Configuration of Instruction Manuals
Since these microscopes are expandable to a variety of systems, separate instruction manuals are provided
so that the user has to read only the manuals according to the user’s own system.
1. After the equipment has been used in an observation of a specimen that
is accompanied with a potential of infection, clean the parts coming in
contact with the specimen to prevent infection.
· Moving this product is accompanied with the risk of dropping the
specimen. Be sure to remove the specimen before moving this
product.
· In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous operation, promptly
take the infection prevention measures.
· The product becomes unstable if its height is increased by an accessory
mounted on it. In this case, take anti-toppling measures to prevent the
specimen from being dropped when the product topples down.
2. Install the microscope on a sturdy, level table or bench so as not to block
the air vents on the underside of the base.
Do not place the microscope on a flexible surface, as this could result in
blocking the air vents and cause overheating or a fire.
3. If a foreign object is caught during motorized focusing operation, there
will be an error in the focusing block and the motorized focusing operation will be suspended.
Recovery procedure
· If there is no error in motorized operation, the caught object can be
removed by turning the focusing knob.
· If there is an error in motorized operation, the focusing knob becomes
inoperable. Disassemble the relevant modules to remove the caught
object. Replace the relevant modules afterward.
· Turn off the power and then on again. The system will restart unless
there is a malfunction in the motor.
4. To activate temporary stop during focusing operation, turn the focusing
knob (or dial) on the microscope frame (in either direction) or press any of
the FOCUS control buttons ( , , F/C and ESC) (except during PC
communication).
When the main switch of the BX-UCB control box is set to “ I ” (ON), the
focusing operation starts automatically as part of initialization (this operation consists of temporary lowering and then returning to the original
position of the stage). If any of the operations mentioned above is performed, an emergency stop will also occur. In this case, set the main
switch to “ ” (OFF) and then “ I ” (ON) again.

5. When lowering the stage by pressing the stage DOWN button @, be
careful not to have your hand caught between the bottom ² of the condenser and the base.
6. The surfaces of the lamp housing on the rear of the microscope will
become extremely hot during operation. When installing the microscope,
make sure to allow ample free space (10 cm or more) around and in
particular above the lamp housing.
7. When installing the microscope, route the power cord away from the
lamp housing. Should the power cord come in contact with the hot lamp
housing, the power cord could melt and cause electric shock.
8. To avoid potential shock hazards and burns when replacing the light
bulb, set the main switch ³ to “ ” (OFF) then disconnect the power cord
from the wall outlet in advance. Whenever you replace the bulb during
use or right after use, allow the lamp housing | and bulb to cool before
touching. (Fig. 2)

# The microscope also incorporate a fuse (this should be
replaced by the manufacturer or an authorized agent).
9. Always use the power cord provided by Olympus. If no power cord is
provided, please select the proper power cord by referring to the section
“PROPER SELECTION OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD” at the end of
this instruction manual. If the proper power cord is not used, product
safety performance cannot be warranted.
10.
Always ensure that the grounding terminal of the microscope and that
of the wall outlet are properly connected. If the equipment is not grounded,
Olympus can no longer warrant the electrical safety performance of the
equipment.
11.
Never insert metallic objects into the air vents of the microscope frame
as this could result in electrical shock, personal injury and equipment
damage.
When using the U-FWR motorized filter wheel for reflected light observa-
12.
tion, remove the push ring driver from the position where it is attached by
magnetism in advance to prevent it from dropping.
If the driver drops in a certain place, an electric shock and/or burns may result.

1 Getting Ready
Fig. 3
BX61
1. A microscope is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid
subjecting it to sudden or severe impact.
2. Do not use the microscope where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high
temperature and humidity, dust or vibrations. (For the operating conditions, refer to chapter 5, “SPECIFICATIONS”.)
3. When moving the microscope, remove the modules that may drop
including the specimen from the microscope in advance, hold it by the
hand hook on the rear and the base as shown on the left (Fig. 3) and
carry carefully (Weight: approx. 16 kg).
#Before transporting the microscope, be sure to remove the speci-
men, eyepieces and color glass filter so that they will not drop. Also
remove other modules attached to the microscope because they
increase the system weight.
# Damage to the microscope will occur if you grasp it by the stage,
focus adjustment knob or binocular section of the observation tube.
4. The BX61 series can be used with up to two intermediate attachments
including a U-CA magnification changer, U-EPA2 eyepoint adjuster, etc.
For restrictions when using two intermediate attachments, make sure to
read the instruction manuals provided with the respective intermediate
attachments.
2 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.
!Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully.
Be sure to keep it away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks –– for example, electrical
equipment that is being switched on or off, which could cause ignition of a fire.
Also remember to always use it only in a well-ventilated room.
2. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the microscope components other than the glass components. To clean
them, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. Do not disassemble any part of the microscope as this could result in malfunction or reduced performance.
4. When not using the microscope, set the main switch to “ ” (OFF), wait until the lamp housing has cooled down, and
cover the microscope with a dust cover before storage.
