1 OLYMPUS CIX100 Cleanliness Inspector System
The OLYMPUS CIX100 Cleanliness Inspector System is a complete system
that performs fully automated optical cleanliness analyses on filters. Optical
cleanliness analysis is a method for determining the pollution degree of
components. The cleanliness analysis quantifies and analyzes the particles
in a sample. The system uses standardized methods of analysis to perform
classifications in accordance with international standards. The system is
comprised of a microscope system, a computer, a monitor and specially
developed software.
1.1 Correct use of the system
The OLYMPUS CIX100 Cleanliness Inspector System is designed
exclusively for performing microscopic cleanliness analyses on circular
filters.
Undesignated use can result in injury or damage to property. Olympus Soft
Imaging Solutions GmbH takes no responsibility for damaged caused by
undesignated use.

2.5 Avoiding device damage
Attention Device damage through manual operation of the stage
The stage can be damaged by manual operation.
Use the joystick to move the stage or to change its height.
Attention Device damage through overloading the stage
Overloading the stage can hinder the movement of the stage or damage the
microscope.
For the inspection, only use membrane filters that are mounted in the filter
holder.
Attention Device damage from oversize or unsuitable samples
Samples that aren’t clamped on the filter holder or that exceed the
maximum permitted height can damage the lenses or the stage.
For the analysis, only use membrane filters that are mounted in the filter
holder.
Make sure that the height of the sample doesn't impair the movement of the
objective.

2.6 Notes on placement
• The weight of the microscope system is approx. 18 kg. Consider this
weight when selecting the work surface and method for lifting the
microscope system.
• Place the microscope system on a sturdy level table or bench, taking care
not to block the ventilation slots on the underside of the frame.
• When setting up the microscope system, ensure that there is a minimum
distance of 10 cm from the wall and other devices.
Figure 1
2.7 Notes on using the system with networks
If the computer that the software is installed on is part of a network
environment, note the following points.
• Make sure that the network has appropriate virus protection.
• The installation of operating system service packs, security patches or
third party software updates (including runtime libraries) can cause
software malfunctions.
• If anti-virus software is run while you are acquiring images, it can lead to
the loss of individual acquisitions. It can also slow down the acquisition
process or even cause it to be aborted altogether.
Attention Device damage through improper lifting of the microscope system.
The microscope system may be damaged if you lift it by an unsuitable
component, the stage for example. Furthermore, the calibrations can
become invalid.
When transporting the microscope system, hold it carefully by the grip on
the arm (see figure 1).

20System Setup Guide
5 Switching on the system
1. Switch on the microscope.
2. First switch on the monitor, then the computer.
5.1 Inserting hardware components
1. Move the stage right to the front, so that you can easily access the
multi-sample holder’s insertion area.
2. Make sure not to scratch the objectives when you insert the multi-
sample holder.
3. There is a spring in the bottom left of the multi-sample holder’s insertion
area. First place the multi-sample holder at the bottom left corner and
then insert it.
The multi-sample holder should not wobble when it is correctly
inserted.
4. Place the particle standard device in position 2 of the multi-sample
holder.
5. Place the filter holder with the sample in position 1 of the multi-sample
holder.
6. Use the joystick to move the stage back again.
7. Use the coarse adjustment knob on the microscope system to move
the stage to its return position. The return position corresponds to the
coarse adjustment knob’s top end position.
8. Set the brightness of the LED illumination to maximum. To do this,
rotate the brightness control knob at the front of the microscope frame
clockwise.
Caution Pinching hazard
When the stage moves, gaps appear. This creates a pinching hazard.
Make sure that you are not within the stage’s range of movement when it is
moving.
Try never to put your hands or fingers into any gaps.
Attention Damage to the objective
Make sure that the objectives don't hit the sample.
