Attaching the Lamp House and Replacing Lamps

CAUTION
• To prevent electrical shock and damage to the microscope, always turn off the power
switch (flip it to the " " side) and unplug the power cord from the outlet before
attaching or detaching the lamp house.
• To prevent burn injury, allow the lamp and the lamp house to cool down sufficiently
(for at least 30 minutes after the lamp is turned off), before replacing lamps.
• Use the Nikon LV-LH50PC Halogen Lamphouse for the lamp house.
• Use the Nikon LV-HL50W 12V 50W LONGLIFE Halogen Lamp or non-Nikon 12V
50W SHORTLIFE halogen lamp (model OSRAM HLX 64610, OSRAM HLX 64611,
or PHILIPS 7027) for the lamp. If you wish to buy these lamps, please contact your
nearest Nikon representative.
• Never touch the glass surface of the lamp with bare hands. Doing so will cause
fingerprints, grease, etc. to burn onto the lamp surface, reducing the illumination. If
you do get any fingerprints or dirt on the lamp, wipe them clean.
• Make sure the lamp house cover is securely fitted to the lamp house after replacing
lamps. Never turn on the lamp with the lamp house cover removed.
• When you dispose of the replaced lamp, do not break it up. Instead, dispose of the
used lamp as special industrial waste or dispose of it according to the local regulations
and rules.
