· Do not use the illuminator holder for BXFM (BX3M-ILH) with
combination of the stand (U-ST), because this makes the system
unstable.
· When using the illuminator holder for BXFM (BX3M-ILH) with
combination of the large stand (SZ-STL), the image may fluctuate or
blur irregularly when a 50X or higher-power objective is used.
It is recommended to fabricate an exclusive clamping tool to clamp
the BXFM frame (BXFM-F).
Hold the BXFM frame and the stand.
When moving the microscope, hold the stand by the bottom with one
hand, and hold the BXFM frame with the other hand.
Holding the coarse/fine focusing knobs or lamp housing, etc., may
damage the microscope.
Remove the sample and the units.
When carrying the microscope, be sure to remove the sample and the
eyepieces to prevent them from dropping.
Also, remove units attached. If you carry the microscope attached with
units, the danger to drop the microscope will be increased due to the
heavier weight.
Do not slide on the top surface of the table.
Do not move the microscope by sliding on the top surface of the table.
The rubber legs may be damaged.
