5. Unpacking the Microscope 5. Unpacking the Microscope First, carefully remove all components from the Installation Location transportation and packaging materials. Work with the microscope should be performed in a dust-free room, which is free of vapors (oil, chemicals etc.) and of extreme humidity. At the workplace, large temperature fluctuations, direct sunlight and vibrations should be avoided. Note: These conditions can distort measurements and If at all possible, avoid touching the lens s
