This manual is an important part of the Leica
DM IL microscope and should be carefully
read before switching on and using the
instrument.
This manual contains important instructions and
information with regard to operating safety and
maintenance of the system. For this reason, it
should be carefully kept at hand.

General safety information
Only fuses of the specified type and rating may
be used as replacements. Never use repaired
fuses or short-circuited fuse holders.
Attention!
The instruments and accessories described
in this manual have been safety-tested and
checked for possible hazards.
Before modifying the instrument in any way
or combining it with non-Leica products not
covered by this manual, please always
contact your local Leica representative or the
main factory in Wetzlar!
Any unauthorised interference with the
instrument or use of the instrument for
applications for which it is not designed will
automatically void any warranty claim!
This instrument of Safety Category I has been
built and tested according to EN 61 010-1/
IEC 1010-1, Safety Standards for Electronic
Measuring Instruments, Electronic Regulators
and Electronic Laboratory Instruments.
Attention!
To maintain this condition and to ensure safe
operation, the user must note and adhere to
the directions and warnings contained in this
manual.
The mains plug may only be inserted into a
grounded socket.
The protection must not be jeopardised by using
an extension cable without ground conductor.
Any break in the ground conductor within or
outside the instrument or loosening of the
ground connection can render the unit
dangerous. Intentional severance is prohibited!
Attention!
Accessory devices connected to the
microscope which have a separate and/or
different power supply should be brought to
the same ground potential by connecting
them to the same grounding system. Contact
the service department in case of an
ungrounded mains supply .

Attention!
The electrical accessories for the micro-
scope are not protected against the
penetration of water which can result in
electrical shock.
Do not set up the microscope and its
accessories in the immediate vicinity of a
water outlet or in other places where water
may penetrate into the instrument.
Attention!
Before replacing fuses or lamps, always
switch off the power switch and disconnect
the power cord.
Attention!
Protect the microscope against excessive
temperature fluctuations which may lead to
condensation and thus damage the electrical
and optical components.
Attention!
When using immersion oil, take care to avoid
skin contact! Ask the supplier for a safety
data sheet!

Application
The Leica DM IL microscope is designed for
routine examinations of cell and tissue cultures,
liquids, and sediments.
Two basic microscope stands are available for
biologic applications. One is the standard bright
field version using the contrasting methods
bright field (BF), phase contrast (Phaco), and
Integrated Modulation Contrast (IMC), the other
is the fluorescence microscope which also
offers incident-light fluorescence in addition
to the three transmitted-light contrasting
techniques.
All microscope techniques and the required
accessories for the Leica DM IL are described
and explained in detail in the Operation section
of this manual, including the associated
functions and their use.
