6. Restrictions in TV observation

@The following combinations are not permitted in consideration of the optical performance.
· IX2-SPT + PE4X + U-PMTVC on the side port

· IX2-SPT + PE5X + U-PMTV1X on the side port (With the IX71, this is applicable only when the magnification changer is

set to 1X.)

· U-TV0.35XC + 2X magnification changer (optional)
· U-TV0.35XC + DP50 (optional 2X magnification changer on the side port)
²The following combination may deteriorate the optical performance a little.
· U-TV0.35XC + DP50 (UPlanSApo/UPlanApo4X or 10X on the side port) (With the IX71, this is applicable only when the

magnification changer is set to 1X.)

7. Restrictions in fluorescence observation

· With combination of IX2-SHA + U-FWR (x 2) + U-LH100HGAPO, objectives UPlanSApo/UPlanApo40X, UPlanFLN/

UPlanFl20X, UPlanFLN100XO/100XOI, UPlanFl100XO3, PlanAPoN60XO and PlanApo60XO3 cannot be used due to a
problem in the optical performance. (This also applies to objectives other than Series 3 objectives.)

8. Other

· The U-TRU or U-TVCAC cannot be mounted on the side port.
· When a large module is attached to the U-TR30H straight photo tube, it will be difficult to confirm the specimen.
· Only either the lower back port or left side port can be used.

Maintenance and Storage

1. To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirty away using a commercially available blower and

wipe gently using a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze).
If a lens is stained with fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe it gauze slightly moistened with commercially available absolute
alcohol.
Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully.
Be sure to keep it 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 it only in a well-ventilated room.

2. Be sure to clean the oil immersion objective after use. Leaving immersion oil on it will degrades its performance.
3. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the non-optical components of microscope. To clean them, use a lint-free,

soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.

4. Never attempt to disassemble any part of the microscope.
5. When not using the microscope, make sure to set the main switch to “ ” (OFF), confirm that the lamp housing is cool

enough and cover the microscope with the provided dust cover.

If the microscope is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be imperiled. In addition,
