Safety Concept - Leica M-Series User Manual

To you, the user
Thank you for your trust. We wish you success and satisfaction
in your work with your new stereomicroscope from Leica.
The innovative technology of the new stereomicroscope line
from Leica is expressed externally in the avant-garde form of the
instrument. The rounded shapes, with their elliptical tendencies,
demonstrate that beauty can be practical.
In developing this new stereomicroscope line we have placed
great weight on simple, self-explanatory directions. We have
however put a lot of effort into explaining all functions to you by
means of pictures and text. You will only get the best out of
your stereomicroscope if you take the trouble to study this user
manual in detail.
If you still have a question sometime, just contact your local
Leica agency or get in touch directly with Leica Microscopy
Systems Ltd, Heerbrugg, Switzerland. We are gladly at your
service. Customer service is a big thing with us. Not only before
the sale, but afterwards as well.*
* The business units of Leica Microsystems hold
the management system certificates for the international
standards ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 relating to quality
management, quality assurance and environmental
management.
