Olympus SZ4045TR User manual

(1) As the microscope is a piece of precision equipment, always handle with care, avoiding abrupt
movement or impact during transportation or Operation of controls.
(2) Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, dust and Vibration.
(3) Avoid leaving dir-t or fingerprints on the lens surfaces, as a dirty mirror or lenses may reduce
image clarity.
(4) When using photomicrographic equipment or a large-size Video Camera, mount the microscope
body at an angle of less than 3” from the perpendicular in Order to assure microscope stability.
(5) Use a compact Video Camera, dedicated for C-mount, with a picture area of 2/3” or smaller and
weighing 2.5 kg or less.
(6) Be sure to hold the Camera with one hand when unloading film from a large-format Camera in
Order to prevent it from falling over.
(7) Never turn the right and left zoom control knobs in opposite directions, as malfunction may
result.
(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 130%).
A 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 a weil-ventilated room.
(2) DO not use organic solutions to wipe the surfaces of other components. Plastic Parts especially,
should be cleaned with a neutral detergent.
(3) Never attempt to disassemble the microscope as decreased Performance may result.
(4) When not in use, be sure to cover the microscope with the dust cover provided, and store in
an area free from moisture to prevent rust.

(1) Usually, the Stage plates are used with the frosted white side facing
the objective. However, if the specimen is white or brightly colored, use
the black side of the plate as the darkened background increases image
contrast.
(2) To remove the Stage plates, press down the supporting end of the plate
with a fingertip, and the other end will flip up. (Fig. 1)
(1) Turn one focusing knob with the other focusing knob tightened, by
holding both knobs, in Order to increase or decrease the rotation tension,
depending on the turning direction. (Fig. 2)
(2) This adjustment is intended to prevent the microscope body from drifting.
Set the knob tension at a level slightly stiffer than that to insure no
unintentional movement and facilitate easy Operation.
q
(1) Place the specimen in the Center of the Stage plate, and hold the specimen
with the Stage Clips if necessary.
(2) Illuminate the specimen using an optional illuminator.
For SZ4045TR
(1) Minimize the magnification power by turning the zoom control knobs.
(2) Looking through the right eyepiece, bring the specimen into focus by
turning the focusing knobs.
(3) Looking through the left eyepiece, bring the specimen into focus by
turning the diopter adjustment ring. (Fig. 3)
(4) Maximize the magnification power by turning the zoom control knobs,
and bring the specimen into focus by turning the focusing knobs.
For SZ6045TR and SZ1145TR
(1) Maximize the magnification power by turning the zoom control knobs.
(2) Looking through the right eyepiece, bring the specimen into focus by
turning the focusing knobs.
(3) Minimize the magnification power by turning the zoom control knobs.
(Fig. 3)
(4) If the specimen goes out of focus, read just the focus by turning the right
diopter adjustment ring only. (Fig. 4)
(5) Maximize the magnification power again by turning the zoom control
knobs. If the specimen goes out of focus, repeat Steps (2) through (4)
above. This allows more precise diopter adjustment.
(6) Minimize the magnification power by turning the zoom control knobs
and, looking through the left eyepiece, bring the specimen into focus by
turning the left diopter adjustment ring only. (Fig. 4)

(1) For those who do not wear eyeglasses
The observer tan keep his eyes closer to the eyepiece shields during hold
the diopter adjustment rings so that they tan not rotate, and align the
direction of the eyepiece shields to the observer’s face by turning the
eyepieces.
(2) For those who wear eyeglasses
Fold back the eyepiece shields with both hands as shown in Fig. 6.
(1) Twist and remove the mounting rings from the eyepiece. (Fig. 7)
(2) Remove dirt or dust from the eyepiece micrometer, and mount it to the
mounting ring by turning the ring clockwise with the inscription side
facing downward. (Fig. 7)
(3) Gently screw the mounting ring containing the eyepiece micrometer into
the eyepiece and tighten securely. (Fig. 7)
(4) To remove the eyepiece micrometer, twist the mounting ring. Wrap the
micrometer in clean, soft Paper for storage.
+ The e24-mm eyepiece micrometer tan also be mounted on the
GSWH15X, However, since the eyepiece’s field number is 16, the
micrometer graduations and grids beyond 16 mm are not visible.
q
:
(1) Screw the conversion lens into the mounting thread at the bottom of the
microscope body.
(2) As the working distance of the 0.5X conversion lens (llOAL0.5X and
lCOAL0.5X) is long, use the extension tube (VM-ET) when making
observations using the stand. (Fig. 8)
+ Please note that three types of conversion lenses are available-
one for the SZ4045 one for the SZ6045TR and the other for the
SZ1 145TR.
Ir 73AL0.5X doesn’t require extension tube.

(4) Looking through the viewer of the photomicrographic equipment. bring
the double Cross lines into focus by turning the diopter adjustment ring
@ (Fig. 12) of the viewer. Adjust until both Cross lines are clearly dis-
tinguishable from each other. (Fig. 13)
(5) Turn the focusing knobs until both Cross lines and the specimen are
sharply in focus.
* As focusing at a low magnification power requires a special skill, the
use of the FT focusing telecope (optional) is recommended.
Ir Should a bright lighting fixture be mounted to the ceiling of the room
where photomicrography is conducted, cover the binocular observa-
tion tubes to prevent light from entering the binocular tubes.
(1) Slide the light path selector lever Q) to the IN Position in Order to
set the light path to Video. (Fig. 14)
(2) Maximize the zoom magnification power and adjust the focus by
turning the focusing knobs while viewing the Video monitor.
(3) Minimize the zoom magnification power, and adjust the focus by
turning the tube length adjustment ring @ of the Video adapter.
(4) Maximize the zoom magnification power again, and check to see if
the image goes out of focus. If the image does go out of focus,
repeat Steps (2) and (3) above until focus is maintained even when
zoomed.
Sr After focusing the binocular tube beforehand in accordance
with the procedure listed in section q on page 4, focus
deviation due to zooming will be virtually eliminated simply
by selecting the Video light path, minimizing the zoom magni-
fication power and focusing with the tube length adjustment
ring.
+ For further details regarding photomicrographic procedures, refer to the instruction manual for the photomicro-
graphic equipment in use.
Sr The photomicrographic range in relation to the binocular tube’s Observation range (35 mm film diagonal line length
in relation to the diameter of IOx eyepiece field of view) is as shown below.

“For the SZ1 145TR, multipry the above figures by 1.4.
l Although photomicrography is possible over a wide range, the field of view may go slightly out of focus at the
penphery. If Photos perfectly focused up to the periphery are needed, use Photo eyepieces with 3.3~ or higher
magnificatron powers.
* As Vibration may adversely affect photomicrographic results, photomicrography should be conducted in a place
subject to minimal Vibration. Be sure to check that no Vibration occurs and the image is free from wavering through
the viewer before releasing the shutter.
