    IX81-ZDC2 OPERATION 3-1 Operating Precautions The Class 1 laser beam that is output from the objective is not hazardous (but direct staring for an extended period is still inhibited), and the laser beam intensity will not increase even in the case of malfunction. However, to prevent an incident, make sure not to tilt the glass bottom dish so that the reflected laser beam will not be scattered around.
  • Page 12 (Fig. 2) } If you use an oil-immersion objective, use immersion oil as described below. Always use immersion oil supplied by Olympus. CAUTION } If the objective in use can accommodate the oil-proof cap, be sure to mount the cap.
