1. A microscope is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid
subjecting it to sudden or severe impact.
2. Do not use the microscope where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high
temperature and humidity, dust or vibrations. (For the operating condi-
tions, refer to section 6, “SPECIFICATIONS”.)
3. When moving the microscope, remove the specimen and modules that
may drop during transport and carefully carry it with the grasping part
on the rear of the arm and the base as shown in Fig. 3 (Weight: approx.

# Damage to the microscope will occur if you grasp it by the stage,
coarse/fine adjustment knob or binocular section of the observa-
tion tube.
