„ Attaching the stereo optical adapter
See also “3.5 Inspecting the scope” (page 39) for more information on attaching
stereo optical adapters.
1
Make sure that the O-ring in the scope distal end or in the optical
adapter is properly attached.
2
Attach the adapter so that there is no movement of the adapter
main body. Rotate the optical adapter in the direction of the arrow A
shown in the figure. Keep the adapter rotated completely and turn
the nut of the optical adapter in the direction of the arrow B shown
in the figure until it is tight.
CAUTION
• Tools or excessive hand force should not be used to secure the tip adapter to the distal end.
• Whether or not the adapter rattles or is loose when it is attached, if it is not firmly attached by
rotating in the direction of arrow A completely, the measurement accuracy deteriorates.
• After installation of the optical adapter, if the distal end of the scope is handled by grasping
the optical adapter, it may turn in the opposite direction of arrow A in the figure even when
the nut is tightened securely. This could result in lowered measurement accuracy. When
handling the distal end of the scope, do not hold it by the optical adapter, always grasp the
scope. However, do not hold it by the angulation section.
• When the distal end of the scope is subjected to a large extraneous force or vibration, the
optical adapter installation may be jolted, loosened or turned. Even if you leave the optical
adapter attached to the scope, always check the installation condition before inserting the
scope into the subject.
• Dirt on the surface of the lens of the adapter affects the measurement accuracy. Check
captured images to confirm that there is no dirt before using the adapter in an actual
measurement.
