please read the "Safety concept" brochure
included with your instrument. It contains addi-
tional information about handling and care.

Cleaning

tions on request. Some products can be
modified, and we can offer other accesso-
ries for use in clean rooms.

Microsystems-trained service technicians.
Only original Leica Microsystems spare
parts may be used.
