SZX-AR1 System
Handling precautions
Restrictions
·When linking units of the SZX7 system, SZX10 system, or SZX16 system with this system, never use this
system as a medical instrument, for diagnostics, or for similar purposes.
·Each focusing unit has a limit in load capacity. "Load capacity of focusing unit" on page 8 See "Load
capacity of focusing unit" on page 7, and do not use a combination that exceeds the load capacity.
·This system displays dimensions and magnifications but their accuracy is not guaranteed. Therefore,
these values should be used for reference only.
·This system is not dustproof or mold-proof.
·This system does not support ESD.
·If you move your line of sight while looking into the AR tilting trinocular tube, the AR image may shake.
·If the sample is not in focus, the AR image may appear doubled.
·If you change the zoom magnification, the depth perception of the AR image may change.
·If the focus adjustment knob is not in the click position, the AR image is not displayed.
·When acquiring images with the camera, the light (room light, etc.) through the eyepieces may appear
on the image. In this case, put on the eyepiece cover provided with the AR tilting trinocular tube before
conducting imaging.
·If you increase the exposure time of the camera when the observed image is dark and also the AR image
brightness is set to maximum, flares or ghosts may appear on the acquired image.
·When observing highly reflective samples, flares or ghosts may appear on the image.
·For the observable ranges on sample surfaces through the eyepieces and the camera when using the
objective lens at 1x magnification, see "7-4 Observation and Camera Imaging" on page 23.
·If you observe the image with the camera exceeding the observable range through the eyepieces, the
peripheral light may be insufficient if the zoom magnification is set to the minimum.
·During observation, some areas around the field of view may appear darker than the center of the field
of view.
·If the diopter of the eyepiece is not adjusted correctly, the camera image may not be focused even
though the sample is in focus. If the camera image is still blurry even after adjusting the diopter, adjust
focus and carry out imaging while checking the camera image on the monitor.
·Before adjusting the tension of the focusing unit, lower the focusing unit to the lowest position.
General precautions
• This product is a precision instrument. Treat this product with care and avoid subjecting it
to impacts.
• Disassembling the product could cause unexpected accidents or failure. Neverdisassemble
the product.
• Do not use the product in areas where it may be subjected to direct sunlight, high humidity,
dust, vibrations or out of operating temperature range (10°C to 35°C). Otherwise the
product may be damaged.
(For operating environment conditions, see "9 Specifications" on page 34.)
• For units which can be attached to this product, see pages 16, 17, and 18.
The use of this product in combination with other units not only creates the risk of abnormal
operation, but may also damage the product.
• Before disposing of this product, be sure to follow the regulations and rules of your local
government.
NOTE

7
·When the zoom magnification sensor is attached, minor scratches may be made on the focus adjustment
knob.
·The magnification indicated on the focus adjustment knob may differ from the total magnification shown
in the software in the following cases. To avoid this confusion, remove the magnification indication
sticker or the magnification ring attached to the focus adjustment knob before use.
(a) When the magnification ring provided with the objectives (DFPL0.75X-4, DFPLAPO1.25X,
SZX-ACH1.25X-2, DFPL1.5X-4, or DFPL2X-4) is attached.
(b) When the magnification indication sticker provided with the ergonomic trinocular tube SZX2-LTTR is
attached.
·Attach the extendable eyepoint adjuster, AS unit (SZX-XB7 only) and coaxial reflected light illumination
unit between the AR tilting trinocular tube and the zoom microscope body in this order from top.
·With the SDFPLAPO1.6XPF or SDFPLAPO2XPFC objective, vignetting may occur when the zoom is set at
low magnification.
·If you use the extendable eyepoint adjuster function to set the eyepoint height at 150 mm, set the zoom
magnification to the minimum, and set the AS to a value other than maximum, vignetting occurs in the
area around the field of view.
·Ghosting may appear on the edges of images captured with the camera if the extendable eyepoint
adjuster function is being used at a height of 50 mm or more.
·This system does not support the location change of the PC. Therefore, use the OS keeping the language
setting made at setup, i.e. Japanese or English. (The change of time zone is supported.)
·When connecting the camera via USB, connect directly to the device without a USB hub or other
intermediary device.
·The AR tilting trinocular tube cannot be used if it is connected to SZX2-ARTTR via a VGA analog signal
converter.
·The camera function cannot be used on the software without connecting the AR tilting trinocular tube.
Confirm that the connection of the AR tilting trinocular tube and the camera is recognized.
·Tilting the zoom microscope body after mounting the zoom magnification sensor to it may cause the
sensor to display incorrect values. To use it tilted, set up the zoom magnification sensor again.
·If the temperature increases or decreases by 25°C or more or the humidity increases or decreases by 30%
or more after the product is set up, the zoom magnification sensor value may not be obtained correctly.
Adjust the zoom magnification sensor again if necessary.
·On the AR image on the eyepiece side, the graphics and text that can be displayed on the AR image and
the black areas of the image are displayed transparent when they are displayed on the software.
·When using the SZX-ZB7 zoom microscope body in combination with the AS unit, or when using the
SZX2-ZB10 zoom microscope body or the SZX2-ZB16 zoom microscope body, if the aperture diaphragm is
stopped down, vignetting may occur.
·Do not use a microscope instrument that is not registered in the software. The incorrect dimension
information may be displayed.

tilting angle to the lowest point.
To lower the tilting angle, hold the eyepiece mount A
with one hand while holding the top surface of the ob-
servation tube with the other hand, and set the tilting
angle to the lowest point.

Lifetime
The lifetime of this system is approximately 5 years after purchase if the product is used properly according
to this instruction manual.
When using SZX2-ARTTR with the unit you are using, follow the lifetime of the unit you are using.
To clarify any of these points, contact the retailer where you purchased the system.
Cleaning of each unit
Lenses and filters
Be careful to avoid stains, fingerprints, and other impurities on the lenses and filters. If they get dirty, blow
away dust with a commercially available blower and gently wipe the lenses or filters with a piece of cleaning
paper (or washed clean gauze). Only when cleaning fingerprints and oil stains, slightly moisten a piece of
cleaning paper with commercially available absolute alcohol and wipe them off with it.
Since absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully. Be sure to keep it
away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks.
For example, the electrical equipment that is switched ON and OFF may cause the ignition of a
fire. Also, always use absolute alcohol only in a well-ventilated room.
Parts other than lenses
Wipe the parts other than lenses with a dry soft cloth. If dirt/dust cannot be removed by dry-wiping, moist-
en a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent and wipe off dirt/dust with it.
Do not use organic solvents because they may deteriorate the coated surface or plastic
parts.
