General Instructions
Safety Concept
Before using your Leica IC80 HD for the rst
time, please read the "Safety Concept" brochure
included with your instrument. It contains addi-
tional information on handling and care.
Use in clean rooms
The Leica IC80 HD can be used in clean rooms
without any problems.
Cleaning
ϘDo not use any unsuitable cleaning agents,

ded particles.
ϘIn most cases, we can provide special solu-
tions on request. Some products can be
modied, and we can oer other accesso-
ries for use in clean rooms.
Servicing
ϘRepairs may only be carried out by Leica
Microsystems-trained service technicians.
Only original Leica Microsystems spare
parts may be used.
Responsibilities of person in charge of
instrument
ϗEnsure that the Leica stereomicroscope
is operated, maintained and repaired by
authorized and trained personnel only.

Health risks
Workplaces equipped with stereomicroscopes
make it easier to examine extremely small
structures, but they also impose high demands
on the eyes and holding muscles of the user.
Depending on the duration of uninterrupted
work at such a workplace, impaired vision and
problems with the musculoskeletal system
may occur. Therefore, corresponding measures
should be taken to reduce the strain:
ϘOptimal arrangement of workplace, work
assignments and work ow (changing tasks
frequently).
ϘThorough training of the personnel, giving
consideration to ergonomic and organizati-
onal aspects.

Congratulations on purchasing the Leica IC80
HD Digital Camera Module by Leica Microsys-
tems. The special design of the Leica IC80 HD
makes it a universal, highly versatile tool for
viewing microscopic specimens and capturing
still images or even video.
Real Full HD display
The integrated HDMI output allows the micro-
scope image to be output to a High-Denition
(HD)-capable monitor, where the following
resolutions are possible:
Ϙ1920×1080i ("Full HD"). This resolution
provides the best possible imaging perfor-
mance on a Full HD-capable television.
Ϙ1280×720p ("HD ready"). This resolution is
suitable for display on televisions labeled
"HD ready".
Leica Application Suite
Along with your Leica IC80 HD, you also obtain
the "Leica Application Suite EZ" software (LAS
Core on request). It allows additional scenarios
to be implemented in which the television and
monitor can even be used together. Thus you
are ideally prepared for every situation: work at
the computer, presentations, training sessions,
trade show appearances, material testing and
more.
User-friendly even in the smallest detail
Like every digital camera, the Leica IC80 HD
reacts dierently to dierent light sources.
However, the white balance is factory set to
match the Leica LED illuminators. This means
that if you use a Leica LED illuminator, you auto-
matically obtain the best results!
Introduction

not show the same section that you see when
looking through the eyepieces.
Using the optional graticule
The optional graticule can be inserted into the
eyepiece and shows the section of the live or
captured image.
