OLYMPUS UNIVERSAL MICROSCOPE
MODEL VANOX
REPAIR MANUAL
OLYMPUS

TO OLYMPUS MICROSCOPE SERVICING PERSONNEL
Model VANOX (AH) is designed as aversatile research microscope equipped with various accessories.
This repair manual describes repairing procedures in principle
for its standard configuration as abiological
microscope.
The focusing mechanism of the microscope is largely different from that of BH or BH2 since the former
must assure robbustness, durability and accuracy compatible with heavy accessories to be attached to it.
Therefore, the focusing mechanism can rarely be troubled in practical use. After it has been used for a
long
time, however, it will require lubrication and repair to protect it from dust, humidity, etc.
The special tools listed in this manual must be employed for disassembling the instrument; otherwise it
may not be disassembled or parts may be damaged.
The observation tube is equipped with aconstant tube length adjustment (to automatically compensate for
variation of interpupillary distance between binocular tubes) and must be adjusted elaborately as described
in this manual
after disassembly of the prism. Do not attempt disassembly of the prism when the special
tools for adjustment are not available at the site.
In
the diescriptions contained in this manual, "right" and "left" are defined in the direction as seen by the
microscopist sitting in the observing position through the microscope, unless other wise specified.
For cleaning lenses, a
liquid mixture of alcohol (3) and ether (7) should be used. For details, reference
should
be made to "How to Clean the Microscope" which is available upon separate request.
Requisites
for repairs:
1.
First of all, ascertain what parts of the microscope the user or owner of which wishes you to repair.
2. Never fail
to check the entire function of the microscope before you commence its repair.
a) Find out what parts are defective and how much they are damaged.
b)
Prior to repair, think of the best possible order of disassembling the defective parts in amost
efficient way.
3.
After completing the repair, check the functions of not only the re-assembled parts but also the entire
microscope
to make sure no defect should be left unremedied.
4.
Be careful not to deform repair parts during the assembly; make it practice to use tools and jigs
specified
for purpose.
5. Make repairs
promptly and accu rately.
