When connecting new CAN components to the stand, this must be disconnected from mains
supply, i.e. first remove the power plug of the stand or from the external power supply unit
VP232-2.
If there are reflector modules in the reflector turret which are fitted with neutral beam splitters
or partial mirrors in the beam-splitting mirror position or if these are fitted in the reflector turret
itself, looking into the eyepiece can cause injury to the eye if an HBO 100 or HXP 120 V lamp is
switched on. This applies particularly if the specimen or the specimen holder has reflective
properties. Appropriate radiation attenuation measures must be taken (e.g. the use of neutral
filters) to prevent damage to the eyes.
When using fluorescence filters, the heat protection filter, which provides protection from
radiant heat emitted by the microscope illuminator, must not be removed. Fluorescence filters
are heat-sensitive and their function may be impaired if the heat protection filter is removed.
The reflected and transmitted LED illumination lamps are assigned to LED risk category 2 under
DIN EN 62471:2009. Do not look directly into the illumination light.
The desktop power supply units which are available as a microscopy accessory permit mains
voltages in the 100 to 240 V ±10%, 50 – 60 Hz range without the voltage setting on the
instrument having to be changed.
Desktop power supply units available as microscopy accessories should not come into contact
with moisture. If the housing is damaged, the desktop power supply unit should be taken out
of use. The microscope must only be operated with the desktop power supply unit contained in
the scope of delivery.
The operating manuals of the light sources and the software as well as the quick reference
guides “Auto Immersion Module” (433801-7044-001) and “Filter wheel excitation 8-pos. mot.
for filters d = 25 mm; CAN and dual filter wheel mot. for beam splitting and emission; CAN”
(452358-7044-001) must be strictly observed.
If it is determined that protective measures are no longer effective, the instrument must be
taken out of service and secured against inadvertent operation. Please contact ZEISS Service or
the ZEISS Microscopy Service to repair the instrument.
Please note that the Axio Observer is a precision opto-electronic device. Incorrect handling can
easily impair the functioning of the device, or even damage it, and will render any warranty
claims invalid.
