Health risks
Workplaces equipped 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:
OOptimal arrangement of workplace, work
assignments and work flow (changing tasks
frequently).
OThorough training of the personnel, giving
consideration to ergonomic and organiza-
tional aspects.

Care, Maintenance, Contact Persons
General
We hope you enjoy using your high-perfor-
mance camera. Leica microscope cameras are
renowned for their robustness and long service
life. Observing the following care and clean-
ing tips will ensure that even after years and
decades, your Leica camera will continue to
work as well as it did on the very first day.
Warranty benefits
The guarantee covers all faults in materials
and manufacture. It does not, however, cover
damage resulting from careless or improper
handling.
Care
Keeping all optical components clean is impor-
tant for maintaining good optical performance.
Cleaning
ODo not use any unsuitable cleaning agents,
chemicals or techniques for cleaning.
ONever use chemicals to clean colored
surfaces or accessories with rubberized
parts. This could damage the surfaces,
and specimens could be contaminated by
abraded particles.
OOptical surfaces should be cleaned using
a lint-free cloth, lens cloth or cotton swab
moistened with a commercially available
glass cleaner. Do not use alcohol.
OIf any optical surface becomes badly coated
with dust or dirt brush it off with a camel
hair brush before attempting to wipe it
clean.
Cleaning polymer components
Some components are made of polymer or are
polymer-coated. They are, therefore, pleasant
and convenient to handle. The use of unsuit-
able cleaning agents and techniques can
damage polymers.

Care, Maintenance, Contact Persons (Continued)
Protection from dirt
Dust and dirt will affect the quality of your
results.
Put the available dust cover over the micro-
scope camera when it will not be used for a
long time.
Protect your microscope camera from moisture,
fumes and acids and from alkaline, caustic and
corrosive materials and keep chemicals away
from the instruments.
Protect your microscope camera from oil and
grease.
Do not grease guide surfaces or mechanical
parts.
Repair, service work
See "Safety concept" booklet
Repairs may only be carried out by Leica Micro-
systems-trained service technicians.
Only original Leica Microsystems spare parts
may be used.
Before opening the instruments, switch off the
power and unplug the power cable.
Touching the live circuit can cause injury.
Plugs, optical systems and mechanical parts
must not be disassembled or replaced, unless
doing so is specifically permitted and described
in this manual.
Electrical considerations
Risk of electric shock. Removing the
covers of the Leica ICC50 W camera
exposes hazardous voltages, which if contacted,
could cause injury or death. Please contact an
authorized Leica Microsystems dealer for tech-
nical service.
Contact address
If your instrument no longer works
perfectly, contact your Leica representa-
tive. You can find information on worldwide
Leica representatives on the Leica website:
