2. Function

The entire system of which this User Manual is

part is intended for research applications. The

Leica microscope Mica is an inverted light mi-

croscope and intended for use as a general lab

microscope for routine examinations of biologi-

cal specimens.

Directives of the European Community (EU Di-

rectives)

The microscope described here fulfills the re-

quirements of EU Directives 2014/35/EU concern-

ing the safety of electrical equipment, 2014/30/EU

concerning electromagnetic compatibility and

the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

According to the VO1194/2012 regulation regard-

ing the implementation of the Ecodesign Direc-

tive 2009/125/EC, microscopes are considered

special products. The light sources in this instru-

ment are special lamps which are only suitable

for microscopes. They are not suitable for gener-

al lighting purposes or room lighting.

Reasonably Foreseeable Misuse

The following are prohibited:

• To use the system for any purpose

not in accordance with the Declara-

tion of Conformity (e.g. the use of IVD or

medical products in accordance with

EU regulation 2017/746 or 2017/45

)

• Operating the system in an inclined position

• Cleaning the system in a way other than speci-

fied in the manual

• Modifying the built-in safety circuits in the in-

strument

• Allowing unauthorized personnel to open the

instrument

• Using cables that Leica Microsystems CMS

GmbH has not provided or permitted

• Using combinations with non-Leica compo-

nents that go beyond the scope of the manual

2. Function

Caution!

The manufacturer assumes no liability for

damage caused by, or any risks arising from,

using the microscope for other purposes than

those for which they are intended or not us-

ing them within the speciﬁcations of Leica

Microsystems CMS GmbH.

In such cases, the Declaration of Conformity

shall be invalid.

WARNING

Notes on Handling Laser Devices

In the standard design without additional la-

ser safety precautions, the microscopes are

not suitable for coupling laser radiation (such

as to the camera ports), since this radiation

poses a hazard for the user (eye injury in par-

ticular).

For use of the microscope with lasers, Leica

Microsystems CMS GmbH offers special mi-

croscope variants with additional safety fea-

tures. Laser couplings require corresponding

safety devices that have to be inspected and

installed by trained personnel.

For further information, please contact your

authorized Leica Microsystems CMS GmbH

representative.

WARNING

Due to the special sources of danger of the

laser system, only those persons may use the

system who have received special training in

working with the system, observing the spe-

ciﬁc hazards of a laser system.

CAUTION

Light sources pose a potential irradiation risk

(glare, UV radiation, IR radiation). Therefore,

lamps may only be operated in closed hous-

ing and in an installed condition.

Never look directly into the beam path

(blinding hazard).

2. Function

CAUTION

If the hood to the specimen area is open

and the UV LED (365nm) is switched on with

maximum conﬁgured intensity, a distance

between the eye and light outlet interface on

the objective of <10cm may result in a hazard

to the eye.

No hazard for the eye exists in the normal use

case (distance between eye and objective

>10cm).

When changing specimens with the UV LED

(365nm) switched on at maximum intensity,

be sure not to exceed a maximum exposure

time of the skin (hands) of 60 minutes a day.

(actinic UV hazard)

We recommend dimming/deactivating all

LEDs before opening.
