10. Cautions on carrying the microscope (continued)
Before carrying the microscope, always remove the following protruding devices.
- Camera
- TI-BPU back port unit
- Epi-fluorescence attachment (TI2-LA-BM, TI2-LA-BF, TI2-LA-BS)
•
Before carrying the microscope, remove detachable cables, and secure moving parts.
- Be sure to clamp the pillar for dia-illumination.
- Do not place any object on the stage.
- Firmly secure or remove the stage.
•
While carrying the microscope, do not touch the focus knobs or switches, and do not hold any
movable parts such as the tube, the stage, and the pillar for dia illumination. Doing so may
cause the microscope to fall or malfunction. Be sure to hold the specified positions when carry-
ing the main body. When carrying only the microscope main body (base) with all the devices
removed, firmly hold the microscope by gripping the front bottom and rear recesses of the main
body.
11. Cautions on assembly and replacement
Take care not to pinch your fingers or hands in a joint or under a movable part.
Scratches and dirt (such as fingerprints) on optical components such as lenses, filters, and filter
cubes will degrade the microscope image. Take care not to scratch these optical components or
touch them directly during your work.
12. Cautions on laying cables
The lamphouse becomes very hot while the halogen lamp is lit. Cables must be laid so that they
will not contact the lamphouse.
