Safety Precautions
4
6 Mercury lamp or xenon lamp
(for an epi-fl attachment)
The mercury lamp (or xenon lamp) used for the epi-fl attachment requires special handling. To use the
system safely and correctly, read the warnings below and be aware of the dangers. Also carefully read
the manual for the super high-pressure mercury lamp power supply (or high-intensity light source) and
the manual (if provided) by the manufacturer of the lamp and follow their instructions.
Warnings about the mercury lamp and the xenon lamp
1) The mercury lamp (or the xenon lamp) radiates ultraviolet light that is harmful to the eyes and skin
when the lamp is turned on. Don't look at the lamp directly. Direct viewing of light from these lamps
may result in blindness.
2) Gas is sealed under very high pressure inside the lamp. The pressure increases when the lamp is on.
If the lamp is scratched, dirty, subjected to high external pressure or physical impact, or used beyond
its operational life, the sealed gas may escape or the lamp may burst. In such cases, there is a
possibility of inhaling the gas, injury by broken piece of the glass, or other accidents.
3) When the lamp is on, the lamp and its surroundings become extremely hot. Do not tough the lamp
and its surroundings to prevent a burn injury and do not place flammable materials near the lamp to
prevent a fire.
4) Use only the lamps specified in this manual. Using other than the specified type of lamp could
result in an accident, such as a burst.
Because safety is a top priority in the design of Nikon products, the hazards described above should not
pose any danger as long as you heed all of the warnings and cautions in the manuals and use the system
only for its intended purpose. However, the hazards described above could lead to an accident if you fail
to heed all of the warnings and cautions in the manuals, if you strike the system, or if you attempt to
disassemble the system. Therefore, always be sure to heed all of the warnings and cautions.
7 Turn off the lamp before changing the filter cubes
(for an epi-fl attachment)
Before changing the filter cubes, be sure to turn off the light source of the epi-fl attachment. If the lamp is
lit and the filter cubes are changed, dangerous ultraviolet rays may be radiated.
8 Place the D/UV slider into the optical path
(for the D-FL epi-fl attachment)
To perform the bright-field microscopy under the episcopic illumination, the dark-field microscopy under
the episcopic illumination, or the DIC microscopy under the episcopic illumination with the mercury lamp
house, place the D/UV slider of the D-ES EPI ND slider into the optical path. If the D/UV slider is removed
from the optical path, dangerous ultraviolet rays will be radiated and the eyes and skin may be injured.
9 Installation of the microscope
To prevent the microscope from toppling over, fix the microscope FN1 body securely on a baseplate or a
vibration isolator with bolts.
