Dear Customer  
Thank you for the trust you have shown in choosing one  
of our products. We hope you will have much enjoyment  
and success with your new stereomicroscope from Leica  
Microsystems.  
®
With its new StereoZoom line the Swiss Stereomicro-  
scopy Business Unit offers a comprehensive range of  
stereomicroscopes for every application. The Leica L2  
cold-light illuminator – also new – transforms any of the  
instruments into a compact, streamlined complete outfit  
of modern design. Possible applications range from in-  
spection and assembly work, OEM and schools to quality  
assurance functions. The stereomicroscopes, cold-light  
source and stand are all antistatic to protect against  
ESD. A Terminator version is available for problematic  
working areas in electronics.  
One of our major development goals was to make our  
®
new StereoZoom line simple and intuitive to use. Never-  
theless, please take the time to read these instructions.  
They will familiarize you with your stereomicroscope’s  
advantages and enable you to use it to best effect. If you  
have questions at any time, please contact your Leica

Safety regulations  
Workplaces with stereomicroscopes facilitate and improve the  
viewing task, but they also impose high demands on the eyes  
and holding muscles of the user. Dependent upon the duration  
of uninterrupted activity, this may lead to asthenic trouble and  
muscular-skeletal pain so that suitable measures must be taken  
to reduce the strain:  
– perfect design of workplace, work content and work process  
(frequently changing activities).  
– detailed introduction of the personnel while considering  
ergonomic and organizational work-related aspects.  
The ergonomic optics concept and the design of the  
Leica S series aim at limiting the strain on the user to the  
lowest possible level.  
Direct contact with eyepieces can be a potential transmission  
path for bacterial and viral infections of the eye. Users should  
be made aware of the potential risk of infection. The risk can be  
kept at a minimum by using individual eyepieces or attachable  
eyecups (see p. 17).  
Electrically operated equipment  
Liquids Handle liquids carefully.  
Liquids spilt on the instrument  
can cause the stereomicroscope and other equipment to  
become electrically live and injure persons,  
can cause damage to the instrument.  
Mains cable  
Cable routing  
Check regularly to ensure that the mains cable is  
undamaged and avoid jerking or pulling the cable hard.  
Faulty mains cables  
can injure persons,  
can cause the stereomicroscope and other equipment to  
become electrically live and injure persons.  
Ensure the cable is not in a position where someone could  
accidentally catch it, otherwise the instrument could tip  
over and fall, damaging itself or other equipment, or injuring  
people nearby.  
Opening the Electrical equipment may only be repaired by authorized  
Leica personnel.  
instrument  
Disconnect the mains cable before opening the instrument.  
Touching the open instrument when voltage is  
applied may result in injury.

voltage. Incorrect setting can damage the instrument.  
Connections Only devices with the correct power rating may be  
connected to the transformers. Overloading can result  
in damage to the instrument.  
Changing lamps  
Disconnect the mains cable from the mains supply before  
changing lamps.  
Never put your hand in the lamp housing or transmitted-  
light stand when the instrument is connected to the mains.  
Wait for filament lamps to cool down before  
changing. Touching hot filament lamps can result  
in burns.  
Statutory regulations Observe all statutory accident prevention and environmental  
protection requirements.

Description  
®
Greenough The optical system of the Leica StereoZoom line con-  
optical system sists of two beam paths converging at 12°. Since the  
pairs of objectives are very close together, the stereo-  
microscopes can be constructed very “slim” towards  
the base. This has a number of advantages: less space  
required for use on bonders and machines, unimpeded  
working on the object, plenty of room for tools, free view  
of the object field.  
The Greenough system provides a low-cost solution for  
correcting aberrations such as chromatism, curvature of  
the field of view and distortion. On the new Leica Stereo-  
®
Zoom line the optimally corrected centre of the objec-  
tive is used for the image. This results in excellent  
optical performance with large, flat, distortion-free fields  
of vision and high-contrast images with maximum  
chromatic correction.  
Protection The Leica S4 E, S6 E, S6, S6 D and S8 APO stereomicro-  
against ESD scopes including cold-light source and stand are made of  
11  
antistatic material with a surface resistance of 2×10  
ohm/square and a discharge time from 1000V to 100V of  
under 2 seconds.  
The Leica S6 T Terminator for problematical work areas  
and the T incident-light stand are made of antistatic ma-  
2
6
terial with a surface resistance of 10 –10 ohm/square  
and a discharge time from 1000V to zero of under  
0.1 seconds.  
®
Photography The Leica StereoZoom S6 D and S8 APO models are  
equipped with a built-in video/photo tube that allows for  
simple, quick setting up of digital, film and analog video  
cameras.

®
World first Leica StereoZoom S8 APO is the first stereomicroscope  
on the market with completely apochromatic corrected  
Greenough system. Apochromatic optics corrects per-  
fectly chromatic aberrations, eliminates interfering color  
fringes and renders even the finest details ultra sharp.  
Contrast, brilliance, sharpness, resolution, color fidelity  
and reproduction accuracy are unsurpassed. The advan-  
tage of apochromatic correction is best observed in  
objects that have fine, low-contrast structures such as  
large animal cells, cilia plants or metallic microelectronic  
structures.

Diopter adjustment If you adjust the diopters at the adjustable eyepiece as  
and setting described below, the focus will remain constant, or par-  
parfocality focal, from minimum to maximum magnification. In other  
words, you will not have to refocus when you change  
magnification, but only when you want to examine a  
higher- or lower-positioned object segment. Make full  
use of this feature, which is not available on every stereo  
microscope.  
Diopter adjustment is possible within a range  
from +5 to –5.  
Every user has to make the following adjustments  
only once.  
If you are using a graticule, the diopter adjustment and  
parfocality setting procedure is slightly different to that  
described here. Please refer to the section on measure-  
ment in the graticule user manuals.
