Leica DM100 User Manual

 

Always use both hands to carry the 
microscope.

 

Ϙ

Keep all optical components clean.  Clean-
liness is important for maintaining good 
optical performance. 

 

Ϙ

When the microscope is not in use, it 
should always be put away with protection 
against dust. 

 

Ϙ

If any optical surface becomes coated with 
dust or dirt, clean the surface by blowing it 
off with a syringe or brushing it off with a 
camel hair brush before attempting to wipe 
the surface clean.

 

Ϙ

Optical surfaces should be cleaned using a 
lint-free cloth with a commercially available 
glass cleaner. 

 

Ϙ

Use solvent only very sparingly, so that it 
does not flow out over the lens. No part 
of the microscope is quite so vulnerable to 
collecting dirt, dust, and oil as the front lens 
of the objective. Whenever you encounter 
lack of contrast, cloudiness or poor defini-
tion, carefully check the condition of the 
front lens with a magnifier.
