IMPORTANT
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Always use the power cord provided by Olympus.
2. Always ground the SZX2-RHS Hand Switch.
3. The SZX2-RHS Hand Switch incorporates high-voltage parts inside. Do not open the cover of this unit to prevent electric
shock.
4. Do not connect the SZX2-RHS Hand Switch for LED Four-Part Ring Illuminator to any devices other than the SZX2-ILR66
LED Four Part Ring Illuminator.
Notes on the LED (Light Emitting Diode) Safety
The LED built into the SZX2-ILR66 LED Four-Part Ring Illuminator is basically safe but it is discommended to stare at the
light from the LED Four-Part Ring Illuminator for a long period as this could damage your eye.
Safety Symbols
The following symbols are found on the SZX2-RHS Hand Switch. Study the meaning of the symbols, and always use the
equipment in the safest possible manner.
Symbol Explanation
Before use, carefully read the instruction manual.
Improper use could result in personal injury to the user and/or damage to the equipment.
Indicates that the main switch is ON.
Indicates that the main switch is OFF.

LED FOUR-PART RING ILLUMINATOR SYSTEM
1Getting Ready
1. The LED Four-Part Ring Illuminator System is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to sudden
or severe impact.
2. Do not use the LED Four-Part Ring Illuminator System where it may be subjected to direct sunlight, high temperatures and
humidity, dust or vibrations (for the operating environment, see Chapter 5, “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 17).
3. Applicable microscopes are as follows.
SZX16
SZX10/7: Use the SZX-LGR66 adapter.
SZ61/51 series: Use the SZ-LGR66 adapter.
MVX10: Use the SZX-LGR66 adapter.
STM6 series Use the SZX-LGR66 adapter.
4. The full illumination performance cannot be manifested when an optional auxiliary objective for the SZ61/51 series or a
low-power objective for the SZX16/10 is used (see pages 13,14 for details).
5. Take the following care when using the STM6 series because measurement accuracy is affected even by slight heat
generation of the LED.
If he intensity of the illumination is expected to be changed widely (minimum maximum) when the measurement is
going to take long, keep the illumination in the maximum condition for about an hour before using the system.
6. Variance in phase may be produced due to variance of individual LEDs.

2Maintenance and Storage
1. Clean the lens components by blowing dirt away with a commercially available blower and then wiping lightly with a
piece of cleaning paper (or freshly washed clean gauze). To remove fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe with cleaning paper
slightly moistened with commercially available absolute alcohol.
Since the 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, electrical equipment that is being switched on or
off. Also remember to always use it only in a well-ventilated room.
2. Do not use organic solvents to clean the non-lens components. If smudges are difficult to clean, wipe them with a soft
cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. Never disassemble any part of the system as this could cause malfunctions or reduced performance.
4. When disposing of this system, be sure to follow your local regulations or ordinances.
3Caution
If the system equipment is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be imperiled. In
addition, the equipment may also be damaged. Always use the equipment as outlined in the instruction manual.
The following symbols are used to set off text in this instruction manual.
: 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 the equipment.
}: Indicates commentary (for ease of operation and maintenance).

ASSEMBLY
1Attaching the LED Four-Part Illuminator SZX2-ILR66
}An adapter is required for mounting on a microscope other than the SZX16.
}Attach the SZX2-ILR66 illuminator so that the cable comes on the rear part.
Otherwise, the actual illuminating parts of the SZX2-ILR66 will not match
the illuminating parts selected with the illuminating part select buttons of
the SZX2-RHS hand switch.
Fig. 1
Mounting on SZX16 (Fig. 1)
