Leica DM1000 LED User Manual

The Leica DM1000 LED is equipped with
integrated LED illumination. The service life of
the LED is about 100.000 hours. If, despite this, it
should be necessary to change the LED, this
task must be carried out by Technical Service
only.

The following instructions in this chapter refer to
the Leica DM1000 with tungsten halogen lamp.

Be sure that the microscope and lamp
housing are disconnected from the power
supply. Unplug the power plug and the po-
wer supply during assembly.

Light sources pose a potential irradiation
risk (glare, UV-radiation, IR-radiation).
Therefore, lamps have to be operated in
closed housings.

The transmitted light illumination with a low-
voltage tungsten halogen lamp (fig. 12) is
integrated in the base of the microscope and is
accessible from the right-hand side.
