Getting Ready
1. A microscope is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to sudden or severe impacts.
2. Do not use the microscope where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, dust or vibrations. (For
the operating conditions, refer to chapter 8, “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 19.)
Avoid use in the following conditions.
1) Close to the air inlet or ventilator of an air conditioning unit.
2) Locations with strong vibrations and severe temperature fluctuations.
3) Close to equipment that generates excessive noise (including non-Olympus products).
4) Places exposed to direct sunlight.
5) Dusty places with high temperature and humidity.
6) Near flammable substances such as gasoline, thinner and alcohol.

Maintenance and Storage
1. To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirty away using a commercially available blower and wipe
gently using a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze).
If a lens is stained with fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe it gauze slightly moistened with commercially available absolute
alcohol.
Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully.
Be sure to keep it away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks –– for example, electrical
equipment that is being switched on or off.
Also remember to always use it only in a well-ventilated room.
2. Many parts of the exterior are made of plastic. Wipe the microscope with a clean cloth only. Do not use organic solvents
to clean non-optical components. If smudges are difficult to remove, wipe them with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a
diluted neutral detergent.
3. If no objectives are mounted, be sure to cover the objective mounting threaded holes on the revolving nosepiece to
prevent duet and dirt from getting on the lenses inside.
4. Never disassemble any part of the microscope. Doing so could cause malfunctions or reduced performance.
5. When not using the microscope, set the main switch to “ ” (OFF), wait until the lamp socket has cooled down, and keep
the microscope covered with a dust cover.
6. When disposing of the microscope, check the regulations and rules of your local government and be sure to observe
them.
