Leica M Stereomicroscopes User Manual

Read the user manual and safety instructions before starting up.

The Leica MS5, MZ6, MZ75, MZ95, MZ125, MZ16 and MZ16 A stereomicro-

scopes are optical instruments which use magnification for improved

visualization of objects, their details and specimens from technology and

natural sciences. The basic outfit, which includes a stand and a light

source, can be supplemented with various modules for photography, TV,

dual station viewing and other applications.

• The use of the instrument in a different manner from that described in

this user manual can lead to injury, malfunction and damage.

• The Leica MS5, MZ6, MZ75, MZ95, MZ125, MZ16 and MZ16 A stereo-

microscopes must not be used for eye examinations and operations.

• Do not fit different plugs. Do not dismantle optical systems or mechani-

cal parts unless instructions for doing so are given in the user manual.

• The Leica MS5, MZ6, MZ75, MZ95, MZ125, MZ16 and MZ16 A stereo-

microscopes are intended mainly for indoor use.

• If the stereomicroscope is used outdoors, protect it from dirt and mois-

ture. Lamps and electrically-operated stands from Leica may not be

used outdoors.

The optics carriers MS5, MZ6, MZ75, MZ95, MZ125, MZ16 and MZ16 A, the

binocular tube, ErgoTube™, ErgoWedge™ 5°–25°, the swinging-arm

stand ESD and the cold light sources Leica L2 and CLS consist of ESD-

discharging material (surface resistance <1011 ohms/squared, discharge

time <2 seconds, 1,000 V to 100 V).

– A connection socket for a ∅4 mm grounding cable is provided on the

microscope carrier.

– There are two connection sockets for ∅4 mm grounding cables in the

base of the swinging-arm stand.

The Leica M series can be used in clean rooms without any problems and

they can be cleaned as described on page 60. Please observe the

following rules:

– Do not clean our stereomicroscopes and accessories in a different

manner from that described in this user manual. Do not use unsuitable

cleaning agents, chemicals and techniques. Do not clean painted

surfaces and accessories with rubber parts such as the ErgoTube®

10° – 50° with chemicals.

This can damage the surfaces. Particles or grindings can contaminate

the specimen.

– If the customer cleans our instruments with chemicals without our

written approval he will do it at his own risk.

– In most cases we can offer special solutions on request. Some

products can be modified or we could recommend other accessories

for use in clean rooms.

Safety concept

Leica M Stereomicroscopes – Safety regulations

Repairs may only be carried out by Leica-trained service tech-

nicians.

Only original Leica spare parts may be used.

• Ensure that personnel who use the instrument have read and

understood this user manual and in particular the safety

instructions.

• Ensure that the Leica MS5, MZ6, MZ75, MZ95, MZ125, MZ16

and MZ16 A stereomicroscopes are operated, maintained

and repaired only by

authorized and trained personnel.

Workplaces with stereomicroscopes facilitate and improve

the viewing task, but they also impose high demands on the

eyes and holding muscles of the user. Dependent upon the

duration of uninterrupted activity, this may lead to asthenic

trouble and muscular-skeletal pain so that suitable measures

must be taken to reduce the strain:

– perfect design of workplace (see p.14), work content and

work process (frequently changing activities).

– detailed introduction of the personnel while considering

ergonomic and organizational work-related aspects.

The ergonomic optics concept and the design of the Leica M

series aim at limiting the strain on the user to the lowest possi-

ble level.

Direct contact with eyepieces can be a potential transmission

path for bacterial and viral infections of the eye. Users should

be made aware of the potential risk of infection. The risk can be

kept at a minimum by using individual eyepieces or attachable

eyecups (see p.16).

Electrically-operated items

The safety regulations listed below apply to the following items:

– Transmitted-light stand, bright field, 20 W (page 24)

– Supply (line) lamp 25 W (page 47)

– Regulating transformer 0–7 V/40 W (page 38)

– Step transformer 4/5/6 V (page 39)

– Motor focus (separate instructions)

– Motorized Leica MZ16 A

Be careful when handling liquids.

If spilt on the equipment, they can:

– cause the stereomicroscopes and accessories to become

electrically live, endangering personnel,

– cause damage to the equipment.

Inspect cables regularly for damage. Defective cables can:

– directly endanger personnel,

– cause the stereomicroscopes and accessories to become

electrically live, endangering personnel.

Route cables with care. Make sure that personnel do not get

entangled with them. The instrument could fall over, fall down,

become damaged, damage other equipment, or cause personal

injury.

Only authorized Leica personnel are permitted to repair electri-

cal equipment. Before opening up the equipment, pull out the

power cable. If you touch the live interior of the equipment, you

may receive an electric shock.

Ensure that the voltage setting on the equipment is correct.

A wrong setting can cause damage to the equipment.

When connecting power-consuming devices to the transform-

ers, do not exceed the maximum permitted loading, as this can

cause damage to the equipment.

• Before changing a bulb, disconnect the power cable.

• Never attempt to touch the inside of a lamp housing or

transmitted-light stand while the instrument is connected

to the power supply.

• Before changing a bulb, wait until it is cool, otherwise you

may burn your fingers.

The following must be observed if Leica products are build into

third-party products:

The manufacturer of the complete system or the person putting

it on the market is responsible for adhering to applicable safety

regulations, laws and guidelines.

Adhere to general and local regulations relating to accident

prevention and environmental protection.

The products described here must be disposed off in accor-

dance with applicable local laws and regulations.

The electrically-operated accessories for the Leica MS5, MZ6,

MZ75, MZ95, MZ125, MZ16 and MZ16 A stereomicroscopes are

constructed in accordance with the latest technologies and

provided with a statement of conformity with EC requirements.
