Getting Ready
1. The illuminator is a precision instrument incorporating motorized parts. Always install it horizontally (it is inhibited to install
it on the side panel), handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to sudden or severe impact.

operating conditions, see Chapter 6, "SPECIFICATIONS" on page 19).
3. Only one intermediate attachment can be used, by installing the U-AFA1M active AF unit, U-CA magnification changer or
U-EPA2 eye point adjuster above the motorized illuminator.

Maintenance and Storage

1. To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirty away using a commercially available blower and wipe
gently using a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze).
If a lens is stained with fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe it gauze slightly moistened with commercially available absolute
alcohol.
!Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully.
Be sure to keep it away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks –– for example, electrical
equipment that is being switched on or off.
Also remember to always use it only in a well-ventilated room.
2. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the non-optical components of the microscope system. To clean them,
use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
