Unpacking The Microscope - Leica DM2000 Operating Manual

5. Unpacking the Microscope

First, carefully remove all components from the
transportation and packaging materials.
Note:
If at all possible, avoid touching the lens sur-
faces of the objectives. If fingerprints do appear
on the glass surfaces, remove them with a soft
leather or linen cloth. Even small traces of finger
perspiration can damage the surfaces in a short
time. See the chapter "Care of the Microscope"
→ p. 64, for additional instructions.
Caution!
Do not yet connect the microscope and pe-
ripherals to the power supply at this point!

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
measurements and micrographic images.
Allowable ambient conditions

Microscopes in warm and warm-damp climatic
