IMPORTANT The SZ2 series of stereo microscopes are provided with ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protection specifications. They are provided with electroconductive coating in their external finish to reduce the surface resistance and grounding lead wires in their standard base or frame to eliminate static electricity from them. CAUTION 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.
series Maintenance and Storage 1. To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirty away using a commercially available blower and wipe gently using a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze). If a lens is stained with fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe it gauze slightly moistened with commercially available absolute alcohol.
SUMMARY OF OBSERVATION PROCEDURE 2-1 Preparation (Page) ............................1. Confirm the mounting, particularly that of the microscope body. (P. 14 - 16) .................. 2. Confirm that the eyepieces are positioned correctly with respect to the standard base. (P. 15) ..................................3.
series OPERATION 3-1 Base Using the Stage Plate When reflected light illumination is used, the stage plate can be placed either the white or black surface facing up depending on which side makes the specimen easier to view. # To maintain the ESD performance, use the black surface of the SZ2- SPBW stage plate.
Eyepieces with eyepiece micrometer disk ³ 1. Look through the eyepiece with eyepiece micrometer disk and rotate its diopter adjustment rings ² to bring the micrometer scale into focus. 2. Place an easy-to-observe specimen on the stage plate. ƒ 3. Set the zoom adjustment knob ³ for low magnification, look through the ²...
series Using the Eye Shades (Fig. 7) # The eye shades are not provided with ESD protection performance. When ESD protection is required, do not use the eye shades. When Wearing Eyeglasses Use with the eye shades in the normal, folded-down position. This will prevent the eyeglasses from being scratched.
Using the Auxiliary Objectives (Fig. 10) }All of the auxiliary objectives are provided with the ESD protection performance. # The 0.3X and 0.4X auxiliary objectives cannot be used in combina- tion with the standard base because their working distances are too long.

OPTIONAL MODULES 8-1 BX Stage Adapter Type 1 SZX-STAD1 Introduction The SZX-STAD1 is an adapter for use in mounting the U-SRG or U-SRP rotary stage on the SZ2-ST standard base, SZ- ST standard base, large base or SZX illumination base. The U-SRP is used in combination with the U-FMP mechanical stage to enable movement in the X- and Y-directions, which is convenient for framing in photomicrography or TV observation.
