Turn

off

the

power

when

connecting

or

disconnecting

cables

or

when

replacing

the

lamp

In

order

to

prevent

electric

shock

and

damage

to

the

equipment,

always

turn

the

power

switch

on

the

power

supply

off

(flip

it

to

the

“

”

side)

and

unplug

the

power

cord

before

connecting

or

disconnecting

cables

or

replacing

the

lamp.

3.

Cautions

when

replacing

the

lamp

In

order

to

prevent

bums,

allow

the

lamp

to

cool

(for

at

least

thirty

minutes

after

turning

off

the

power)

before

replacing

the

lamp.

Furthermore,

in

order

to

prevent

electric

shock

and

damage

to

the

equipment,

always

turn

the

power

switch

on

the

power

supply

off

(flip

it

to

the

~

”

side)

and

unplug

the

power

cord

before

replacing

the

lamp.

After

replacing

the

lamp,

make

sure

that

the

lamphouse

cover

is

securely

closed.

Never

use

the

lamphouse

while

its

cover

is

open.

4.

Do

not

wet

If

the

microscope

or

the

power

supply

becomes

wet,

a

short

circuit

may

result

and

the

equipment

could

be

damaged

or

could

become

extremely

hot.

If

you

accidentally

spill

a

liquid

on

the

equipment,

immediately

turn

the

power

sw

itch

on

the

power

supply

off

(flip

it

to

the

“

”

side)

and

unplug

the

power

cord.

Then

use

a

dry'

cloth

to

wipe

away

the

moisture.

If

any

liquid

gets

inside

of

the

equipment,

do

not

attempt

to

use

it;

instead,

contact

your

nearest

Nikon

representative.

5.

Weak

electromagnetic

waves

This

microscope

emits

weak

electromagnetic

waves.

The

accuracy

of

any

precision

electronic

equipment

may

be

adversely

affected

if

positioned

near

this

microscope.

If

this

microscope

affects

TV

or

radio

reception,

move

the

radio

or

TV

away

from

the

microscope.

6.

Cautions

concerning

installation

Be

careful

not

to

pinch

your

hands

or

fingers

when

installing

the

microscope.

This

microscope

is

a

precision

optical

instrument,

and

using

or

storing

it

under

unsuitable

conditions

may

damage

it

or

may

have

an

adverse

affect

on

its

precision.

See

“Installation

Location"

on

P.27,

and

use

this

microscope

in

a

suitable

environment.

7.

Notes

on

transport

Because

this

microscope

is

a

precision

optical

device,

handle

it

carefully

and

do

not

subject

it

to

strong

physical

shocks.

(The

precision

of

the

objective

in

particular

may

be

adversely

affected

by

even

weak

physical

shocks.)

When

moving

the

microscope,

first

detach

the

lamphouse.

Then

have

at

least

two

people

carry

the

microscope,

at

least

one

on

each

side,

using

the

carrying

handles.

Be

sure

to

screw

the

carrying

handles

in

as

far

as

they

will

go

and

make

sure

that

they

are

secure.

If

the

carrying

handles

are

not

attached

securely,

they

could

come

out

or

break

while

the

microscope

is

being

carried,

creating

a

hazardous

situation.

Screw

the

carrying

hadles

into

the

upper

holes

on

the

rear

of

the

microscope.

If

you

use

the

lower

holes,

your

hands

will

be

caught

between

the

handles

and

the

table

when

you

place

the

microscope

down.

(P.27)

In

addition,

do

not

grasp

the

coarse

focus

knob,

the

fine

focus

knob,

the

eyepiece

tube,

the

stage,

etc.,

when

carrying

the

microscope;

there

is

a

chance

that

the

part

could

come

off,

and

the

equipment

could

be

damaged.

Operation

of

Each

Part

Coarse

focus

stopper

The

coarse

focus

stopper

marks

the

stage

position

at

which

the

specimen

is

in

focus

by

restricting

the

movement

of

the

coarse

focus

knob.

(Movement

of

the

stage

by

the

fine

focus

knob

is

not

restricted.)

Once

the

coarse

focus

stopper

is

clamped

in

place,

the

coarse

focus

knob

cannot

be

used

to

move

the

stage

any

higher.

In

effect,

once

the

coarse

focus

knob

is

clamped

in

place

at

the

focus

position,

a

rough

focus

can

be

attained

the

next

time

simply

by

turning

the

coarse

focus

knob

as

far

as

it

will

go.

This

feature

is

convenient

when

viewing

similar

specimens

one

after

another.

If

the

coarse

focus

stopper

is

not

being

used,

the

coarse

focus

stopper

ring

should

be

loosened

as

far

as

it

will

go

(by

turning

it

as

far

as

it

will

go

in

the

direction

opposite

to

that

indicated

by

the

arrow

on

the

base

of

the

microscope.)

I

Using

the

coarse

focus

stopper

With

the

specimen

in

focus,

turn

the

coarse

focus

stopper

ring

as

far

as

it

will

go

in

the

direction

indicated

by

the

arrow

on

the

base

of

the

microscope

(about

270°).

The

coarse

focus

stopper

is

now

clamped

in

place.

When

changing

the

specimen,

lower

the

stage

by

turning

only

the

coarse

focus

knob.

After

changing

the

specimen,

gently

raise

the

stage

by

turning

only

the

coarse

focus

knob

as

far

as

it

will

go.

The

specimen

should

be

roughly

in

focus

when

the

stage

has

been

raised

as

far

as

it

will

go;

use

the

fine

focus

knob

to

bring

the

specimen

into

perfect

focus.
