Danger of infection

Direct contact with eyepieces is a poten-
tial transmission method for bacterial
and viral infections of the eye. The risk can be
kept to a minimum by using personal eyepieces
for each individual or detachable eyecups.
Dangers during use
The microscope illumination is in the exempt
group (risk group 0) according to EN 62471:2008
when used according to its intended use.

Never look directly into the LED beam
of the illumination equipment – either
with or without optical instruments – as this
increases the risk class. Failure to observe this
notice poses a risk of eye damage.
