Place of use
The Leica DM100 microscope may be used only
in closed rooms and must be placed on a solid
surface.
The Leica DM100 can be used at +10 °C to
+40°C. Protect the microscope from oil, chemi-
cals and extreme humidity. If it is used outdoors,
the microscope must be protected from dust

outdoors and place them at least 10 cm away
from the wall and from flammable substances.
