ATTENTION
It is not possible to change the type of immersion medium once the glass
laboratory bottle has been filled with either oil or silicone immersion
medium. Otherwise damage can occur to the liquid dispenser.
Before the VS200 system can be shipped (e.g. for repair) all liquids have to
be removed from the system. Please contact the Olympus Customer Sup-
port for detailed information.
It is not possible to change the type of immersion medium once the glass
laboratory bottle has been filled with either oil or silicone immersion
medium. Otherwise damage can occur to the liquid dispenser.
As the liquid dispenser was tested with Olympus immersion media the best
performance will be obtained with Olympus immersion media (Olympus
Type-F Immersion Oil or Olympus Silicon Immersion Oil SIL300CS-30SC).
The VS200 system can be equipped with an automatic liquid dispenser capable of
dispensing different types of immersion medium. Once a particlular type of immer-
sion medium has been used, you can no longer switch to a different type.
The liquid dispenser can only be installed by Technical Service of Olympus.
The immersion objectives, oil or silicone, can be installed by anybody however.
