Never use any fuses as replacements other  
than those of the types and the current rat-  
ings listed here. Using patched fuses or  
bridging the fuse holder is not permitted.  
Caution!  
The microscope’s electrical accessory com-  
ponents are not protected against water.  
Water can cause electric shock.  
Caution!  
Caution!  
The power plug may only be plugged into an  
outlet equipped with a grounding contact.  
Protect the microscope from excessive tem-  
perature fluctuations. Such fluctuations can  
lead to the accumulation of condensation,  
which can damage the electrical and optical  
components.  
Do not interfere with the grounding function  
by using an extension cord without a ground  
wire. Any interruption of the ground wire in-  
side or outside of the device, or release of  
the ground wire connection, can cause the  
device to become hazardous. Intentional  
ground interruption is not permitted!  
Ambient temperature: 15-35°C.  
Caution!  
Before exchanging the fuses or lamps, be  
absolutely certain to switch-off the main  
power switch and remove the power cable.  
Caution!  
Through connection to the grounding con-  
nection, ancillary equipment with its own  
and/or extra power supply may be brought to  
the same ground wire potential. For  
connections without a ground connector,  
Leica Service must be consulted.

5. Assembly  
5.1 Stage  
• From above, set the stage clamp onto the  
dovetail guide (4.2) and push the stage down-  
wards until the upper end of the dovetail guide  
is tightly fastened to the upper end of the  
stage clamp.  
Caution:  
!
Before assembling the stage, make sure no ob-  
jectives are installed!  
• Firmly tighten the stage clamp (4.1).  
• Place the specimen holder on the stage and  
fasten it with the two screws (3.1).  
• Using the condenser height adjuster (3.2), turn  
the condenser holder completely upwards, i.e.  
as close to the stage as possible.  
Note:  
For thicker specimens (Leica DM4000 M) the  
stage can be set to a correspondingly lower  
level.  
• Loosen the stage clamp (3.3) slightly.

5. Assembly  
• To open the 106 z lamp housing, unscrew the  
fastening screws on the cover.  
Caution:  
• Remove the transport anchorage (red plastic  
rod in place of the burner) in the lamp mount.  
To do so, remove the lower clamp (19.1). Pull  
up the cooling element (19.3) and turn it to the  
side. Detach the lower clamp system (19.2)  
and remove the transport anchorage.  
Hg 50 burner:  
After installation, the labeling must be upright.  
If a glass melt nipple is present (19a.4), posi-  
tion it by turning the burner so that the nipple  
does not come in the way of the beam path  
later, but instead is positioned sideways.  
• Install the burner in mirror image fashion.  
Xe 75 burner:  
Remove the burner’s dust cover (19b.5) after  
you have installed the burner.

6.1 Functional Principle  
The microscope’s most important functions may be easily accessed using function keys.  
• The microscope may be switched between various contrast processes by pressing a single button.  
• The microscope recognizes the objective chosen and the respective contrast process. There-  
fore, the values for intensity (INT), aperture diaphragm (AP) and field diaphragm (FD) are al-  
ways set correctly.  
• The values for INT, AP and FD can be changed individually. This overwrites the previous  
setting. Actual settings are stored automatically.  
• The specifications for INT, AP and FD always relate to the currently activated light axis (trans-  
mitted light or incident light).  
• In addition to the preset function keys for INT, AP and FD, there are also variable function keys.  
Variable function keys:  
• These function keys are assigned logical functions before delivery(see “Identification Sheet”)  
• These functions can be reprogrammed according to your individual wishes.  
Note: (Reset-Function)  
The microscope can be reset to the default functions programmed at the factory:  
• When the microscope is switched off, press all 3 variable function keys on the left stand  
section.  
• Switch on the stand.  
• Hold the keys pressed down until initialization is complete.  
• The standard information is shown in the display.  
• Switch off the instrument and switch it on again. The settings are stored now.  
6.2 Switching on the Microscope  
• First, swivel the objective with the least magnification into position.

