IMPORTANT
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. After the equipment has been used in an observation of a specimen that is accompanied with a potential of infection,
clean the parts coming in contact with the specimen to prevent infection.
· Moving this microscope is accompanied with the risk of dropping the specimen and causing infections. Be sure to
remove the specimen before moving this product.
· In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous operation, promptly take the infection prevention measures.
· The microscope may become unstable when certain intermediate attachments and/or photography unit are mounted
on it. Take the measures so that the microscope does not turn over .
2. To prevent the microscope body from turning over, its left-right pivot
angle must be limited to 30° as shown in Fig. 1. The tilt of the desktop
surface should be no more than 5°.
3. Sufficient care is required during observation with a low-magnification
objective, because the objective’s long WD (Working Distance) can dis-
place the microscope body to a higher position.
The measures for prevention of turning over are also required when us-
ing an auxiliary pillar (SZH-P400/P600), because this also makes the
microscope body to be displaced to a higher position.
4. To adjust the microscope body height, be sure to hold the microscope
body with one hand while loosening the focusing assembly clamping
knob @. (Fig. 1)
(Use the drop prevention collar (SZX-R) to prevent a hazard from occur-
ring.)
Be careful not to pinch your finger during the adjustment.
