5. Unpacking the Microscope
Please carefully compare the contents of the
delivery to the packing slip, delivery note, or in-
voice. We urgently recommend storing a copy of
these documents with the manual to ensure that
you have information on the time and scope of
delivery handy for subsequent orders or service
work.
Please make sure that no small parts remain in the
packing material. Parts of our packing material are
marked by symbols to simplify recycling.
First, carefully remove all components from
the transportation and packaging materials.
Caution!
Do not put the instrument into operation in
the event of visible damage to the compo-
nents or packing material.
Note:
If at all possible, avoid touching the lens surfac-
es of the objectives. If fingerprints do appear on
the glass surfaces, remove them with a soft
leather or linen cloth. Even small traces of finger
perspiration can damage the surfaces in a short
time. See the chapter "Care of the Microscope"

p. 95, for additional instructions.
Caution!
Do not connect the microscope or periph-
erals to an AC power source at this time
under any circumstances!
Installation Location
Work with the microscope should be performed
in a dust-free room, which is free of oil vapors
and other chemical vapors, as well as extreme
humidity. At the workplace, large temperature
fluctuations, direct sunlight, and vibrations
should be avoided. These may adversely affect
measurements and long-term observations.
Allowable ambient conditions

Microscopes in warm and warm-damp climatic
zones require special care in order to prevent
the build up of fungus.