• Switch-on the microscope at the power  
switch (34.1,36.1). All motorized microscope  
components first undergo an initialization  
phase.  
After turning on the gas discharge lamps, the  
burner must be immediately adjusted. There-  
fore, do not turn on the power supply unit  
yet. First, work in transmitted light in order to  
familiarize yourself with the microscope’s  
controls.  
After initialization is complete, the display on the  
stand shows the current microscope setting (Fig.  
37).  
6.3 The Display (Leica DM4000 B/DM4000 M)  
The microscopic components such as dia-  
phragms, condenser, light and phase rings are  
already pre-centered in the factory. However,  
re-centering may be necessary due to transpor-  
tation and assembly.  
Before proceeding with the necessary steps,  
first familiarize yourself with the stand’s display  
and control panel.

rectangular. Accordingly, the FD designation is  
set in parentheses or in brackets: (FD) or [FD].  
In the first row, you find an indication of the ac-  
tive light axis (transmitted light or incident light)  
of the current contrast method and the current  
filter cube.

Note:  
The display may flash after the initialization

10. Trouble Shooting  
Problem  
Cause/Remedy  
Polarization  
No polarization contrast is possible.  
Bring the polarizer and analyzer into cross po-  
sition until they reach maximum darkness  
(without specimen) (p. 55, 59).  
Fluorescence  
The image is completely dark (no fluorescence). Open the shutter (p. 57).  
Select the incident light axis (IL) (p. 36).  
Check the antigen-antibody combination.  
The fluorescence is too weak.  
Insert the Booster Lens (p. 29).  
Center the lamp (p. 41ff).  
Insert a new lamp (p. 20f).  
Display  
The display flashes.  
Rotate an appropriate objective for the con-  
trast method into the light path.  
FAIL! appears.  
Check insertion of objectives, cubes, etc.

Caution!  
Caution:  
Unplug the power supply before performing  
cleaning and maintenance work!  
Protect electrical components from moisture!  
Residual fiber and dust can create unwanted  
background fluorescence.

or alcohol.  
For cleaning coated parts, use a linen or leather  
cloth that is moistened with one of these sub-  
stances.  
11.1 Dust Cover  
Note:  
Caution:  
Acetone, xylene or nitro-containing thinner  
can harm the microscope and thus may not  
be used.  
!
To protect against dust, cover the microscope and  
accessories with the dust cover after each use.  
Test cleaning solutions of unknown composition  
first on a less visible area of the unit. Be sure  
that coated or plastic surfaces do not become  
matted or etched.  
Caution!  
Let lamps cool down before covering the  
stand with a dust cover. The dust cover is  
not heat-resistant. In addition condensation  
water may occur.  
Cleaning the Stage  
Remove light-colored spots on the stage by rub-  
bing with paraffin oil or acid-free Vaseline.

Removing Immersion Oil  
Cleaning Glass Surfaces  
Remove dust on glass surfaces with a fine, dry  
and fat-free hair brush, by blowing with a blow  
bag or vacuum suction.  
Caution!  
Follow safety instructions for immersion oil!  
Carefully remove stubborn dirt on glass surfaces  
with a clean cloth moistened with distilled  
water. If the dirt still can not be removed, use  
pure alcohol, chloroform or benzine.  
First, wipe off the immersion oil with a clean cot-  
ton cloth, and then re-wipe the surface several  
times with ethyl alcohol.  
11.3 Handling Acids and Bases  
Cleaning Objectives  
Caution!  
For examinations using acids or other aggres-  
sive chemicals, particular caution must be  
taken.  
The objective may not be unscrewed during  
cleaning. If damage appears on inner sur-  
faces, the objectives must be sent to your  
Leica subsidiary for repair. We also advise  
against cleaning the inside surfaces of the  
eyepieces.  
!
Caution:  
Be absolutely certain to prevent the optics  
and mechanical parts from coming these  
chemicals.  
The front lenses of objectives are cleaned as de-  
scribed under "Cleaning Glass Surfaces". The  
upper lens is cleaned by being blown off with a  
pneumatic pump.
