If it is determined that protection measures are no longer effective, the instrument must be
switched off and safeguarded against inadvertent operation. Please contact the Zeiss Service
department or Carl Zeiss Microscopy Service to repair the instrument.
The ApoTome.2 control box is equipped with an integrated power supply which permits the
use of line voltages in the range between 100 and 240 V ±10 %, 50 / 60 Hz, without having to
adjust the line voltage on the instrument.
Before switching on the instrument, check whether it is suitable for the line voltage present.
Always disconnect the instrument from the power outlet before opening it and before
changing the fuses.
Make sure to use only fuses of the rated power required. The use of makeshift fuses and the
short-circuiting of the fuse holders are not permitted.
The ApoTome.2 slider and the ApoTome.2 control box are not equipped with any special
devices for the protection from corrosive, potentially infectious, toxic, and radioactive
specimens or other specimens that could be hazardous to health. When handling such
specimens, observe all legal regulations, particularly the relevant national regulations for the
prevention of accidents.
Gas-discharge lamps, e.g. HBO 100, emit ultraviolet radiation that can cause burns to the eyes
and skin. Therefore, never look directly into the light of these lamps and avoid direct incidence
of their light on your skin. When using the microscope, always use the protective units
belonging to the instrument (e.g. special attenuation filters or the fluorescence shield). When
they are hot, gas-discharge lamps are under high internal pressure. Therefore, replace them
only when they have cooled down and make sure to wear protective gloves and a face guard.
(For details, please refer to Operating Manual HBO 100.)
When using fluorescence filters, do not remove the heat-absorbing filter for the protection
against heat emitted by the microscope illuminator since fluorescence filters are sensitive to
heat and their performance could be impaired.
Avoid touching the hot lamp housing. Always pull the power plug before replacing the lamp
and allow the instrument to cool down for approximately 15 minutes.
Do not operate the device in potentially explosive environments.
