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
operating conditions, see Chapter 8, “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 54).
3. An intermediate attachment with a thickness of up to 60 mm can be mounted between the microscope frame and
binocular observation tube (U-BI90CT, U-BI90).
· If the U-TBI90 is used together with an intermediate attachment, the image may be cut off or obscured.
4. The oil-proof cap can only be mounted on a UIS Series 3 objective. Note that this does not change the optical
performance. (For applicable objectives, see page 30.)
5. Restrictions in brightfield, phase contrast and DIC observations
· When the U-BI90CT is used together with the optional 2X magnification changer built into the microscope frame, the
brightness in the peripheral area of the field may become insufficient.
(The insufficiency in brightness can be improved by extending the light path length using the U-EPA2 eye-point
adjuster.)
· With the combination of U-TR30H + U-FWO, the full optical performance may not be able to be manifested with the
objectives listed in @ below and it is not possible to use the objectives listed in ² below. (This also applies to
objectives other than Series 3 objectives.)
