Thank you for your confidence in our product. We wish you much
enjoyment and success with your new EZ5 stereomicroscope from
Leica Microsystems.
The new Leica EZ5 is an exciting addition to the extensive product
range offered by our Swiss Stereomicroscopy business unit. The
Leica EZ5 has been designed specifically with a view to OEM appli-
cations. In order to safeguard against ESD, the entire stereomicro-
scope – including the optional cold light source and the stand – has
been constructed with antistatic materials.
While developing the Leica EZ5, we took the greatest care to ensure
that its operation would be simple and self-explanatory. Even
so, please take a little time to read the accompanying operating
instructions. This is the best way to familiarize yourself with all the
features of your stereomicroscope and use it to its full advantage.
And if you have any questions, please contact your Leica repre-
sentative or Leica Microsystems (Switzerland) Ltd., Heerbrugg,
Switzerland. We are gladly at your service. CUSTOMER SERVICE is
a big thing with us – before and after the sale (see page 36).

Safety concept
General notes Read the operating instructions and safety notes before
commissioning.
Proper use The Leica EZ5 is a precision optical instrument designed to
facilitate visual examination of objects, object details or speci-
mens in the fields of technology and science by magnifying them.
The equipment is supported by a full range of stands, illumination
systems and accessories.
Non-intended use • Using the instrument in any way other than that described in
these instructions may result in personal injury or damage to
property.
• The Leica EZ5 must not be used in examinations of or opera-
tions on the eye.
• Optical systems and mechanical parts must never be
unscrewed from each other unless expressly indicated
in the instructions.
Place of use • The Leica EZ5 is primarily intended for use in enclosed
premises.
• If it is used outdoors, the Leica EZ5 must be protected from
dust and moisture. Electrically powered illumination systems
and stands produced by Leica Microsystems must not be used
outdoors.
Integration in a
third-party product
When installing Leica products into third-party products, note the
following: The manufacturer of the complete system or its dealer
is responsible for following all applicable safety instructions, laws
and guidelines.

Use in clean
rooms
The Leica EZ5 is suitable for use in clean rooms and can be pre-
pared for such use as described on page 27. Please observe the
following rules:
• Never use any procedure other than the one described in these
operating instructions to clean the Leica EZ5 and its acces-
sories. Do not use unsuitable cleaning agents, chemicals or
equipment. Never use chemicals to clean colored surfaces and
accessories with rubberized parts. This may damage surfaces
and abraded particles may contaminate preparations.
• If a user uses chemicals to clean any Leica instrument without
our written approval, he does so at his own risk.
• We will be glad to offer special solutions upon request that
are sufficient for most circumstances. Some products can be
modified, or we can offer different accessories for use in clean
rooms.
Servicing Only Leica Microsystems-trained service technicians are permit-
ted to carry out repairs. Only original Leica Microsystems spare
parts may be used.
Responsibilities of
the person(s)
in charge of
instrument
• Ensure that all staff who are responsible for operating the
equipment have read and understood these instructions,
particularly the safety notes.
• Ensure that the Leica EZ5 is operated, maintained and repaired
only by authorized and trained staff.

Workplaces equipped with stereomicroscopes facilitate and
improve the viewing task, but they also impose high demands on
the eyes and holding muscles of the user. Long periods of uninter-
rupted activity may cause asthenopic complaints and injury to
the musculoskeletal system. Appropriate measures should be
adopted to reduce physical stress:
• optimal arrangement of workplace, work assignments and
work flow (changing tasks frequently).
• thorough training of the personnel, giving consideration to
ergonomic and organization aspects.
The ergonomic optics concept and the design of the Leica EZ5
aim to limit the strain on the user to the lowest possible level.
Direct contact with eyepieces is a potential transmission method
for bacterial and viral infections of the eye. Users should be made
aware of the potential risk of infection. This risk can be minimized
by using personal eyepieces or removable eyecups (see page 19).
Eyecups can be purchased separately. For more information,
contact your Leica partner.

Greenough based
optical system
The optical system of the Leica EZ5 consists of two beam paths
converging at 10°. The lens pairs of each optical path are posi-
tioned close together, so the stereomicroscope can be of very
"slender" design, especially towards the base of the instrument.
The advantages of this design are that it has a small space
requirement for use on bonders and in machine applications,
unobstructed access to specimens, plenty of space for tools and
a completely clear view of the object field.
The Greenough system enables cost-effective correction of aber-
rations such as chromasia, image field curvature, and distortion
with minimal effort. The new Leica EZ5 uses the most corrected
area of each lens for image production. This provides superior
optical performance with large, level and undistorted fields of
view and chromatically optimized, high-contrast images.
ESD protection The Leica EZ5 together with its cold light source and stand is
made from highly conductive materials with area resistivity of
2×1011 Ohm/square. Charges are cut from 1000V to 100V in less
than 2 seconds.
