§
Where possible, the original packaging must be used for shipping or transport.
Maximum shock
resistance
§
Do not drop or bump the boxes during movement or storage. Any acceleration shall be
< 10 g.
§
Evaluate packaging shock and tilting sensors on delivery and after internal transport.
Allowable
temperature
Allowable temperature during transport in packaging:
§
Between -40 °C and +70 °C
§
Relative humidity (without condensation) less than 75 % at 35 °C
Allowable temperature during storage:
§
B10 °C and +40 °C
§
Relative humidity (without condensation) less than 75 % at 35 °C

and to ensure effective stability of the microscope during installation and testing.
