Safety Precautions
WARNING
1 Intended product use
This product should only be used for microscopic observation. Do not use it for any other purpose.
2 Do not disassemble
Disassembling may cause malfunction and/or electrical shock. Do not disassemble any parts other than those
mentioned in this manual. If you notice any malfunction, notify your dealer or nearest Nikon representative.
3 Read all instruction manuals thoroughly
To ensure safety, thoroughly study this instruction manual as well as the instruction manuals for all other units
being used. Adhere strictly to the warnings and cautions given at the beginning of these instruction manuals.
When using this product in combination with an Epi-fluorescence attachment, be sure to read its instructions.
Care is required when handling the mercury lamp used as the light source for the Epi-fluorescence attachment.
CAUTION
1 Turn the power off when assembling the system, connecting or disconnecting cables and
replacing the lamp
To prevent electrical shock and damage, be sure to switch off the power switches on the microscope, power
supply, etc., and to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before connecting or disconnecting cables and
replacing the lamp.
2 Do not wet the instrument
If the microscope or the power supply gets wet, a short circuit may result that could damage the equipment or
make it extremely hot. If you accidentally spill a liquid on the instrument, immediately turn off the power switch
and unplug the power cord. Then use a dry cloth to wipe away the moisture. If any liquid gets inside the
instrument, do not use it; instead, notify your dealer or nearest Nikon representative.

Notes on Handling the Instrument
1 Handle the instrument with care
This product is a precision optical instrument. Always handle it with care and do not subject it to strong physical shock.
2 Lens cleaning
Do not let dust, fingerprints, etc. get on the lenses. Dirt on the lenses, mirrors, etc. will adversely affect the view of the
image. If any of the lenses gets dirty, clean it as described in Chapter 5 “Care and Maintenance.”
3 Installation location
The following conditions should be kept in mind when selecting the location for installation:
● Install the instrument on a surface with little vibration.
● Install the instrument in a location which is not exposed to direct sunlight.
● Install the instrument in a location which is free from dust.
● Do not install the instrument in a warm and humid location (where the temperature is above 40°C or the humidity is
above 60%).
In such a location, mold or condensation may form on the lenses or filters.
4 Use of accessories
This attachment splits the light to allow several observers to view the same image simultaneously. Due to the working
principles of the attachment, the brightness of the image is reduced as the number of observers is increased. The light
source produces sufficient light intensity to allow normal observation of an image with adequate brightness by
adjusting the ND filters inserted in the microscope main unit (main observer’s section).
However, depending on the accessories being used, adequate brightness may not always be obtained. Please consult
your dealer or nearest Nikon representative before using accessories.
Notes on Handling the Instrument
5 Pointer and AC adapter
The AC adapter to be connected to the pointer should always be the one provided with the pointer. The use of any
other type of AC adapter could result in accidents or damage to the instruments.
6 Weak electromagnetic waves
This product emits weak electromagnetic waves. So as to avoid degrading the performance of precision electronic
devices, do not install this product near such devices. If TV or radio reception is affected, move the TV or radio farther
from this product.
