SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. After the equipment has been used in an observation of a specimen
²³

Fig. 2
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.
2. Install the microscope on a sturdy, level table or bench (Weight: CKX31
about 8 kg, CKX41 about 8.8 kg).
3. When transporting the microscope, be sure to keep it horizontal by holding
it by the root of the observation tube relay tube 1 and the illumination
column 2. (Fig. 1)
Be sure to remove the specimen since it may fall.
# Do not tilt it during carrying to prevent damaging the desktop or
microscope.
4. Culture liquid or water spilt on the stage, objective or microscope frame
may damage the equipment. Immediately disconnect the power cord
from the wall outlet and wipe the liquid or water off if it is spilt on them.
5. The surfaces of the lamp socket 3 of the illumination column will become
extremely hot during operation. When installing the microscope, make
sure to allow ample free space around and in particular above the lamp
socket. (Fig. 1)
When using the TV camera or photomicrographic system, install them so
that the connection cable does not come in contact with the lamp socket.
6. To avoid potential shock hazards and burns when replacing the light
bulb, set the main switch 4 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 socket 3 and bulb to cool before
touching. (Figs. 1 & 2)
Designated
bulbs:
7. 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.
8. 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.

9. The microscope system is unstable when the large camera back
is attached. When pulling out the film, be sure to hold the microscope with one hand.
10. Always turn the light intensity control knob 5 gently. Do not attempt to turn it beyond the stop position. (Fig. 2)
Safety Symbols
The following symbols are found on the microscope. Study the meaning of the symbols and always use the equipment
in the safest possible manner.
Symbol Explanation
Indicates that the surface becomes hot, and should not be touched with bare hands.
Before use, carefully read the instruction manual. Improper use could result in personal injury to
the user and/or damage to the equipment.
Indicates that the main switch is ON.
Indicates that the main switch is OFF.
Warnings
Warning engraving is placed at parts where special precaution is required when handling and using the microscope.
Always heed the warnings.

Getting Ready
1
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, see chapter 8, “SPECIFICATIONS”.)
3. Use the tension adjustment ring to adjust the rotation tension of the coarse adjustment knob.
4. For the applicable objectives, see chapter 8, “SPECIFICATIONS”. Olympus cannot guarantee the performance when other
objective than specified is used.

Maintenance and Storage
2
1. Clean all glass components by wiping gently with gauze. To remove fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe with gauze slightly
moistened with a mixture of ether (70%) and alcohol (30%).
Since solvents such as ether and alcohol are highly flammable, they must be handled carefully. Be sure to keep
these chemicals away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks –– for example, electrical equipment that is being switched on or off. Also remember to always use these chemicals 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. Be careful not to spill any liquid –– such as a culture solution –– on the unit. If you do spill anything, immediately set the
main switch to “ ” (OFF) and unplug the power cord. Then wipe away any liquid on or under the objectives.
4. If no objectives are mounted, be sure to cover the objective mounting threaded positions on the revolving nosepiece to
prevent and dust and spilled culture solution from getting on the lenses inside.
5. Do not disassemble any part of the microscope as this could result in malfunction or reduced performance.
6. When not using the microscope, keep it covered with a dust cover. Make sure the lamp socket is cool before covering the
microscope.
7. Using a device that radiates ultraviolet light such as a germicidal lamp near the microscope may discolor (yellow) parts
of the microscope surface. The amount of discoloration depends on the radiation intensity of the ultraviolet light and the
distance between the microscope and radiation source. When not using the microscope, cover it with the dust cover. We
recommend that you also cover the microscope with an impermeable sheet.
Caution
3
If the microscope is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be imperiled. In addition,
the equipment may also be damaged. Always use the equipment as outlined in this instruction manual.
The following symbols are used to set off text in this instruction manual.
: Indicates that failure to follow the instructions in the warning could result in bodily harm to the
user and/or damage to equipment (including objects in the vicinity of the equipment).
# : Indicates that failure to follow the instructions could result in damage to equipment.
} : Indicates commentary (for ease of operation and maintenance).
Intended use
4
This instrument has been designed to be used to observe magnified images of specimens in routine and research
applications.
Do not use this instrument for any purpose other than its intended use.
This device complies with the requirements of directive 98/79/EC concerning in vitro diagnostic medical devices. CE marking means the conformity to the directive.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
FCC WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

SUMMARY OF OBSERVATION PROCEDURE
1. Set the main switch 1 to “ I ” (ON) and turn the light intensity control knob
2 to obtain appropriate brightness. (Page 9)
@
2. When using the U-TR30-2 trinocular tube, push in the light path selector
knob 3 to set the light path at 100% for binocular observation. (Page 14)
³
3. Place a specimen on the stage. (Page 10)
4. Turn the revolving nosepiece to bring the 10X objective into the light path.
Be sure to turn the revolving nosepiece until it clicks.
|
5. Adjust the interpupillary distance of the eyepieces. (Page 11)
6. Adjust the diopter of the eyepieces. (Page 12)
7. Bring the required objective into the light path and focus on the specimen.
8. When using the 40X objective provided with the correction collar, set the
scale on the correction collar according to the thickness of the vessel
bottom. (Page 16)
}When performing phase contrast observation, see pages 17 and after.
9. When observing an undyed specimen with brightfield, stop down the
aperture iris diaphragm 4. In phase contrast observation, set the aperture
wide open. (Page 15)
Bring the required filter into the light path. (Page 15)
In brightfield observation, use the LBD filter. In phase contrast observation,
10.
use the IF550 green filter as required.
}In photomicrography, it is recommended to use the 45HA heat absorbing
filter.
