IMPORTANT

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The SZX7 stereomicroscope is provided with the ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protection specifications. It is provided

with electroconductive coating in the external finish to reduce the surface resistance and grounding lead wires in their

standard stand or system to eliminate static electricity from them.

CAUTION To maintain the ESD protection performance, always use the microscope in combination with the

modules described in this manual or options having the ESD protection specifications. Otherwise,

the grounding will not work properly.

1. After the equipment has been used in an observation of a specimen that is accompanied with a potential of infection,

clean the parts coming in contact with the specimen to prevent infection.

· Moving this microscope is accompanied with the risk of

dropping the specimen. Be sure to remove the specimen

before moving this product.

· Hold the bottom of the stand with one hand while holding

base column with the other hand to avoid tilting the micro-

scope.

· In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous operation,

promptly take the infection prevention measures.

2. The desktop should be a level surface with an inclination of less than 3°, and the load to the microscope should be less

than 7 kg (when the SZ2-ST standard stand is used).

The microscope may become unstable when certain intermediate attachment and/or photography unit are mounted on

it. Be careful so that the microscope does not topple down.

3. When the microscope is to be disposed of, follow your local industrial waste disposal regulations.

If you have any questions, please contact Olympus.

1Getting Ready

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 conditions, see Chapter 6, “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 14.)

3. Do not turn the zoom adjustment knobs beyond the stopper positions. Otherwise, the internal mechanism may be

damaged.

Do not turn the left and right zoom adjustment knobs in the opposite directions, as this will result in a failure.

4. Only one intermediate attachment having thickness up to 60 mm can be mounted on the microscope. If two intermedi-

ate attachments or an intermediate attachment thicker than 60 mm is mounted, the image may be cut a little.

However, the coaxial reflected light illuminator (SZX-ILLC) is not counted in the number of intermediate attachment.

}When using multiple modules, they should be stacked in order of the SZX-ILLC, SZX-AS, SZX-RFA (SZX-RFL), SZX-SDO,

SZX-APT, SZX-BS, SZX-DA, SZX-FAD and SZX-EPA from the bottom to the top.

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).

2Maintenance and Storage

1. To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirty away using a commercially available blower and

wipe gently using a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze).

If a lens is stained with fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe it gauze slightly moistened with commercially available absolute

alcohol.

Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully.

Be sure to keep it away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks –– for example, electrical

equipment that is being switched on or off.

Also remember to always use it only in a well-ventilated room.

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

they use plastic resin materials extensively. 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 disposing of the microscope. Check the regulations and rules of your local government and be sure to

observe them.

OPERATION

4-1 Stand

1Using the Stage

1. When reflected light illumination is used, the stage plate can be placed

either the white or black surface facing up depending on the specimen.

However, when the ESD performance is required, always use the black

surface of the stage plate.

2. When transmitted light illumination is used, use the transparent glass

stage plate (SP-C).

Adjusting the Focus Adjustment Knob Tension

(Fig. 1)

}This operation is intended to facilitate the rotation of the knobs while

preventing spontaneous drop of the microscope body. It is recommended

to set the knob tension to a slightly higher level than the point where

spontaneous drop occurs.

1. Hold the left and right focus adjustment knobs @ with both hands, fix the

left knob and rotate the right knob. The rotation tension of the knobs

increases or decreases according to the direction in which the right knob

is rotated.

2. If the rotation tension is increased too much, accurate focusing is not

possible and the mechanism may be damaged.

#Confirm that the eyepiece clamping knobs @ are tightened firmly

before proceeding to the adjustment.

Eyepieces without eyepiece micrometer disk

1. Turn the diopter adjustment rings ² of the left and right eyepieces to

positions “0”. (This adjustment is not possible with eyepieces without

helicoids.)

2. Place an easy-to-observe specimen on the stage plate.

3. Set the zoom adjustment knob ³ for the lowest magnification and rotate

the focus adjustment knob | to bring the specimen into focus.

4. Set the zoom adjustment knob ³ for the highest magnification and

rotate the focus adjustment knob | to bring the specimen into focus.

5. Set the zoom adjustment knob ³ for the lowest magnification and rotate

the diopter adjustment rings ² of the left and right eyepieces, instead of

the focus adjustment knob, to bring the specimen into focus.

}Set the zoom adjustment knob ³ for the highest magnification again

and check the image focusing. The diopter adjustment is complete if the

image in accurate focus. If not, repeat steps 3 to 5 above.

Eyepieces with eyepiece micrometer disk

1. Look through the eyepiece with eyepiece micrometer disk and rotate its

diopter adjustment ring ² to bring the micrometer scale into focus.

2. Place an easy-to-observe specimen on the stage plate.

3. Set the zoom adjustment knob ³ for low magnification, look through the

eyepiece with eyepiece micrometer disk and rotate the focus adjustment

knob | to bring the specimen into focus.

4. Set the zoom adjustment knob ³ for the highest magnification, look

through the eyepiece with micrometer disk and rotate the focus adjust-

ment knob | to bring the specimen into focus.

5. Set the zoom adjustment knob ³ for the lowest magnification and rotate

the diopter adjustment ring of the eyepiece without eyepiece micrometer

disk, instead of the focus adjustment knob, to bring the specimen into

focus.

}Set the zoom adjustment knob ³ for the highest magnification again

and check the image focusing. The diopter adjustment is complete if the

image in accurate focus. If not, repeat steps 3 to 5 above.

}Note the left and right diopter scale values so that it can be quickly

duplicated in future observations.

Diopter scale of the 10X eyepieces

}The valid range of the diopter scale is between

8 and +5 but a slight

margin is added to it. Therefore, the diopter value may exceed +5 or

when it is adjusted to the maximum. In this case, whether the diopter

value is over +8 or under

5 can be identified by the length of the

eyepiece.
