Safety Precautions - Olympus BX45 Instructions Manual

IMPORTANT
This microscope employs a UIS2/UIS (Universal Infinity System) optical design, and should be used only
with UIS2/UIS eyepieces, objectives and condensers for the BX2 series. (Some of the modules designed for
the BX series and objectives/eyepieces for the UIS series are also usable. For details, please consult Olympus

1. After the equipment has been used in an observation of a specimen that
is accompanied with a potential of infection, clean the parts coming in
contact with the specimen to prevent infection.
· Moving this product is accompanied with the risk of dropping the speci-
men. Be sure to remove the specimen before moving this product.
· In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous operation, promptly
take the infection prevention measures.
2. Install the microscope on a sturdy, level table or bench so as not to block
the air vents on the underside of the base.
@
Do not place the microscope on a flexible surface, as this could result in
blocking the air vents and cause overheating or a fire.
3. To prevent obstruction of the natural convection-based air cooling of the
microscope, make sure to leave at least 10 cm of free space between
walls or other objects, and the left, right and rear sides of the microscope
and the lamp socket when installing the microscope.
4. To avoid potential shock hazards and burns when replacing the light
bulb, set the main switch @ to "

during use or right after use, allow the lamp socket ² and bulb to cool
before touching. (Figs 1 & 2)
