  • Page 5: Introduction

    CX43-RFAB Introduction This product is used for a reflected light fluorescence observation in combination with the biological microscope CX43. If the product is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be imperiled. In addition, the product may also be damaged.
  • Page 6: Safety Precautions

    Safety precautions CAUTION - Electric safety - Always use the AC adapter and power cord provided by Olympus. If the proper AC adapter and the power cord are not used, the electric safety and the EMC (Electro-Magnetic Compat- ibility) performance of the product cannot be assured. If no power cord is provided, please select the proper power cord by referring to the section “Proper selection of the power cord”...
  • Page 7 CX43-RFAB CAUTION - LED (light emitting diode) - Do not look directly at the light from LED for a long time. If you feel that the light from LED is too bright during observation, adjust the light intensity using the brightness adjustment knob before continuing the observation.
  • Page 8 CAUTION - Safety symbols - The following symbols are attached to the product. Study the meaning of the symbols and always use the product in the safest possible manner. Symbol Meaning Indicates a non-specific general hazard. Follow the description given after this symbol or in the instruction manual.
  • Page 9 Do not use organic solvents because they may deteriorate the coated surface or plastic parts. NOTE 3. When disposing of this product, be sure to follow the regulations and rules of your local government. Contact Olympus for any questions.

  • Page 11: Reflected Fluorescence Observation Method

    CX43-RFAB Reflected fluorescence observation method For reflected fluorescence observation, the B excitation fluorescence illuminator is necessary. (For attaching procedures, see “4 Assembly” on page 10.) If the analyzer for simple polarization and the polarizer are engaged in the light path, remove them from the light path.
  • Page 12: Operation Procedures

    Operation procedures Operating the B excitation fluorescence illuminator For attaching and removing the B excitation fluorescence illuminator, see page 10. Set the main switch of the B excitation fluorescence illuminator to  (ON). When the B excitation fluorescence illuminator is not in use, slide it in the arrow direction until it touches the end to remove it from the light path.
  • Page 13: Escaping The Condenser Top Lens

    CX43-RFAB Escaping the condenser top lens During fluorescence observation, when the background light of the field of view becomes darker, the contrast of the fluorescence observation image is improved. If the condenser turret is set to FL (fluorescence observation), the background light of the field of view can be darker than that of other turret positions. If you want to make the background light of the field of view darker effectively, escape the condenser top lens from the light path.
  • Page 14: 4 Assembly

     Assembly Attaching the B excitation fluorescence illuminator Be sure to set the main switch of the B excitation CAUTION fluorescence illuminator to (OFF) before attaching or removing the B excitation fluorescence illuminator. Remove the cover plate for insertion portion of the fluorescence illuminator by inserting the flathead screwdriver into the notch Be sure to store the cover plate in a safe place.
