6. Notes on Handling the Product
1.
Handle the product carefully.
The product is a precision optical instrument. Handle the product with care to avoid a physical
shock or an impact. Optical-fiber cables, in particular, must not be bent or pulled with
excessive force, to prevent failure, malfunction, or wires from breaking.
2. Notes on handling optical parts
Scratches or dirt such as fingerprints on an optical component (such as a lenses or a filter)
will degrade microscope images. Carefully use the optical parts. Do not damage them. If any
part becomes dirty, clean it according to the manuals for respective units.
3. Installation location
To ensure safe and reliable operations, check the following conditions when installing this
product:
• To prevent the product from falling and to avoid eventual failure, install each component of
the product on a level surface.
• Install the product in a clean place with little dust and dirt. Dust or dirt degrades system
performance significantly.
• Use this product at ambient temperatures of b5 and +35°C and in conditions of
humidity of 60% or less (no condensation). Using the product in hot or humid conditions
may result in condensation or malfunction.
• Make sure that the product is not subject to strong vibrations, which may degrade image
quality. Consult with Nikon representatives about preventive measures you may take when
the product is installed.
• To prevent degradation, malfunction, or failure of the laser and the PC, always use power
supply that is free from electric noise or sudden voltage fluctuations.
• To prevent failure, do not block or place any obstacles near the cooling fans of the
controller and the laser. When the product is installed near a wall, be sure to provide a
clearance of 15 cm or more between the wall and the product.
• Install the product at a place where all the power cables can be pulled out easily in an
emergency.
4. Cleaning
Use a dry and soft cloth to clean painted, plastic, and printed parts. If necessary, wipe these
parts with a cloth moistened with diluted neutral detergent, then wipe off the moisture with a
soft and dry cloth. To prevent discoloration or deformation of painted or plastic parts or
removal of the printed letters/figures, do not use organic solvents such as paint thinner or
alcohol.
5. Other categories
