• The white LEDs which illuminate the microscope target field are very
bright. Do not stare directly into these LEDs as it may damage your
eyes.
• The clear plastic distance shell sometimes picks up dirt or toxic material
from a microscopically observed surface. Be careful that this doesn’t get
in contact with the human skin. Always wash carefully or disinfect as
needed.
