The Leica M Series for Fluorescence 18

On We Go

If your new Leica microscope has already been
assembled and commissioned by your Leica
consultant, click here to skip through the instal-
lation instructions and go directly to the Quick
Start Guide on page 64.

If, on the other hand, you are assembling
the microscope yourself, continue with the
"Assembly" chapter, which begins on page 19.

For everything you need to know about the
correct use of fluorescence-related parts, refer to
