2 Safety
This chapter contains general requirements for safe working practices. Any person using the Mi-
croscope or commissioned with installation or maintenance must read and observe these general
safety instructions. Knowledge on basic safety instructions and requirements is a precondition for
safe and fault-free operation. Operational safety of the supplied Microscope is only ensured if it is
operated according to its intended use.
If any work is associated with residual risks, this is mentioned in the relevant parts of this docu-
ment in a specific note. When components must be handled with special caution, they are
marked with a warning label. These warnings must always be observed.

and tissue cultures. Typical applications are examinations of blood and tissue samples taken from
the human body or of plant and animal origin.
The microscope, including its original accessories, must not be used for microscopic techniques
other than those described in this Instruction Manual. The manufacturer does not assume any lia-
bility for other applications, including those of individual modules or components.
