CHAPTER 1
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
1. Maintenance of Microscope
1) Fundamental handling
a. Read the instruction manual thoroughly, handle the microscope correctly.
b. Be sure to make a usual cleaning, especially after every use of microscope.
c. When handling the microscope, do not expose it to shock, moisture, heat and dust.
d. If the problem occurs, do not treat it in self-judgement.
2) Using and storing conditions
a. The microscope should be used under no vibration.
If it is placed in such environment as vibration, this causes disturbance and fatigue in
observation.
b. It should not be stored in high humidity.
Such condition causes fungus, corrosion on lens and rust on metal part.
Therefore, special caution is exercised if stored in a long period of time.
c. Intense temperature change should be avoided.
Be careful not to place the microscope near window exposed to direct sunlight and air
conditioner. When bringing it into warm room from cold storage location in winter,
condensation occurs on lens and metal part, it causes fungus and rust.
d. It should be kept clean.
The microscope is required to keep away from dust that causes contamination, fungus
on lens and failure of sliding part in the frame.
Be careful not to place it in the environment where the corrodent chemicals such as
hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen fluoride and acid are handled.

Required tools:
1) Lens tissue
2) Cotton swab or tweezers etc.
3) Blower
4) Magnifier (Eyepiece is possible to be used by turning it upside down. Refer to page 10.)
5) Cleaning solution: e.g. Alcohol
Before cleaning: Lightly brush the lens surface or blow with the blower before wiping with tissue.
This removes particles that may scratch the lens surface. (to protect the lens
coating)
HOW TO CLEAN THE OBJECTIVE LENS
1234
Moisten the tip of
cotton swab with
cleaning solution.
When the lens size is large and difference in level
between the lens and the lens frame is small:
Fold the lens tissue several times and moisten it
with cleaning solution.
After that, apply the folded line edge to the center
of lens, push it with index finger and turn the
objective by the other hand to clean the lens
while moving it from the center towards the
periphery.
With a circular motion,
wipe the top lens
surface with the cotton
swab, to thoroughly
remove any oil or dirt
from the lens.
Dip a new cotton swab
in the cleaning solution
and shake vigorously
to remove any excess
cleaning solution.
Cleaning the immersion objective:
Wipe off the immersion oil while absorbing it with
lens tissue that is not moistened. After that, clean
the lens as the same manner mentioned on the
left. When the top surface of lens frame is higher
than that of lens and remained dirty portion on
the periphery of lens can not be wiped off, clean
the lens referring the above figures, 1 to 4.
Wipe the objective lens
from the center
towards the periphery,
while rotating the lens.

3. Preparing for Inspection
1) Set the main switch “A” to “I” (ON).
2) Adjust the brightness by turning the adjustment knob “B” .
3) Place a specimen on the stage.
4) Engage the 10X objective in the light path.
5) Rotate the condenser height adjustment knob ”C” to move the condenser to the highest position.
* The condenser is usually used in the highest position. If the entire observed field of view is
not bright enough, brightness may be improved by lowering the condenser slightly.
6) Looking through the eyepiece in the right sleeve without the diopter adjustment ring, turn the
coarse and fine focus adjustment knobs “D” to bring the specimen into focus.
7) Looking through the eyepiece in the left sleeve with the diopter adjustment ring, turn only the
diopter adjustment ring “E” to focus on the specimen.
(At this time, adjust the interpupillary distance so that the binocular visions on the left and right
fields of view coincide completely.)
8) Adjust the aperture iris diaphragm;
Since the aperture irirs diaphragm has an objective magnification scale (4X, 10X, 40X,100X),
rotate the diaphragm ring “F” so that the magnification scale corresponding to the objective
in use faces frontward.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Checking Performance of Microscope
Using the CX21 inspection sheet (P.7), check the electrical unit, mechanical and optical
performance.
2. Checking Dirty Portion
2-1 Image influence caused by dirt on each component
The following figure shows the influence of image on each optical component if stains
or dust is adhered to that portion.
In general, the microscope image is largely affected by dirt adhered on the nearer
portion to a specimen and image surfaces.
Therefore, the optical components should be kept clean and dust-free.

B: Blurred contours of dirt is seen.
C: Dirt is seen when the aperture iris diaphragm is stopped down.
D: Dirt is not directly seen, but contrast of image deteriorates.
- 8 -
CX21 MAINTENANCE MANUALINSPECTION PROCEDURE
2-2 How to find dirty portion through observation
1) Close the aperture iris diaphragm.
(When the aperture iris diaphragm is closed, it facilitates finding the dirt particles
because the depth of focus increases and the dirt position bring into focus. However,
very small dirt particle may not be found in this method.)
2) Observe a specimen through the eyepiece.
If dirt is seen by observing it, look for the portion where stains or dust is adhered by
following the description below.
Check it by rotating the eyepiece
after clamping screw is loosened.
(Wipe carefully and gently so as
not to damage the lens coating.)
Objective
Dirt is not directly seen, but
dirt and dust particles affect
the microscope image.

CX21 MAINTENANCE MANUALINSPECTION PROCEDURE
2-3 How to check cleaning condition
1) When a large lens is checked, look at the lens while putting it toward bright side or
breathe on the lens and observe the condition that the haze on the whole surface of
the lens disappears evenly.
Light
Dust becomes conspicuous when
looking at it with the lens
inclination changed.
2) For a small lens such as top lens of objective, check it by magnifier.
If there is a dirty part or a remained part that
is not cleaned completely, the haze of this
part will disappear slower than that of the
other part.
An eyepiece can be substituted for
magnifier by turning the eyepiece upside
down.
