Getting

Ready

1.

A

microscope

is

a

precision

instrument.

Handle

it

with care

‘and

avoid

subjecting

it

to

sudden

or

severe

impact.

2.

Do

not

use

the

microscope

where

it

is

subjected

to

direct

sunlight, high

temperature

and

humidity,

dust

or

vibrations.

(For

operating

environment

conditions,

refer

to

and

adhere

to

the

conditions

specified

in

Section

6,

SPECIFICATIONS

on

page

16)

3.

The

tension

ofthe

coarse

focus

adjustment

knob

should

only

be

adjusted

by

means

of

the

tension

adjustment

ring,

4.

Heat

from

this

microscope

is

lod

away

by

natural

convection,

Consequenti,

do

not

use

itina

constricted

space

and

ensure

that

the

room

is

well

ventilated,

5.

When

moving

the

microscope,

carry

it

with

one

hand

under

the

base

D

and

the

other

hand

holding

at

the

recessed

handle

‘on

the

rear

of

the

arm

@

as

shown

in

the

illustration

on

the

left.

Handle

the

microscope

with care

when

moving

it

*

When

moving

the

microscope,

never

hold

the

stage

or

binocular

section

of

the

observation

tube,

etc.

Also

make

sure

that

eyepieces,

specimen,

etc.

do

not

falloff.

*

Sliding

the

microscope

on the

surface

of

the

table

may

Faz

damage

or

tear

off

the

rubber

feet

and/or

scratch

the

table

top

surface.

Maintenance

and

Storage

1.

Clean

all

glass

components

by

wiping

gently

with

gauze.

To

remove

fingerprints

or

oil

smudges,

wipe

with

gauze

slightly

moistened

with

a

mixture

of

ether

(70%)

and alcohol

(80%)

*

Do

not

use

a

mixture

of

ether

(70%)

and

alcohol

(30%)

to

clean

the

lower

lens

(made

of

optical

plastic)

of

the

eyepiece

(NCWHK10X)

because

such

solvents

cloud

the

lens.

If

dust

adheres

to

the lens,

blow

it

off

or

wipe

it

away

gently

with

a

dry

cloth.

‘Since

solvents

such

as

ether and

alcohol

are

highly

flammable,

they

must

be

handled

carefully.

Be

sure

to

keep

these

chemicals

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

these

chemicals

only

in

@

well-ventilated

room.

2.

Do

not

attempt

to

use

organic

solvents

to

clean

the

non-optical

components

of

the

microscope.

To

clean

these,

use

a

lint-free,

soft

cloth

lightly

moistened

with

a

diluted neutral

detergent.

2.

Do

not

disassemble

any

part

of

the

microscope

as

malfunction

or

damage

may

occur

4,

When

not

using

the

microscope,

keep

it

covered

with

the

provided

dust

cover.

Warning

Labels

Warning

labels

are

affixed

at

parts

where
