1. These products are precision instruments. Handle them with care and avoid subjecting them to sudden or severe
impact and also connect the cables gently.
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 49.)
3. When attaching or detaching any accessory, make sure to proceed in a condition that nothing is attached on the
left side port.
4. To prevent malfunction, do not replace modules or connect/disconnect cables while the main switch of the IX3-
CBM is set to “ I ” ON.
5. Do not disassemble any part of the microscope. Doing so could cause failure of the microscope.
6. Before disposing of this product, be sure to follow the regulations and rules of your local government.
1. Do not leave stains or fingerprints on the lenses and filters. Blow away dust with a commercially available blower
and gently wipe the lens or filter with a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze).
For wiping fingerprints and oil stains, use a piece of cleaning paper 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, which could cause ignition of a fire.
Also remember to always use absolute alcohol only in a well-ventilated room.
2. Do not use organic solvents, which cause painted and plastic parts to deteriorate. Do not use organic solvents to
clean device components other than the glass components. To clean them, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moist-
ened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. This microscope is not provided with a dust-proof mechanism. When not using the microscope, make sure to set
the main switch to “\” (OFF), confirm that the lamp housing is cool enough and cover the microscope with the
provided dust cover.
