Important - Olympus SZX7 Instructions Manual

Important

The SZX7 stereomicroscope is provided with the ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protection specifications. It is provided with
electroconductive coating in the external finish to reduce the surface resistance and grounding lead wires in their standard
stand or system to eliminate static electricity from them.
CAUTION
Safety precautions
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 microscope is accompanied with the risk of dropping the specimen. Be sure to
remove the specimen before moving this product.
· Hold the bottom of the stand with one hand while holding base column with the other hand
to avoid tilting the micro-scope.
· In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous operation, promptly take the infection
prevention measures.
2. The desktop should be a level surface with an inclination of less than 3°, and the load to the
microscope should be less than 7 kg (when the SZ2-ST standard stand is used).
The microscope may become unstable when certain intermediate attachment and/or photography unit are
mounted on it. Be careful so that the microscope does not topple down.

Getting ready
1. A microscope is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to sudden or severe impact.
2. Do not use the microscope where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, dust or
vibrations. (For the operating conditions, see "6 Specifications" (P. 14).)
3. Do not turn the zoom adjustment knobs beyond the stopper positions. Otherwise, the internal mechanism may be
damaged.
Do not turn the left and right zoom adjustment knobs in the opposite directions, as this will result in a failure.
4. Only one intermediate attachment having thickness up to 60 mm can be mounted on the microscope. If two
intermediate attachments or an intermediate attachment thicker than 60 mm is mounted, the image may be cut a
little.
However, the coaxial reflected light illuminator (SZX-ILLC) is not counted in the number of intermediate attachment.

To maintain the ESD protection performance, always use the microscope in combination with the
modules described in this manual or options having the ESD protection specifications. Otherwise, the
grounding will not work properly.
When using multiple modules, they should be stacked in order of the SZX-ILLC, SZX-AS, SZX-RFA, SZX-SDO2
and SZX-EPA from the bottom to the top.
