Chapter 3 Preparation and inspection before observation
Inspecting the O-ring
Inspect the O-ring for cuts or gaps.
CAUTION
•
If the O-ring is positioned incorrectly or chaps exist on its surface, water can get into the joint
area between the insertion tube and optical adapter which may cause malfunction or
damage. In some cases, the illumination does not light.
For 6-mm and 8.5-mm types
The O-ring on the 6-mm and 8.5-mm types are on the distal end of the insertion
tube.
On the 6-mm and 8.5-mm types, the area beneath the O-ring is yellow, which is
visible if the O-ring is not in correct position.
CAUTION
•
On the 6-mm and 8.5-types, if the O-ring is cut, nicked or shows any abnormality, put silicon
grease on the spare O-ring provided with the optical adapter and replace the abnormal O-
ring. You should periodically replace the O-ring.
4-mm type
The O-ring on the 4-mm type is in the optical adapter.
CAUTION
•
Since user inspection of the 4 mm type is difficult you should have it inspected periodically by
Olympus.
