1. Setting Up the Microscope
Q^ypiQjsj • When moving the microscope, have at least two people carry the microscope, at
f least one on each side, using the carrying handles.
• Be sure to screw the carrying handles in as far as they will go and make sure that
they are secure. If the carrying handles are not attached securely, they could
come out or break while the microscope is being carried, creating a hazardous
situation. Screw the carrying handles into the upper holes on the rear of the mi¬
croscope. If you use the lower holes, your hands will be caught between the handles
and the table when you set the microscope down.
• In addition, when transporting the assembled microscope, do not grasp the coarse
focus knob, the fine focus knob, the eyepiece tube, the stage, etc., when carrying
the microscope; there is a chance that the part could come off, and the equipment
could be damaged.
• Be careful not to pinch your hands or fingers when installing the microscope.
Installation location
This product is a precision optical instrument, and using or storing it under unsuitable conditions
may damage it or may have an adverse effect on its precision. The following conditions should
be kept in mind when selecting the installation location:
• Avoid installing the microscope in a bright location, such as in a room that receives direct
sunlight, or directly under room lights. The quality of the view through the microscope dete¬
riorates if there is a lot of ambient light.
• Install the microscope in a location that is free from dust or dirt.
• Install the microscope on a flat surface with little vibration.
• Install the microscope on a sturdy desk or table that is able to bear the weight of the micro¬
scope.
• Install the microscope in a location where the temperature will range from 0 to 40°C and
where the humidity is less than 85%. If the microscope is installed in a warm, humid
location, condensation or mold may form on the lenses, degrading performance or damage
the equipment.
Screw the carrying handles into the holes on both sides of the front and rear (use the upper holes) of
the microscope. Be sure to screw all of the handles in as far as they will go.
