4. Check the Input Voltage
Confirm that the input voltage range of the
power supply unit of the microscope
corresponds to that of the available line voltage.
If they don't, never tum on the power switch.
Contact your nearest Nikon representative.
Detach the battery chamber cover from the
bottom of the control box, and confirm that the
voltage selection switch is set at the available
line voltage. If the switch is not so set, set it.
5. Check the Light Source
The power supply unit of the microscope is to
light the halogen lamps mentioned in the table
below. The table shows specified combinations
to form each of the light sources for this
microscope. The use of other light sources may
result in malfunction.
Specified Lamps
Halogen lamp 12V-IO0W LONGLIFE
(OSRAM HLX64623 or PHILIPS 7724)
Halogen lamp 12V-50W
(OSRAM HLX64610 or PHILIPS 7027)
6. Use of a Mercury or Xenon Lamp <WARNING>
When using a high-intensity light source (HG or
Xe), and performing brightfield, darkfield,
simplified polarization, differential interference
contrast or other microscopy (except epi­
fluorescence microscopy), use ONLY the
collector lens indicated "Epi UV-C".
If you don't use this particular collector lens or
if you use no collector lens for the above forms
of microscopic observation, you may be in
danger of losing your eyesight due to the
influence of the ultraviolet light involved.
