1 Getting Ready
1. This manual pertains only to the handling of the total internal reflection fluorescence illumination system. Please also
read the instruction manuals for the IX2 series (IX series) microscope and associated options to understand the
comprehensive operating instructions of the microscope system.
2. The total internal reflection fluorescence illumination system is composed of precision instruments. Handle it with care
and avoid subjecting it to sudden or severe impact.
3. Do not use the system where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, dust or vibrations.
4. Reserves spaces of 10 cm or more around the lamp housing and power supply to facilitate their ventilation.
2 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. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the non-optical components. To clean them, use a lint-free, soft cloth
slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. Never attempt to disassemble any part of the system, for this may degrade the performance and the laser beam output.
