Instructions on use
Intended use
The Leica DM500 and DM500 B microscopes are
optical instrument which use magnification and
illumination to improve the visibility of objects.
It is used for observing and documenting.
The Leica DM500 and DM500 B microscopes
may be used only in closed rooms and must be
placed on a solid floor.
The Leica DM500 or DM500 B microscopes can
be used in clean rooms without any problems.
•Position the Leica DM500 or
DM500 B microscope so that it can be
disconnected from the power supply at any
time. The power cord must remain accessible at
all times, because the power supply is foreseen
as mains disconnecting device.
Place of use
Only use the instruments in closed, dust free
rooms and between +10 °C and +40 °C. Protect
the devices from oil, chemicals and extreme
humidity. If using the devices outdoors, protect
them from dust and moisture. Never use electri-
cal devices outdoors. Install electrical devices at
least 10 cm from the wall and away from flam-
mable substances.
Avoid large temperature fluctuations, direct
sunlight and vibrations. These conditions
can distort measurements and micrographic
images.
In warm and warm-damp climatic zones,
the individual components require
special care in order to prevent the build-up of
fungus.
Non-intended use
•Using the instrument in any way
contrary to the specifications in the user
manual can lead to bodily harm and damage to
objects. Doing so can impair the functions of
the protective measures provided.
Never install any other plug (NEMA
5-15P) or unscrew any mechanical
components unless expressly instructed to do
so in the instructions.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is
replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose
of used batteries according to the instructions.
The devices and accessories described in
this operating manual have been tested
for safety and potential hazards.

Health risks and dangers of use
Health risks
Workplaces with microscopes facilitate
and improve the viewing task, but they
also impose high demands on the eyes and
holding muscles of the user. Depending on the
duration of uninterrupted work, asthenopia
and musculoskeletal problems may occur. For
this reason, appropriate measures for reduction
of the workload must be taken:
ϘOptimum workplace layout
ϘFrequent changes of activity
ϘThorough training of the personnel, giving
consideration to ergonomic and organiza-
tional aspects
The ergonomic design and construction of the
Leica microscopy series are intended to reduce
the exertion of the user to a minimum.
Danger of infection
•Direct contact with eyepieces is a
potential transmission method for viral
infections of the eye.
The risk can be kept to a minimum by
using personal eyepieces for each indi-
vidual or detachable eyecups.
Dangers during use
ϘThe Leica DM500 or DM500 B microscope
may only be connected to a grounded
socket.
ϘThe Leica DM500 or DM500 B microscope
may not be operated unless it is in proper
functioning condition.
