Notes on Handling the Product

1. Handle with care.
The product is a precision optical instrument. Handle the product with care and avoid physical shocks
and vibrations.
In particular, the precision of objectives may be lost by even weak physical shocks.
2. Installation location and storage location
The product is a precision optical instrument. Use or storage of the product under inappropriate
conditions may result in malfunctions or loss of precision. The following conditions must be considered
for the installation location and the storage location.
• Install the product in a location with a temperature of 0 to 40°C and a relative humidity of 85% or
less (no condensation).
Store the product in a location with a temperature of -20 to 60°C and a relative humidity of 90% or
less (no condensation).
Use or storage of the product in a hot or humid location may result in molding of or condensation on
the lenses, loss of precision, and malfunctions.
• Install the product in a place with little dust and dirt.
When storing the product, place a cover over the product to protect it from dust.
• Install the product in a place with little vibration.
• Install and store the product on a level and sturdy table or stage that can bear the weight of the
product.
Install the product in a location with minimal exposure to hazards in the event of earthquakes and
other potential disasters. If necessary, secure the product to the working desk or other heavy and
stable items with a strong rope or other means, so as to prevent it from falling.
• Avoid placing the product in direct sunlight or immediately under the room lights.
The image quality is degraded in a bright environment due to the extraneous light entering the
objective. A room light immediately above the microscope may also enter the objective as
extraneous light, especially when using a condenser lens with a longer working distance (i.e. ELWD
and LWD). In this case, it is recommended that you turn off the room light above the microscope.
• Install the product at least 10 cm away from the surrounding walls.
When using TI-DH Dia Pillar Illuminator 100W, install the product at least 15 cm away from the wall,
so that the caution labels on the dia pillar illuminator and the lamphouse are visible. Note that TI-DH
Dia Pillar Illuminator 100W can be inclined backward to secure working space. To utilize this function,
install the product so that there is enough space between the product and the wall for the dia pillar
illuminator to be inclined.
• Do not install the product in a closed space such as a locker or a cabinet.
• Do not place items on the product.
• Install the product so that the power cords to the AC adapter and the power supply can be
unplugged immediately in case of an emergency.
3. Notes on handling optical parts
Scratches and dirt (i.e. fingerprints) on optical components such as lenses and filters will degrade the
microscope image.
Handle the optical components with care, so as not to damage them. If they require cleaning, see
Chapter 6, "Daily Maintenance."
4. Notes on handling the lamp
Do not touch the lamp glass with your bare hands. Fingerprints and other dirt on the lamp may result in
uneven illumination and reduce the service life of the lamp. Wear gloves or use other pieces of clothes
when handling the lamp.
