Getting Ready
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 the operating conditions, see “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 13.)
3. Be careful not to leave stains and fingerprints on the lens surfaces.
Contamination of the lens and mirror deteriorates the view of images.
4. Do not turn the left and right zoom adjustment knobs in the opposite directions, as this will result in a failure.
5. The rubber parts of the eyepiece sleeves are fragile and should be handled carefully. If they are damaged, dirt will
penetrate inside the microscope.
