Nikon ECLIPSE MA200 Instructions Manual page 8

• Do not hold the focus knobs, eyepiece tube, lamphouse, stage, and so on, when carrying the microscope.
They may come off and may cause serious injury or malfunction.
• Be careful not to pinch your hands or fingers during transportation.
6. Cautions on assembling the microscope
• Be careful not to pinch your fingers or hands during assembly.
• Scratches or fingerprints on the optical components, including lenses or filters etc., will adversely affect the
image. Be careful not to scratch or touch the lens surfaces.
7. Cautions on replacing lamps
• To prevent burn injuries, wait at least 30 minutes after the lamp is turned off to give it sufficient time to cool
down when replacing lamps.
• To prevent electrical shock and damage to the microscope, always turn off the power switch (set the switch
to the " " side) and unplug the power cord from the outlet before attaching or detaching the lamphouse.
• Never touch the glass surface of the lamp with bare hands. Doing so may cause fingerprints, grease, etc.,
to generate ghost images on the lamp surface, reducing the illumination. If you do get any fingerprints or
dirt on the lamp, wipe them clean.
• Make sure the lamphouse cover is securely fitted to the lamphouse after replacing lamps. Never turn on
the lamp with the lamphouse cover removed.
• When you dispose of the replaced lamp, do not break it. Instead, dispose of the used lamp as industrial
waste or dispose of it according to the local regulations and rules.
8. Cable routing
Make sure the cables are routed properly. Do not bring the cables into contact with the lamphouse. If a cable
comes into contact with the lamphouse, the cable sheath may melt and it may result in an electrical shock or
fire. Additionally, connect the cables by placing them into the cable keeper on the rear of the microscope main
body.
