mation about physiological or pathological con-
ditions or inborn anomalies, or testing for safety
and compatibility for potential recipients, or for
monitoring therapeutic measures.
The microscopes that have the identifying let-
ters M or P are intended for materials science,
geological or mineralogical examinations.
The above-named microscopes comply with the
Council Directive 98/79/EEC concerning in vitro
diagnostics. They also conform to the Council
