According to the intended use, only a 100/0 deflection to the camera port with mounted
VivaTome is provided.
Never look directly into the light guide output of the white light source to avoid the risk of
being dazzled and going blind.
The white light source must not be switched on until after having connected the output of the
liquid light guide tightly with VivaTome and VivaTome firmly screwed to the coupling point of
the microscope.
Take appropriate protective measures if the specimen releases noxious gases, dust, and vapors,
secondary radiation or explosive substances as a result of the UV radiation!
When using the white light source HXP 120 / HXP 120 C, please pay attention to the
manufacturer's operating manual.
The bulb of the external white light source has to be changed according to the manufacturer's
operating instructions of the white light source. Otherwise there is danger of burns and
explosion when changing the bulb.
Maintenance or repair work, as well as any modification, removal or exchange of components
not described in this operating manual, or any other intervention in the equipment may only be
carried out by Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH staff or by persons expressly authorized by the
company.
Please take into consideration that VivaTome is a high-precision opto-electronic system.
Improper handling can easily impair its functioning or even damage it and will lead to a forfeit
of all warranty claims.
Use VivaTome in closed rooms only.
Dirt and dust may impair the performance of the devices. They must therefore be protected
from such influences to the greatest possible extent.
In order to prevent vibrations during the operation, an anti-vibration plate or a vibration-
damped system table should be used in connection with VivaTome.
Read in any case the safety data sheet for Immersol 518 F
