Lamp housing
The Leica MZ16 FA fluorescence stereomicroscope and the
fluorescence module for Leica stereomicroscopes may only be
used in combination with the Leica lamp housing for 100W or
50W mercury burners, their corresponding supply units and
stray-light protection.
Leica Microsystems accepts no liability for damages
resulting from the use of lamp housings from other
manufacturers.
High-pressure mercury burner
• To minimize the risk of explosion, replace a discolored high-
pressure mercury burner promptly when it has reached the
end of its rated life. Follow the manufacturer’s specifications
and the minute meter on the supply unit!
• Allow the high-pressure mercury burner to cool off before
replacing it to prevent the possibility of severe burns:
Burn hazard
• Dispose of used mercury burners as hazardous waste.
• Follow the user manual and safety instructions provided by
the lamp manufacturer, and, in particular, the section on how
to proceed if a lamp breaks and releases mercury.
• Do not remove the mercury burner’s dust cover until after you
have installed the lamp. Be very careful to avoid getting
fingerprints on the lamp.
• After installing the mercury burner, adjust it exactly as
described. Never let the bright tips of the electric arcs, the
focal spots, cross when projected:
Hazard of explosion from overheating
• When transporting the equipment, remove the high-pressure
mercury burner, transport it in its original packaging and pro-
tect moving parts in the lamp housing using the transport an-
chors (which should be stored in a safe place for future use).
Leica Microsystems assumes no liability for incorrectly
installed or improperly used high-pressure mercury
burners.
