Drop Prevention Collar SZX-R and Auxiliary Pillar SZH-P400/SZH-P600
}The auxiliary pillar is to be used when observing a large specimen or when it is required to move the microscope body
upward for using a low-magnification objective with long WD.
}The drop prevention collar prevents the zoom microscope body from dropping when installed at a high position using
the auxiliary pillar and the clamping knob on the focusing assembly is loosened carelessly. This helps to avoid accidental
damage to the specimen or objective.
# The static load resistance of the SZX-R is 7 kg at maximum.

The LSGA oblique illumination unit and SZX-LGH1 light guide can be
mounted.
# When the specimen height is low or an objective with a short working
distance is used, the drop prevention collar @ does not have to be
mounted if you move the microscope body downward. However,
this reduces safety that is assured by using the SZX-R drop prevention
collar @, so be always sure to hold the focusing assembly firmly
when loosening the focusing assembly clamping knob.
