1. A microscope is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid
subjecting it to sudden or severe impact.
2. Do not use the microscope where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high
temperature and humidity, dust or vibrations. (For the operating condi-
tions, refer to section 5, "SPECIFICATIONS".)
3. When moving the microscope, carefully carry it with the grasping part on
the rear of the arm and the base as shown in Fig. 2 (Weight: approx. 16
kg).
# If a module such as a photographic device is installed, the micro-
scope system will be very heavy. Remove the intermediate attach-
ment before carrying.
# Damage to the microscope will occur if you grasp it by the stage,
coarse/fine adjustment knob or binocular section of the observa-
tion tube.
4. The BX51/52 series can be used with up to two intermediate attach-
ments (e.g. a U-CA magnification changer, U-EPA2 eyepoint adjuster, etc.).
For restrictions when using two intermediate attachments, make sure to
read the instruction manual provided with the respective intermediate
attachments.
