CAUTION
6 Cautions in assembling, installing, and carrying the microscope system
• Take care to avoid pinching your finger or hand during the microscope system assembly and
installation.
• Scratches or fouling such as fingerprints on optical components (lenses, filters, and so on) will
degrade microscope images. Be careful to avoid scratches or direct contact with the lenses and filters
when assembling the microscope system.
• To carry the microscope system, first detach all parts. And, tilt the microscope body while supporting
it, then securely hold it by the base.
• Never grasp the focus knobs, eyepiece tube, sliding nosepiece, nosepiece up/down part, stage,
substage, or condenser when carrying the microscope system. This may cause the part to come off,
resulting in damage to the microscope system.
•
Do not install the product in a locker or a cabinet.
7 Do not turn on the power supply and the power supply for the optical fiber light source when a
cover is placed over the product.
Do not turn on the power supply and the power supply for the optical fiber light source when a cover is
placed over the product. A cover on the product blocks the heat radiation and it may cause abnormal heat
or fire hazards.
8 Cautions about long and continuous observations
To relieve fatigue resulting from long observation sessions, limit continuous observations to one hour.
Take at least 10- to 15-minute breaks between observation sessions. And, take care of the layout of
devices to be used and adjust the height of your chair.
