad-
justment
Weight
The weight of the microscope depends on the
particular equipment.
Storage
Put a dust cover over your microscope after use
to protect it from dust.
