1 Indications for Usage of Microscope

1.1 General Information

To avoid mishandling of the product, make sure to read the user manual of the microscope M8

and this user manual before installing and using the microscope.

This user manual is designed to make it easier to learn how to use the software

“TouchMicroscope” and take advantage of its intended applications.

This user manual contains important information designed to operate the Digital Microscope M8

safely, properlyand economically. Observing these instructions helps to avoid risks, reduce repair

costs and downtime and increase the reliability and lifetime of the product.

This user manual must be stored away within reach of the device!

In addition to the general operating instructions, observe and instruct legal and other binding

regulations relating to accident prevention and environmental protection! Such obligations may

also be, for example, the handling of hazardous materials or the provision / wearing of personal

protection.

This manual can’t cover all cases necessary for safety instructions. Therefore, it does contain

only a small variety of safety provisions. Hence, it lies in the user’s responsibility to use the

equipment with diligent care and consideration.

Staff, charged with operating the device, must read the operating instruction (particularly the

chapter safety instructions) before working with the product.

The microscope is certified to DIN EN 61321-1 (VDE 0843-20-1:2013-07) and DIN EN 61326-2-

2 (VDE 0843-20-2-2:2013-08).

1.2 Target Group

Only staff who have been briefed and trained in the use of the digital microscope M8 and find

themselves in optimal physical and mental conditions, may use the digital microscope M8.

Each user must be taught allfunctional routines relevant to their work as well as all relevant safety

provisions.

1.3 Information about used Pictograms

The following symbols are used in the operating instructions:

“General Warning”

Working and operating procedures which must be followed to avoid personal

and material damage.

“Warning: High Voltage”

Working and operating procedures which must be followed to avoid that persons

are injured or endangered by voltage-carrying elements.

“Warning: Risk of crushing”

Working and operating procedures which must be followed to avoid that persons

are injured or endangered by moving parts.

“Warning: Risk of inflammable substances”

Working and operating procedures which must be followed to avoid that persons

are injured or endangered by inflammable substances.

1.4 Intended Use

The Software “TouchMicroscope” is designed to operate the Digital Microscope M8. It is intended

to investigate and digitize samples, mainly histological samples and sections, on glass slides.

Scope of application:

- Research

- Teaching

- Life Science

- Industry

1Indications for Usage of Microscope

The digital microscope is not intended for applications that require a medical

certification! Not for use in diagnostic procedures!

Although this device is tested for compliance with the electromagnetic radiation emission limit

(EMC), there remains a risk of affecting other devices.

This device must not be placed in a room with life support devices!

Specification of intended microscope slides:

Two types of slides with the following dimensions can be used on the x-y-stage.

Length

75.5mm ± 0.5mm

Width

25.5mm ± 0.5mm

Thickness

1mm ± 0.05 mm

Length

75.5mm ± 0.5mm

Width

51 mm ± 1mm

Thickness

1mm ± 0.05 mm

It is considered as improper use, if slides or objects with dimensions other than

shown in above specification list are used with the microscope. The microscope,

the objective and the slide may be damaged.

The device is constructed according to state of the art and accepted safety-relevant regulations.

Improper use of this device can result in danger for life and health, for this device and connected

devices. Any other use or extended use is considered as improper use. The manufacturer and

supplier shall not be liable for any resulting damage.

The intended use includes following the instructions in this manual.

3 Transport, Storage and Disposal

In this chapter you will find information about the correct storage and disposal of this device.

Please read these instructions carefully and observe the notes contained therein.

3.1 Transport

Always carry the microscope using two hands. Grab the microscope below the

girder holding the microscope head. Improper carrying of the microscope can

cause dropping of the device damaging the microscope and the slides.

Figure 2: Illustration of correct grabbing position for safe transportation of the microscope.

While lifting the microscope, be careful not to lift the side parts of the microscope

as they are fixed magnetically. Moving of the side parts of the microscope can

cause a dropping of the device so that damage to the microscope and the slides

can occur. Additionally, shifted side parts can cause scratches to the microscope

head and thus causing damage to it.

When moving the microscope, never grab the x-y-stage. You may damage it.

3.2 Intermediate and Permanent Storage

This device is equipped with advanced mechanical and electronic components.

3Transport, Storage and Disposal

15.01.2016 Operating Manual M8 Page 10 of 27

To maintain the function of the device, observe following instructions for intermediate and

permanent storage:

The storage location must be dry and without precipitation.

The device must be protected against sunlight.

The device must be protected against fine sand and dust.

The device must be protected against aggressive substances such as abrasive solvents.

The floor must have sufficient load-bearing capacity and withstand the gross weight of

the device over a longer storage period.

The temperature range is limited from 10 °C to 40°C.

To avoid condensation of the packaging film, the maximum relative humidity is 75%.

Always cover the microscope with the protective dust cover (provided with the

instrument) when it is not in use. Therefore, ensure that the microscope is turned off.

The device should be placed in an environment with low incidence of extraneous light in

order to ensure high quality images with correct illumination.
