4 Description Fluorescence technique Some substances fluoresce when irradiated with short-wave light. This property is utilized in the fluorescence technique, in which certain structures and features which do not fluo- rescence can be tagged with a fluorescing dye.
5 Servicing and repairs – Repairs may only be carried out by Leica-trained service technicians or by technical personnel authorized to do so by the person in charge of the instrument – Only original Leica spare parts may be used – Unplug the power cable before opening the supply unit.

11 Leica MZ10 F Focusing drive ➜ base of stand ▶ Connect manually-operated or motor -driven focusing drive, complete with column, to base, as described in user manual M2-105-0EN. Before using the motor focus, you must read the safety directions in the accompanying user manual M2-267- 104.
12 Assembly Lamp housing The Leica 106Z lamp housing is equipped. For information about the supply units for the 106Z lamp housing, see page 14. Model 105Z lamp housings, if available, can also be used.
13 ▶ Using the focusing knob, displace the collector: • Duringthis movement, the collector must not touch the flexible power cable. If necessary , bend the cable away ▶ Carefully .
14 Assembly Supply unit for lamp housing 106Z with 50W mercury-vapour burner 1. On/off switch 2. Running-time meter 3. Selector for L1/L2 burners 4. Fuse 5. Selectorfor 50Hz/60Hz 6. Connector for lamp 7. Power cable The supply unit is intended for power supplies above 220V .
15 3 1 2 4 5 6 Hg50W Hg 100W Adjusting the mercury vapour lamp This adjustment is important for obtaining a uniform light spot and good-quality fluorescence.
Dummy filter carrier In the dummy filter carrier there are two openings for the observation beam paths instead of the barrier filters. The third path has been closed. Use the dummy filter carrier: – if you are using less than four sets of filters – if you are working without the fluorescence illuminator for periods of up to 15 seconds.
17 Use MZ10 F: Bringing the specimen into focus and observing it Observe the safety directions on page 4 and the recom- mendations on page 5 regarding the use of the mercu- ry-vapour lamp. Changing filters In the rapid filter changer , all four positions must be occupied, either with filter sets or with dummy filter carriers (see page 16).

21 Important: With the illuminator on, insert the filterhol- der with diaphragm into slide-in unit 3 to avoid being suddenly exposed to excessively bright light (page 22). ▶ Remove the binocular tube. ▶ Loosen the 3 socket-head screws. ▶ Remove the cover .
22 Assembly Stereo-fluorescence module UV-light excluder ➜ side-faced column Always position the UV-light excluder so that the user never looks directly at the light spot (page 5). ▶ Using the clamping screw , secure the clamp on the side- faced column, beneath the focusing drive.
23 Use Stereo-fluorescence module Focusing and observing Observe the safety regulations on page 4 and note the recommendations on page 5 for using the mercury- vapour burner .

An important point after buying a device Leica 106Z (or even before the purchase) is to read its user manual. We should do this for several simple reasons:
If you have not bought Leica 106Z yet, this is a good time to familiarize yourself with the basic data on the product. First of all view first pages of the manual, you can find above. You should find there the most important technical data Leica 106Z - thus you can check whether the hardware meets your expectations. When delving into next pages of the user manual, Leica 106Z you will learn all the available features of the product, as well as information on its operation. The information that you get Leica 106Z will certainly help you make a decision on the purchase.
If you already are a holder of Leica 106Z, but have not read the manual yet, you should do it for the reasons described above. You will learn then if you properly used the available features, and whether you have not made any mistakes, which can shorten the lifetime Leica 106Z.
However, one of the most important roles played by the user manual is to help in solving problems with Leica 106Z. Almost always you will find there Troubleshooting, which are the most frequently occurring failures and malfunctions of the device Leica 106Z along with tips on how to solve them. Even if you fail to solve the problem, the manual will show you a further procedure – contact to the customer service center or the nearest service center
