eyepieces, objectives and condensers, etc. (Other modules described on page 21 may also be usable with this
microscope. For details, please consult Olympus or the catalogue.) Less than optimum performance may result if
inappropriate accessories are used.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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-topping measures to
Fig. 1
prevent the specimen from being dropped when the product topples
down.
2. To avoid potential shock hazard and fire, always set the main switch @
to “ ” (OFF) and disconnect the power cord from the AC receptacle
at the rear of the microscope and from the wall outlet before replacing
the bulb. Allow the lamp housing cover ² and the bulb to cool before
touching them.
3. Install the microscope on a sturdy, level table.
The air vents on the underside of the base should never be blocked
by placing the microscope on a flexible surface such as a carpet, as
this could result in overheating and cause a fire.
4. 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,
Olympus can no longer warrant the electrical safety and performance
of the equipment.
5. When installing the microscope, route the power cord away from the
microscope base. Should the power cord come in contact with the hot
microscope base, the power cord could melt and cause electric shock.
6. Connect the power cord correctly and ensure that the grounding
terminal of the power supply and that of the wall outlet are properly
connected. If the equipment is not grounded, Olympus can no longer
warrant the electrical safety and performance of the equipment.
7. Never set the main switch @ to “ ” (ON) while any metallic object is
inserted into the air vents of the microscope frame as this will result in
electrical shock, personal injury and equipment damage.
8. When the microscope is not in use or when it is malfunctioning,
disconnect the power cord plug from the AC receptacle or from the
wall outlet.

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 non-optical components of the microscope. To clean them, use a
lint-free, soft cloth lightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. Do not disassemble any part of the microscope as malfunction or damage may occur.
4. When not using the microscope, ensure that the frame is cooled down and store it in a locker or cover it with a dust
cover.
5. When disposing of the microscope, check the regulations and rules of your local goverment and be sure to observe
them.

USING THE CONTROLS
3-1 Base
Turning On the Bulb (Fig. 3)
1
1. Set the main switch @ to “ ” (ON).
2. Turn the light intensity knob ² clockwise in the direction of the arrow
to make the illumination brighter or counterclockwise to make it darker.
The numbers around the knob indicates the reference voltage values.
Fig. 3
Field Iris Diaphragm (Fig. 4)
2
Using the field iris diaphragm ring @, adjust the diameter of the field
iris for objective power to the extent that it just circumscribes the field
of view. When the field iris diaphragm is stopped down to circumscribe
the field of view, it will exclude extraneous light and improve image
contrast within the field of view.
#When using the 100X objective, the field iris diaphragm image will
not be visible within the field of view. Accordingly, stop down the
diaphragm to its smallest diameter.
Fig. 4
Dummy Slider
3
The dummy slider provided with the microscope frame can be used to
accommodate the optional transmitted light analyzer (U-ANT).
By preparing a transmitted light polarizer (U-POT) and polarizing light
condenser (CH3-CDP), simple polarized light observation becomes
possible.
Also refer to the instruction manual of the CX-POL.

Adjusting the Coarse Adjustment Knob Tension (Fig. 5)
1
1. The coarse adjustment knob tension is preadjusted for easy use.
However, if desired, one can change the tension using the tension
adjustment ring @. Applying a large flat-bladed screwdriver to any of
the grooves ² on the circumference of the ring, turning the ring
clockwise (in the direction of the arrow) increases tension, and vice
versa.
2. The tension is too low if the stage drops by itself of focus is quickly lost
after adjustment with the fine adjustment knob ³. In this case, turn the
ring in the direction of the arrow to increase tension.
Pre-focusing Lever (Fig. 6)
2
CX41
Fig. 6
The pre-focusing lever ensures that the objective does not come in
contact with the specimen and simplifies focusing.
After focusing on the specimen with the coarse adjustment knob, turn
this lever @ clockwise (in the direction of the arrow) and lock; the
upper limit on coarse adjustment movement is set at the locked
position.
}Focusing using the fine adjustment knob is not affected by the pre-
focusing dial. Accordingly, after using the coarse adjustment knob to
lower the stage for changing specimens or applying immersion oil
(see section 3-6), refocusing is easily accomplished by rotating the
coarse adjustment to reach the pre-focusing position, then making fine
adjustments with the fine adjustment knob.
#When not required, leave the pre-focusing dial unlocked.
