Labeled Place On the UV cut-filter support ring of the lamphouse
This is to remind you to be careful when removing the UV cut-filter.
• Be sure to only turn on the lamphouse when attached to the microscope.
• Never remove the lamphouse from the microscope and look at the lamp while lit through the
collector lens receptacle.
• The UV light emitted from the mercury lamp being lit is very dazzling and harmful to skin and
eyes. A UV (ultraviolet light) cut-filter built-in the lamphouse cuts most of the harmful UV light,
but not completely. Be sufficient care on the UV light emission.
• Looking directly at UV light emitted from the lamphouse when the UV cut-filter is removed to
perform UV excitation may result in snow blindness or at worst, loss of vision.
• Always turn off the lamp when removing the lamp socket from the lamphouse or when removing
lamphouse from the microscope.
Labeled Place Lamphouse front and side panels
These are to remind you that the lamp and surrounding area partly become extremely hot when
the lamp is lit and immediately after turned off. Be sure to follow the precautions below to avoid
risk of burn injury, fire or other accident.
• Do not touch the lamp or surrounding area while the lamp is lit or within 30 minutes after it is
turned off.
• Turn off the lamp and wait for the lamphouse and lamp to cool sufficiently before replacing the
lamp.
• Do not locate the lamphouse near walls, curtains or documents.
• Do not allow cloth, paper, or highly flammable explosive materials, such as gasoline, petroleum
benzene, thinner or alcohol, to come near the lamp or the surrounding area while the lamp is lit
or within 30 minutes after it is turned off.
• Place the power cord and lamp cord so that they do not touch the lamphouse.
