Gas discharge lamps, e.g. HBO 100, emit ultraviolet radiation which can cause burns on the
eyes and skin. Therefore, never look directly into the light of these lamps and avoid direct,
unprotected incidence of their light on your skin. When using the microscope, always use the
protective devices belonging to the instrument (e.g. special attenuation filters). When hot, gas
discharge lamps are under high internal pressure and must therefore be changed when cooled
down by using protective gloves and goggles (for detailed information, please see the
operating instructions B 40-065 e).
When fluorescence filters are used, the filter protecting from heat emitted by the microscope
illuminator must not be removed, since fluorescence filters are sensitive to heat and their
function might therefore be impaired.
Placing objects against or covering ventilation slats can lead to a build-up of heat which will
damage the instrument and, in extreme cases, cause a fire. Always keep the ventilation slats
clear and make sure that no objects enter the instrument through the ventilation slats.
Avoid touching the hot lamp housings. Always pull the power plug before changing the lamps
and allow the instrument to cool down for approx. 15 mins.
Dust and dirt can impair the performance of the instrument. Therefore, the instrument must be
protected against these influences as far as possible, and covered with the dust cover if it is not
used for longer periods of time. Always check whether the instrument is switched off before
you cover it.
The instruments may only be operated by trained personnel who must be aware of the possible
danger involved with microscopy and the relevant application.
The Axiovert 200 microscopes are opto-mechanical precision instruments which can be
impaired in their performance or damaged when handled improperly.
