S Series User Manual 

Leica S Series 15

On We Go

If your new stereo microscope has already 
been assembled and commissioned by your 
Leica consultant, click here to skip through the 
installation instructions and go directly to the 
Quick Start Guide on page 26.

If, on the other hand, you are assembling the 
stereo microscope yourself, continue with the 
"Assembly" chapter, which begins on page 16.
