Instructions on Use

The Leica DM500 microscope may be

used only in closed rooms and must be

placed on a solid substrate.

The Leica DM500 microscope can be used in

clean rooms without any problems.

Always position the Leica DM500 micro-

scope so that you can disconnect it from

the power supply at any time. The power cable

must remain accessible at all times, because it is

intended as a power disconnect device.

Place of use

them from dust and moisture. Never use electri-

cal devices outdoors. Install electrical devices at

least 10 cm from the wall and away from ﬂam-

mable 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.

Non-intended use

scope of this manual!

Unauthorized alterations to the instru-

ment or noncompliant use shall void all

rights to any warranty claims.
