The Leica DM100 is an optical instrument for 
improving the visibility of objects through 
magnification and illumination. It is used for 
observing.

The Leica DM100 microscope may be used only 
in closed rooms and must be placed on a solid 
surface.

The Leica DM100 can be used at +10 °C to 
+40°C. Protect the microscope from oil, chemi-
cals and extreme humidity. If it is used outdoors, 
the microscope must be protected from dust 
and moisture. Never use electrical instruments 
outdoors and place them at least 10 cm away 
from the wall and from flammable substances.

Avoid large temperature fluctuations, direct 
sunlight and vibrations. These conditions 
can distort measurements and micrographic 
images.

 

In warm and warm-damp climatic zones, 
the individual components require 

special care in order to prevent the build-up of 
fungus.
