Safety Precautions & Reminder
1. Be sure to turn off the power switch and remove the power cord plug before
installing this unit, replacing the bulb / fuse or plugging and unplugging the
power supply unit. This is to prevent electric shock or getting fingers burnt.
2.Check unit voltage is in compliance with your local power supply voltage,
otherwise contact your supplier. Improper input voltage may render unit not
workable or a short circuit and damage the unit.
3.Use specified bulb, fuse and power cord which otherwise may damage the unit.
Any extended power cord if used, must be grounded (PE).
4. Do not expose unit to high temperatures and dampness. Suitable operating
environment is between 5°C to 35°C, and relative humidity of 20%-80% (at
25°C). Do not subject unit to direct sunlight.
5. Do not touch the halogen lamp box when using the unit as bulbs inside
generate excess heat which can burn your hand. Do not handle bulb with bare
hand within 1
0 minutes after switching off power
supply as bulb is still hot, especially when changing a defective bulb.
6. To prevent fire, do not place any fibrous product, paper, flammable or
explosive material (e.g., gasoline, petroleum ether, alcohol) near the halogen
lamp box .
7.When using coarse / fine focus knobs or height adjustment knob, do not
continue to turn them beyond the limits or the internal mechanism can be
damaged..

I. Characteristics and applications
The inverted microscope adopts an inverted structure that focuses by lifting or lowering the
objectives, and is provided with long working distance plan objectives and Wide-field plan eyepieces.
The long working distance condenser system can be placed into or out of the light path, and is suitable
for tissue observation in a high culture dish. The phase contrast device can be attached to the light path
to perform transmitted phase contrast microscopic observation. This unit is suitable for the microscopic
observation of cells, tissues and clear liquid tissues, and the dynamic microscopic observation of tissues
cultured in a culture dish, and is applicable to scientific research institutions, colleges and universities,
medical and health, inspection and quarantine agencies, agricultural, animal husbandry and dairy
industries.
