CONFOCAL LASER SCANNING

BIOLOGICAL MICROSCOPE

Ver 4.3a

This user’s manual is for the software to be run on Olympus FLUOVIEW FV300 Confocal Laser
Scanning Biological Microscope. To ensure safety, obtain optimum performance and familiarize yourself
fully with this product, we recommend that you study this manual thoroughly before operation.
This user’s manual is composed of two volumes including “SYSTEM OVERVIEW”, “OPERATION
INSTRUCTIONS”, “MAINTENANCE” and “TROUBLESHOOTING”. Together with this manual, please
also read the “User’s manual FLUOVIEW FV300” and the instruction manual of the microscope in order
to understand overall operation methods. To ensure the safety operation of laser system, we
recommend you to study the manual of each laser and the light source equipment besides this manual.

Retain this manual in an easily accessible place near a system for future reference.
