II. Microscopy
19
The TE2000 series is the system microscopes that can be flexibly configured to meet specific applications. There are three
main body types, two types of dia-illuminators, four types of eyepiece tubes, and various other parts variations. The
following section describes the basic microscopy procedure based on three standard system configurations.
•
Refer to "III. Operation of each part" for details on each operation.
•
If your microscope is configured differently from the system described in the manual, refer to the applicable
explanations in "III. Operation of each part."
•
If your microscope is not pre-assembled, see "IV. Assembly" first.
•
If your microscope is mounted with the epi-fl, DIC, or other attachments, refer to the instruction manuals supplied with
the respective attachments.

Supplementary information
When conducting bright-field or phase-contrast microscopy with a microscope system consisting of the TE2000-E,
dia-illuminator 100W, system condenser, and T-TD eyepiece tube D, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the
T-HUBC HUB controller since it provides detailed information.
Before using the instrument, read the "WARNING," "CAUTION," and "Notes on handling the microscope" sections at
the beginning of this manual and be sure to follow the instructions therein.
Also refer to the instruction manuals supplied with other products (such as the epi-fl and DIC attachments) used in
combination with the microscope, and follow the instructions written.
