CAUTION
1. Check the light source
The power supplies V-PS 100DU and V-PS100E provide the power for the halogen lamp that serves as
the microscope light source. Although these power supplies can power a-halogen lamp of up to 12 V/
100 W, the specified lamp and lamphouse must be used. The equipment could be damaged if a non-
specified combination of components is used.
Specified lamphouse : Nikon halogen lamphouse Model C-LP HALOGEN 12V100W
Specified lamp : Halogen lamp, 12 V-100 W LONGLIFE
OSRAM HLX 64623 or PHILIPS 7724
2. Turn off the power when connecting or disconnecting cables or when replacing the lamp
In order to prevent electric shock and damage to the equipment, always turn the power switch on the
power supply off (flip it to the " " side) and unplug the power cord before connecting or disconnecting
cables or replacing the lamp.
3. Cautions when replacing the lamp
In order to prevent bums, allow the lamp to cool (for at least thirty minutes after turning off the power)
before replacing the lamp. Furthermore, in order to prevent electric shock and damage to the equipment,
always turn the power switch on the power supply off (flip it to the ~ " side) and unplug the power cord
before replacing the lamp.
After replacing the lamp, make sure that the lamphouse cover is securely closed.
Never use the lamphouse while its cover is open.
4. Do not wet
If the microscope or the power supply becomes wet, a short circuit may result and the equipment could
be damaged or could become extremely hot. If you accidentally spill a liquid on the equipment,
immediately turn the power sw itch on the power supply off (flip it to the " " side) and unplug the power
cord. Then use a dry' cloth to wipe away the moisture. If any liquid gets inside of the equipment, do not
attempt to use it; instead, contact your nearest Nikon representative.
5. Weak electromagnetic waves
This microscope emits weak electromagnetic waves. The accuracy of any precision electronic equipment
may be adversely affected if positioned near this microscope. If this microscope affects TV or radio
reception, move the radio or TV away from the microscope.
6. Cautions concerning installation
Be careful not to pinch your hands or fingers when installing the microscope.
This microscope is a precision optical instrument, and using or storing it under unsuitable conditions
may damage it or may have an adverse affect on its precision. See "Installation Location" on P.27, and
use this microscope in a suitable environment.
7. Notes on transport
Because this microscope is a precision optical device, handle it carefully and do not subject it to strong
physical shocks. (The precision of the objective in particular may be adversely affected by even weak
physical shocks.)
When moving the microscope, first detach the lamphouse. Then have at least two people carry the
microscope, at 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 hadles into the upper holes on the rear of the
microscope. If you use the lower holes, your hands will be caught between the handles and the table
when you place the microscope down. (P.27)
In addition, 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.
