CX-DO
This unit employs a UIS (universal infinity system) optical design, and should only be
used with the CX40 microscope frame and UIS eyepieces, objectives, condensers,
etc. Less than optimum performance may result if inappropriate accessories are used.
I, This manual pertains only to the CX-DO. Before using this attachment with the microscope, also thoroughly review
the instruction manual for the CX40 microscope frame.
2. To avoid potential shock hazard, always turn the main switch on the transformer (TDO) to OFF and disconnect the
power cord before replacing the pointer illumination bulb.
3. Never connect the pointer illumination cord plug to other units than the TDO transformer.
4. When replacing the pointer illumination bulb, be sure to use only the designated tungsten bulb.

1. Clean all glass components by wiping gently with gauze. To remove fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe with gauze
slightly moistened with xylene or a mixture of ether (70%) and alcohol (30%).
A Since both ether and alcohol are highly flammable, be careful to keep these chemicals away from open
fire and potential sources of electrical sparks, such as when the main switch is turned ON.
2. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the non-optical components of this attachment. To clean these,
use a lint-free, soft cloth lightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. Do not disassemble any part of the dual-viewing attachment as this could result in malfunctions or reduced
performance.
4. When not using the dual-viewing attachment, keep it covered with the provided dust cover.
If the dual-viewing attachment is used in a manner not specified in this manual, the safety of the user may be
imperiled. In addition, the equipment may also be damaged. Always operate the equipment as outlined
instruction manual.
The following symbols are used to set off text in this instruction manual.
A : Indicates that failure to follow the instructions in the warning could result in bodily
harm to the user and/or damage to equipment (including objects in the vicinity of the
equipment).
* : Indicates that failure to follow the instructions could result in damage to equipment.
Q : Indicates commentary (for ease of operation and maintenance).

1. Using the Alien screwdriver @ provided with the microscope frame,
loosen the observation tube clamping screw.
2. Insert the circular dovetail mount at the bottom of the duel-viewing
body @ into the opening on the microscope frame, positioning the
duel-viewing body approximately parallel with the arm. Clamp the duel-
viewing body by tightening the clamping screw.
A When mounting and detaching, hold the duel-viewing body
securely to prevent it from toppling or falling off.
A Always attach the duel-viewing body as shown in Fig. 1. If the
duel-viewing body is mounted with the rear section facing
forward or to either side, it may topple.
@When mounted as shown in Fig. 1, image orientation is identical for
both the main and secondary observer.

Mount an observation tube at the position of both the main and
secondary observer.
1. Using the Allen screwdriver (TJ,loosen the observation tube clamping
screw on the dual-viewing body.
2. Insert the circular dovetail mount at the bottom of the observation
tube @ into the opening on the dual-viewing body, positioning the
observation tube to point the binocular eyepieces toward the front.
Clamp the observation tube by tightening the clamping screw.
The eyepieces are mounted in the same manner as in the case of the
microscope itself. However, since the right eyepiece of both the main
and secondary observer is used for pointer focusing, the eyepiece
mounted in the right eyepiece sleeve should either be a helicoid
eyepiece or one with diopter adjustment.
Q For details, refer to “Features” at the beginning of this instruction
manual.

1. Loosen the lamp socket clamping knob (iJ and remove the lamp socket.
(Fig. 4)
2. Screw the designated tungsten bulb (6VlOWGE) into the lamp socket.
(Fig. 5)
3. Insert the lamp socket into the socket holder and clamp by tightening
the clamping knob.
t Do not touch the bulb with bare hands. Hold the bulb with
gloves or a piece of gauze. If fingerprints or smudges are
accidentally left on the bulb, wipe the bulb with a soft cloth.
+ Use only the designated bulb type for replacement, i.e.,
GVIOWGE (mfd. by Hosobuchi Denkyuu).
A Precautions for Bulb Replacement
The bulb and the lamp socket will be hot during use and right
after use.
Turn the main switch on the transformer to OFF and disconnect
the power cord from the wall outlet. Then allow the old bulb
and lamp socket to cool before replacing the bulb with a new
of the designated type.

1. Turn the transformer’s voltage selector knob (main switch) to the “M”
position to turn ON the pointer light.
2. If the pointer is not visible in the field of view, bring it to the center
of the field of view by manipulating the pointer control joystick 0.
3. Turn the helicoid @ on the right eyepiece until the pointer is in focus.
4. Turn the helicoid @ on the left eyepiece until the pointer is in focus.
5. Turn the focus adjustment knobs on the microscope frame to bring
the specimen into focus.

Symbol Application
H Used when the field of view is bright.
M Used for normal brightfield observation.
L Used when the field of view is dark (darkfield observation, etc.)
The color of the pointer can be changed to make it easily distinguishable
from the colors of the specimen. Push in the filter slider @ to select
green; pull it out to select orange.
The main observer can move the pointer to any desired location within
the field of view by manipulating ttie pointer control joystick (iJ at the
front. The secondary observer can do the same by manipulating his/
her pointer control joystick 0.
Q When use of the pointer is not required, move it outside the field of
view by manipulating either of the control joysticks.

In general, the procedure for photomicrography is the same as usual. This section describes special considerations
that apply when taking photographs with the dual-viewing attachment CX-DO mounted.
1. Using the trinocular observation tube mounted on top of the microscope, you can take photographs that include the
pointer.
0 When you use Olympus trinocular observation tubes, photo eyepieces, and photomicrographic equipment, the pointer
arrow is always focused on the film plane.
2. The brightness of the pointer is set to be brighter than the specimen to ensure adequate contrast. This has the
following effects on photographs that are not apparent during visual observation.
@ Since the pointer is always overexposed when exposure is correct for the specimen, the pointer color will bleach to
white in color photographs.
@When taking photographs with photomicrographic equipment with automatic exposure control, the brightness of the
pointer will cause the specimen to be underexposed. In such cases, set the photomicrographic equipment’s
compensation to the OVER position in accordance with the specimen distribution.
@ Since the effect of the pointer is particularly noticeable when making long exposures of dark specimens, check the
exposure time with the pointer illumination turned off, then make the exposure manually after turning the pointer
illumination on again.
3. Photomicrography is performed at the main observer’s position.

* During photomicrography, be sure to cap the eyepiece section @
at the secondary observer‘s position with the provided. light
excluding cap 0. (Fig. 13)
