Attaching the stereo optical adapter
See also “Pre-operation/post-operation inspections” (page 30) for more information on attaching
stereo optical adapters.
1
Make sure that the O-ring in the distal end is properly attached.
See “Attaching and removing the optical adapter” (page 24) for information on how to check
the O-ring.

Attach the adapter so that there is no movement of the stereo optical adapter main
body. Rotate the stereo optical adapter in the direction of the arrow A shown in the
figure. Keep the stereo optical adapter rotated completely and turn the nut of the
stereo optical adapter in the direction of the arrow B shown in the figure until it is
tight.

NOTE
●
When securing the stereo optical adapter to the distal end, do not use tools or tighten with
excessive force.
●
Make sure that the stereo optical adapter is attached properly, is not loose, and is free from
dirt and dust particles.
●
If the attached stereo optical adapter rattles or is loose, or even though it does not rattle or
is not loose, if it is not firmly attached completely by rotating in the direction of arrow A shown
in the picture, the measurement accuracy deteriorates.
●
After the stereo optical adapter is attached, if the distal end is handled by grasping the stereo
optical adapter, it may turn in the opposite direction of arrow A in the picture even though
the nut is tightened securely. This could result in deteriorating the measurement accuracy.
When handling the distal end, do not hold it by the stereo optical adapter, but always grasp
the insertion tube.
●
When the distal end of the insertion tube is subjected to a large extraneous force or vibration,
the stereo optical adapter installation may be jolted, loosened or turned. Even if you leave
the stereo optical adapter attached to the insertion tube, always check the installation
condition before inserting the insertion tube into the observation measurement area.
