Work with the microscope should be performed
in a dust-free room, which is free of vapors (oil,
chemicals etc.) and of extreme humidity. At the
workplace, large temperature fluctuations,
direct sunlight and vibrations should be avoided.
These conditions can distort measurements and
micrographic images.

Microscopes in warm and warm-damp climatic
zones require special care in order to prevent
the build up of fungus.

for additional instructions.

Electrical components must be placed at least
10 cm away from the wall and away from
flammable substances.

First, carefully remove all components from the
transportation and packaging materials.

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"
