WARNING

1. Intended product use

This microscope is intended primarily for microscopy and photomicrography of stones,

rocks, minerals, and high-polymer materials using a polarized light illumination. Besides,

this microscope is intended for use in optical property analysis in the fields of mineralogy

and high polymer chemistry.

2. Do not disassemble

Disassembling this product may result in electric shock or malfunctions. Damage or injury

that may occur due to mishandling is unwarranted. Never attempt to disassemble any part

other than the parts described in this manual. If you experience problems with the product,

contact your nearest Nikon representative.

3. Read the instructions carefully

To ensure safety, carefully read this manual and the manuals provided with any other

equipment used with this product. In particular, observe all warnings and cautions given at

the beginning of each manual.

To use an external light source

When an external light source, such as a mercury lamp or a xenon lamp, is used, you must

take great care of the lamp. Read the instruction manual for the light source and follow the

instructions and cautions for it.

4. Rated voltage

The power supply circuit in this product is designed for AC power of 100 to 240 VAC and

50/60 Hz. Before connecting the power cord, check that the power supply to be used

conforms to the voltage and frequency described above. Use of a non-conforming power

supply may result in equipment malfunction, failure, or fire.

5. Power cord

Be sure to use the specified power cord. Using a wrong power cord may result in

malfunctions or fire. The product is classified as subject to Class I protection against

electrical shock. Make sure it is connected to an appropriate ground terminal (protective

earth terminal). To prevent electrical shock, always turn off the power switch (press it to the

“ ” position) on the power supply before attaching or detaching the power cord. For

specifications of the power cord, refer to “VII. Specifications.”

6. Specified light source

Use this product with a specified light source. The specified light source devices are as

follows:

•Episcopic illuminator

Nikon LV-UEPI Universal Epi Illuminator (model name: LV-UEPI)

•Lamp house (for episcopic illumination and diascopic illumination)

Nikon LV-LH50PC Precentered Lamp House 12V 50W (model name: LV-LH50PC)

•Lamp

Nikon LV-HL50W 12V 50W LONGLIFE halogen lamp (model name: LV-HL50W), or

non-Nikon 12V 50W SHORTLIFE halogen lamp (model name: OSRAM HLX 64610,

OSRAM HLX 64611, or PHILIPS 7027).

If you wish to buy these lamps, please contact your nearest Nikon representative.

Note that if a lamp not specified is used for this product, the product is not approved as a UL

listed product.

WARNING

7. Heat from the light source

The lamp and the lamp house become extremely hot. To avoid burns, do not touch the lamp

house while the lamp is lit or for thirty minutes after it is turned off. Furthermore, to avoid

the risk of fire, do not place fabric, paper, or highly flammable volatile materials (such as

gasoline, petroleum benzine, paint thinner, or alcohol) near the lamp house while the lamp is

lit or for about thirty minutes after it is turned off.

8. Air vents

Do not block the air vents on the microscope and lamp house. If the air vents are blocked,

the temperature of the microscope will raise. And it results in damage or fire.

9. Reflection

Lustrous samples reflect the illumination. Do not observe the illuminated surface of a

sample for a long time because the strong reflection may hurt your eyes.

CAUTION

1. Handle with care

This product is a precision optical instrument. Handle the product with care to avoid shock

on impact.

In particular, objectives may loose accuracy when exposed to even a weak physical shock.

2. Do not wet the microscope

If the microscope gets wet, a short circuit may cause malfunction or abnormal heating of the

microscope. If you accidentally spill water on the microscope, immediately turn off the

power switch (flip it to the “ ” side) and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Then,

wipe off the water with a piece of dry cloth. If water enters a component, immediately

suspend use of this product, disconnect the power cord from the outlet, and contact your

nearest Nikon representative.

3. Weak electromagnetic waves

The product emits weak electromagnetic waves. There is a possibility that some precision

electronic devices are affected by the electromagnetic waves. To prevent bad influences,

locate such electronic devices away from the microscope system. If a TV or radio reception

is affected, move the TV or radio set farther from the product.

4. Installation location

This microscope system is a precision optical instrument. The usage or storage in an

inappropriate environment may result in malfunctions or poor performance.

Consider the following factors when selecting an installation location:

•Avoid a brightly lit location, such as exposed to direct sunlight or directly under a room

light. The image quality deteriorates if there is excessive ambient light.

•Always install the microscope with a surrounding clear area of 10 cm or more.

•Choose a location that is free from considerable dust or dirt.

•Choose a flat surface with little vibration.

•Choose a sturdy desk or table for the base of the microscopy system.

•Do not install the microscope in a hot and humid location.

•Select a layout that allows easy removal of the power cord from the product’s AC inlet in

the event of an emergency.

•For details about the operating environment and storage environment, see “VII.

Specifications.”

5. Cautions on moving the microscope

•This product is a precision optical instrument. Handle it carefully and do not subject it to a

strong physical shock. (In particular, objectives may loose accuracy when exposed to even

a weak physical shock.)

•When moving the microscope, first remove the lamp house. Then, securely hold the

microscope by the root of the arm from the back.

(Information) The microscope with the stage, eyepiece tube, lamp house, and other parts

attached, weighs approx. 20 kg.

•Do not hold the focus knobs, eyepiece tube, lamp house, sub-stage, or so on, when

carrying the microscope. They may come off and may cause serious injury or malfunction.

•Be careful not to pinch your hands or fingers when setting up the microscope.

6. Cautions on assembling the microscope

•Be careful not to pinch your fingers or hands during assembly.

•Scratches or fingerprints on the lenses will adversely affect the image. Be careful not to

scratch or touch the lens surfaces.

CAUTION

7. Cautions on lamp replacement

•To prevent burn injuries, wait at least 30 minutes after the lamp is turned off to give it

sufficient time to cool when replacing lamps.

•To prevent electrical shock and damage to the microscope, always turn off the power

switch (flip it to the “ ” side) and unplug the power cord from the outlet before attaching

or detaching the lamp house.

•Never touch the glass surface of the lamp with bare hands. Doing so will cause

fingerprints, grease, etc. to burn onto the lamp surface, reducing the illumination. If you

do get any fingerprints or dirt on the lamp, wipe them clean.

•Make sure the lamp house cover is securely fitted to the lamp house after replacing lamps.

Never turn on the lamp with the lamp house cover removed.

•When you dispose of the replaced lamp, do not break it up. Instead, dispose of the used

lamp as special industrial waste or dispose of it according to the local regulations and

rules.
