The customer has the choice to either set up or mount the Axio Scope.A1 himself before putting it into
operation, or have the Zeiss Customer Service do so for a fee.
Please read the Safety Guidelines carefully before assembling and operating the microscope.
The assembly activities described in the following chapters are mainly based on the assembly of a
microscope stand with an upper stand part and a lower stand part. The same activities apply when
assembling a microscope stand with an upper stand part and the stand column Vario – special activities
for the stand column Vario are described separately.

Microscope Stand
• Unpack all the components and check for
completeness according to bill of loading.
• Set up the microscope stand (

vibration-free, plane, stable and non-flammable
surface.
• We advise to keep the original packaging in
case you want to store the instrument over a
longer period of time or need to send it back to
the manufacturer. If you want to dispose of the
packaging, please do so in an appropriate
manner.
