3.0 Operation

 

 
Once the microscope has been setup in its working location with all of the components 
correctly installed, it is ready for use. 
 
Your MC microscope is a precision instrument designed to last a lifetime. Always handle 
your microscope with care and avoid abrupt motion, vibration and shock.  
 
Do not install any bulb in your instrument other than ones designated by Meiji Techno: 
 

FL150/70

 

21V 150W Halogen

 

For Fiber Optic Illuminator FL150 or FT190 Series

 

 
 
 

  

Avoid Dismantling

 

 
Never attempt to dismantle the instrument. This will void your warranty and could 
possibly lead to the instrument no longer performing accurately.
