Leica DM500 B Manuel D’Utilisation

• 

Always carry the microscope using two 
hands. There is a handle on the back of 

the microscope and an undercut in the front for 
this purpose.

  

  

  

 

Ϙ

The cord wrap allows you to wrap the cord 
in such a way that only the length you need 
is extended.

 

Ϙ

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

 

Ϙ

The microscope should always be covered 
with the plastic dust cover (provided with 
the instrument) when it is not in use.

 

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 with a 
lint-free cloth, lens tissue or a cotton swab 
moistened with methanol or a commer-
cially available glass cleaner. Do not use 
alcohol.

 

Ϙ

It is very important to avoid the excessive 
use of solvents, so use them sparingly. The 
lint-free cloth, lens tissue or cotton swab 
should be moistened with solvent, but 
not be wet enough for the solvent to seep 
around the lens.
