SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Fig. 1)

Designated bulb 12V100WHAL (PHILIPS 7724)

12V50WHAL-L (LIFE JC)

This microscope employs a UIS (Universal Infinity System) optical design, and should be used only with

UIS eyepieces, objectives and condensers for the BX2 series. (Some of the modules designed for the BX

series are also usable. For details, please consult Olympus or the catalogues.) Less than optimum

performance may result if inappropriate accessories are used.

1. Install the microscope on a sturdy, level table or bench so as not to block

the air vents on the underside of the base.

Do not place the microscope on a flexible surface, as this could result in

blocking the air vents and cause overheating or a fire.

2. The surfaces of the lamp housing on the rear of the microscope will

become extremely hot during operation. When installing the microscope,

make sure to allow ample free space (10 cm or more) around and in

particular above the lamp housing.

3. When installing the microscope, route the power cord away from the

lamp housing. Should the power cord come in contact with the hot lamp

housing, the power cord could melt and cause electric shock.

4. To avoid potential shock hazards and burns when replacing the light

bulb, set the main switch @ to “ ” (OFF) then disconnect the power

cord from the wall outlet in advance. Whenever you replace the bulb

during use or right after use, allow the lamp socket ‚ and bulb to cool

before touching. (Fig. 1)

#The microscope also incorporate a fuse (this should be replaced by

the manufacturer or an authorized agent).

5. Always use the power cord provided by Olympus. If no power cord is

provided, please select the proper power cord by referring to the section

“PROPER SELECTION OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD” at the end of

this instruction manual. If the proper power cord is not used, product

safety performance cannot be warranted.

6. Always ensure that the grounding terminal of the microscope and that

of the wall outlet are properly connected. If the equipment is not grounded,

Olympus can no longer warrant the electrical safety performance of the

equipment.

7. Never insert metallic objects into the air vents of the microscope frame

as this could result in electrical shock, personal injury and equipment

damage.

Symbol Explanation

Indicates that the surface becomes hot, and should not be touched with bare hands.

Before use, carefully read the instruction manual. Improper use could result in personal injury to

the user and/or damage to the equipment.

Indicates that the main switch is ON.

Indicates that the main switch is OFF.

1Getting Ready

Safety Symbols

The following symbols are found on the microscope. Study the meaning of the symbols and always use the equipment

in the safest possible manner.

Warnings

Warning engraving is placed at parts where special precaution is required when handling and using the microscope.

Always heed the warnings.

1. A microscope is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid

subjecting it to sudden or severe impact.

2. Do not use the microscope where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high

temperature and humidity, dust or vibrations. (For the operating condi-

tions, refer to section 5, “SPECIFICATIONS”.)

3. When moving the microscope, carefully carry it with the grasping part on

the rear of the arm and the base as shown in Fig. 2 (Weight: approx. 16

kg).

#If a module such as a photographic device is installed, the micro-

scope system will be very heavy. Remove the intermediate attach-

ment before carrying.

#Damage to the microscope will occur if you grasp it by the stage,

coarse/fine adjustment knob or binocular section of the observa-

tion tube.

4. The BX51/52 series can be used with up to two intermediate attach-

ments (e.g. a U-CA magnification changer, U-EPA2 eyepoint adjuster, etc.).

For restrictions when using two intermediate attachments, make sure to

read the instruction manual provided with the respective intermediate

attachments.

BX51/BX52

2Maintenance and Storage

1. Clean all glass components by wiping gently with gauze. To remove fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe with gauze slightly

moistened with a mixture of ether (70%) and alcohol (30%).

Since solvents such as ether and alcohol are highly flammable, they must be handled carefully. Be sure to keep

these chemicals away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks –– for example, electrical equip-

ment that is being switched on or off. Also remember to always use these chemicals only in a well-ventilated

room.

2. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the microscope components other than the glass components. To clean

them, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.

3. Do not disassemble any part of the microscope as this could result in malfunction or reduced performance.

4. When not using the microscope, keep it covered with a supplied dust cover.

3Caution

If the microscope is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be imperiled. In addition, the

equipment may also be damaged. Always use the equipment as outlined in this instruction manual.

The following symbols are used to set off text in this instruction manual.

: Indicates that failure to follow the instructions in the warning could result in bodily harm to the

user and/or damage to equipment (including objects in the vicinity of the equipment).

# : Indicates that failure to follow the instructions could result in damage to equipment.

} : Indicates commentary (for ease of operation and maintenance).

USING THE CONTROLS

3-1 Base

Fig. 3

Fig. 4

1Voltage Indication (Fig. 3)

1. Turn the brightness adjustment knob @ clockwise to increase the volt-

age and make illumination brighter.

2. The numerals to the right of the lamp voltage indicator LEDs ² indicate

the voltage.

2Using the Light Intensity Preset Switch (Fig. 4)

}The light intensity preset switch @ makes it possible to limit the light

intensity to a preselected level regardless of the position of the bright-

ness adjustment knob.

The light intensity preset has been preset to optimum brightness for

photography when the built-in LBD filter is engaged (approx. 9 V with

marking).

1. Press the light intensity preset switch @ to the ON position. (The face of

the switch lights when it is ON.)

2. Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, turn the preset adjustment screw ²

to obtain the required light intensity. Turning the screw clockwise increases

brightness.

3. When the light intensity preset switch is set to OFF, the brightness returns

to the level set by the brightness adjustment knob.

#While the light intensity preset switch is ON, turning the light bright-

ness adjustment knob does not affect brightness.

3Using the Filters (Figs. 5 - 10)

}You can place a filter in the light path with one of the following methods.

· Push in the knob of the desired built-in filter to engage it in the light path.

(Page 9)

· Place a filter on the filter mount on the base and engage in the light path.

(Page 9)

· Insert a filter in the U-FC filter cassette, attach it on the filter mount and

engage it in the light path by sliding the filter lever. (Page 9)
