Care, Maintenance, Contact Persons
General
We hope you enjoy using your high-perfor-
mance camera. Leica microscope cameras are
renowned for their robustness and long service
life. Observing the following care and clean-
ing tips will ensure that even after years and
decades, your Leica camera will continue to
work as well as it did on the very first day.
Warranty benefits
The guarantee covers all faults in materials
and manufacture. It does not, however, cover
damage resulting from careless or improper
handling.
Care
Keeping all optical components clean is impor-
tant for maintaining good optical performance.
Cleaning
O
Do not use any unsuitable cleaning agents,
chemicals or techniques for cleaning.
O
Never use chemicals to clean colored
surfaces or accessories with rubberized
parts. This could damage the surfaces,
and specimens could be contaminated by
abraded particles.
O
Optical surfaces should be cleaned using
a lint-free cloth, lens cloth or cotton swab
moistened with a commercially available
glass cleaner. Do not use alcohol.
O
If any optical surface becomes badly coated
with dust or dirt brush it off with a camel
hair brush before attempting to wipe it
clean.
Cleaning polymer components
Some components are made of polymer or are
polymer-coated. They are, therefore, pleasant
and convenient to handle. The use of unsuit-
able cleaning agents and techniques can
damage polymers.
