Notes on Handling the Product
1. Handle with care.
The microscope is a precision optical instrument. Handle it carefully and do not subject it to
strong physical shocks and vibrations. The accuracy of the objective in particular may be
adversely affected by even a weak physical shock.
2. Weak electromagnetic waves
This product emits weak electromagnetic waves. So as to avoid degrading the performance of
precision electronic devices, do not install this product near such devices. If TV or radio reception
is affected, move the TV or radio further from this product.
3. Installation location and storage location
The product is a precision optical instrument. Use or storage of the product under inappropriate
conditions may result in malfunctions or loss of precision. The following conditions must be
considered for the installation location and the storage location.
• Install the product in a location with a temperature of 0 to +40ºC and a relative humidity of
60% or less (no condensation).
Store the product in a location with a temperature of -20 to +60ºC and a relative humidity of
90% or less (no condensation).
Use or storage of the product in a hot or humid location may result in molding of or
condensation on the lenses, loss of precision, and malfunctions.
• Install the product in a place with little dust and dirt.
When storing the product, place a cover over the product to protect it from dust.
• Install the product in a place with little vibration.
• Install and store the product on a level and sturdy table or stage that can bear the weight of
the product.
Install the product in a location with minimal exposure to hazards in the event of
earthquakes and other potential disasters. If necessary, secure the product to the working
desk or other heavy and stable items with a strong rope or other means, so as to prevent it
from falling.
• Install the product so that the power cord to the microscope can be unplugged immediately
from the AC inlet in case of an emergency.
• Avoid placing the product in direct sunlight or immediately under the room lights.
The image quality is degraded in a bright environment due to the extraneous light entering
the objective. A room light immediately above the microscope may also enter the objective
as extraneous light, especially when using a condenser lens with a longer working distance.
In this case, it is recommended that you turn off the room light above the microscope.
• Install the product at least 10 cm away from the surrounding walls.
• Do not install the product in a closed space such as a locker or a cabinet.
• Do not place items on the product.
