IMPORTANT
The SZ2 series of stereo microscopes are provided with ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protection specifications. They are
provided with electroconductive coating in their external finish to reduce the surface resistance and grounding lead wires in
their standard base or frame to eliminate static electricity from them.
CAUTION To maintain the ESD protection performance, always use the microscope in combination with the
modules described in this manual or options having the ESD protection specifications. Otherwise,
the grounding will not work properly.
· The eye shades of the eyepieces are not provided with the ESD protection performance. Be sure to
remove them.
· The SZ2-SPBW stage plate is provided with the ESD protection performance only in the black surface.
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. Be sure to remove the specimen before moving
this product.
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 the operating conditions, see “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 12.)
3. Be careful not to leave stains and fingerprints on the lens surfaces.
Contamination of the lens and mirror deteriorates the view of images.
4. Do not turn the left and right zoom adjustment knobs in the opposite directions, as this will result in a failure.
5. The rubber parts of the eyepiece sleeves are fragile and should be handled carefully. If they are damaged, dirt will
penetrate inside the microscope.
