Hazardous sample
This microscope is mainly for use in microscopic observation and micromanipulation of living cells and
tissue cultures in Petri dishes, microtiter plates, etc.
When handling a sample, check to determine whether the sample is hazardous. Handle hazardous
samples according to the standard procedure of your laboratory. If the sample is of an infectious
nature, wear rubber gloves to avoid infection, and be careful not to spill the sample. In the event of
spillage of a sample from a vessel onto the microscope, decontaminate the contaminated portion
according to the standard procedure of your laboratory.
1.
Check the combination of the lamp, dia-illuminator and power supply.
The dia-illuminator and the power supply must be used in correct combination against the ratings of the
lamp and the regional voltage supply. See page 38 to find out the correct combination of these items.
Using the equipment in wrong combination will lead to fire, electric shocks or malfunction of the
equipment.
2.
Turn off the power during assembly, connection/disconnection of the cords, and lamp
replacement.
To prevent electric shocks and/or malfunction, always turn off the power switch of the power supply and
the T-HUBC HUB controller (flip it to the
assembly, connecting or disconnecting of the cords, and the lamp replacement.
3.
Cautions on lamp replacement.
To avoid burns, wait at least 30 minutes after the lamp is turned off so that the lamp can cool sufficiently.
To avoid electric shocks and malfunction, always turn off the power switch (flip it to the
the power cord from the wall outlet before lamp replacement.
Securely attach the lamphouse cover to the lamphouse after replacing the lamp. Never light the lamp
while the lamphouse cover is open. Do not break used lamps; instead dispose of them as special
industrial waste or according to the laws applicable to your municipal waste system.
4.
Do not wet the microscope.
If the instrument gets wet, a short circuit may result that may cause malfunction or abnormal heating. If
you accidentally spill a liquid on the instrument, immediately turn off the power switch (flip to the
and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Then use a dry cloth to wipe away the moisture. If any
liquid gets inside the instrument, do not use it; instead, notify your nearest Nikon representative.
5.
Weak electromagnetic waves.
This microscope emits weak electromagnetic waves. The accuracy of any precision electronic equipment
may be adversely affected if positioned too close. If the microscope affects TV or radio reception, move
the radio or TV further away from the microscope.
6.
Cautions on assembling and installing the microscope.
• Be careful not to pinch your fingers or hands during the assembly.
• The scratches and dirt such as fingerprints on the optical parts (such as lens and filters) will adversely
affect the microscope image. Be careful not to scratch or directly touch the lens and filters.
• This product is a precision optical instrument. Using or storing it under unsuitable conditions may
damage it or may have an adverse effect on its accuracy. See the installation conditions on page 4 and
use the product in an adequate environment.
7.
Cautions on moving the microscope.
When moving the microscope, do not hold it by the focusing knobs, eyepiece tube, stage, dia-illuminator
etc., since these parts can be damaged, or they could come off. Hold the microscope by the bottom front
and bottom rear.
8.
Be careful of the protruding rack of the T-SR rectangular stage.
The rack of the T-SR rectangular stage will protrude by the stage movement. Be careful not to strike your
hands against the rack when reaching the focusing knobs or revolving nosepiece. You may get yourself
hurt by the edge of the rack.
