IMPORTANT

This microscope employs a UIS (Universal Infinity System) optical design, and should be used only with UIS 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.

2Maintenance and Storage

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

1		Turning On the Bulb	(Fig. 3)

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

2		Field Iris Diaphragm	(Fig. 4)

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

3Dummy Slider

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.

3-2 Focusing Block

1	Adjusting the Coarse Adjustment Knob Tension (Fig. 5)
	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
Fig. 5	ring in the direction of the arrow to increase tension.

	2	Pre-focusing Lever	(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
	Fig. 6	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.
