IMPORTANT

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. To prevent the microscope body from turning over, its pivot angle must

be limited to 30° as shown in Fig. 1.

2. Sufficient care is required during observation with a magnification objec-

tive, because the objective´s long working distance can displace the

microscope body to a higher position. Care is also required when using

an auxiliary pillar (SZH-P400/P600), which also makes the microscope

body unstable.

3. To adjust the microscope body height, be sure to hold the focusing as-

sembly with one hand while loosening the focusing assembly clamping

knob @. (Fig. 1)

(Use the drop prevention collar (SZX-R) to prevent a hazard from occurring.)

Fig. 1

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, or vibration. (For operating environment, see

Section 6, “Specifications” on page 16.)

3. Observe the following cautions when operating the coarse or fine focus

adjustment knobs or the zooming knob.

Fig. 2

Operation Manipulated Controls Caution

Focusing Coarse/fine focus ad-

justment knobs @

(Fig. 2)

1. If the knob hits the upper or lower

limiting mechanism violently or

it is rotated after it hits a limiting

mechanism, the internal mecha-

nism may be damaged.

2. If the knobs on the left and right

are rotated in opposite directions,

the internal mechanism will be

damaged. (The tension of the

coarse focus adjustment knob

should be adjusted using the

tension adjustment ring ³ on the

knob.)

Zooming Zooming knob ²

(Fig. 2)

1. If the knob hits the upper or lower

limiting mechanism violently or

it is rotated after it has hit a limit-

ing mechanism, the internal

mechanism may be damaged.

2. If the knobs on the left and right

are rotated in opposite directions,

the internal mechanism will be

damaged.

30°

²³

4. Only one intermediate attachment can be used. Using two attachments

may obscure a part of the image. However, the vertical illuminator (SZX-

ILLC) is not considered to be an attachment.

}When more than one intermediate attachment is to be combined, they

should be stacked according to the following order, from the bottom to

the top: SZX-ILLC, SZX-AS, SZX-RFA (SZX-RFL), SZX-SDO, SZX-APT, SZX-

BS, SZX-DA, SZX-FAD, then SZX-EPA.

5. The desk surface inclination with respect to the horizontal surface should

be less than 5°.

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. The equipment uses plastic resins extensively in its external finish. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the

non-optical components of the microscope. To clean these components, use a lint-free, soft cloth lightly moistened with a

diluted neutral detergent.

3. Never disassemble any part of the microscope as this could result in malfunctions or reduced performance.

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

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

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

1 Installing the Pillar (Fig. 3)

1. Using the Allen wrench provided with the base, loosen the 2 clamping

screws @ on the pillar support sleeve completely.

2. Hold the pillar ² with the white rubber cap at the top, and insert it into the

pillar support sleeve until it reaches the bottom.

3. Using the provided Allen wrench, tighten the 2 clamping screws ²

securely.

2Mounting the Focusing Assembly (Figs. 4 & 5)

1. First loosen the focusing assembly clamping knob @ completely, and

while holding the focusing assembly with both hands, insert the pillar ³

into the mounting hole ² from below. (Fig. 4)

#Insert slowly. Do not apply excessive force.

2. Lower the focusing assembly until it stops, then tighten the focusing

assembly clamping knob @. (Fig. 4)

To prevent the microscope from turning over, the focusing assembly

must be installed on the same side as the stage plate in the stand,

as shown in the illustration marked “ ” in Fig. 5, and its pivot angle

must be limited to 30°. If the focusing assembly is placed on the

wrong side, the microscope will turn over.

#If the clamping knob @ is tightened while the pillar ³ is not com-

pletely inserted into the mounting hole ², the plate spring support-

ing the pillar will deform and the pillar will not be able to penetrate

into the hole. (Fig. 4)

3Mounting the Microscope Body (Fig. 6)

1. Remove the cap @ on the focusing assembly by inserting a thin object

into the notch.

2. Using the provided Allen screwdriver, loosen the dovetail mount clamp-

ing screw inside the cap on the focusing assembly by rotating it by 2 or

3 turns (counterclockwise).

3. Gently insert the dovetail mount ³ on the rear of the microscope body

into the dovetail mounting port ² on the focusing assembly.

# Do not insert the mount at an angle or with excessive force, for this

may cause malfunctions.

4. When the microscope body has been inserted until it stops, tighten the

clamping screw using the Allen screwdriver.

5. Place the cap @ in the original position.

4Mounting the Objective (Fig. 7)

Mount the objective ² on the objective mount thread @ by rotating the

objective in the direction of the arrow.

Mounting the Auxiliary Objective SZX-AL20X (SZX-ZB12 only)

When using the auxiliary objective (SZX-AL20X), mount it onto the tip

of the DFPLAPO1XPF objective and tighten the clamping screw while

pushing it against the tip. (See page 10.)

Remember that the SZX-AL20X cannot be used with other objectives.

5Mounting the Observation Tube (Fig. 8)

1. Using the Allen screwdriver, loosen the observation tube clamping screw

@ completely.

2. Aligning the positioning pin ³ of the microscope body to the positioning

groove ² on the observation tube, insert the dovetail mount | at the

bottom of the observation tube into the mounting port ƒ on the micro-

scope body.

3. Using the Allen screwdriver, tighten the observation tube clamping

screw @.

# The observation tube can be mounted 180° from the above posi-

tion, but this positioning makes observation difficult and is not rec-

ommended. When the auxiliary pillar is used, this positioning is im-

possible because the eyepiece gets in the way.

6Mounting the Eyepiece (Fig. 9)

1. Remove the eyepiece dust caps @ and loosen the eyepiece clamping

screws ² completely.

2. Gently insert the cross-lined eyepiece (CROSS WHS10X) ³ (if this is not

provided, use the WHS10X-H) into the right eyepiece sleeve until it stops.

3. Gently insert the eyepiece (WHS10X-H) into the left eyepiece sleeve until

it comes up against the stop.

4. Tighten both eyepiece clamping screws ².

7Mounting (Removing) the Stage Plate (Fig. 10)

Place the stage plate (white, black on back side) into the mounting hole

on the base.

To remove, press the stage plate at the edge nearest to the pillar with

your fingertip. The opposite end will rise from the base so the stage plate

can be picked up easily.

8Mounting the Specimen Holder (Fig. 11)

Insert the specimen holder @ into the 2 holes ² on the top surface of the

base.

9Positioning the Microscope Body on the Stand(Fig. 12)

Loosen the focusing assembly clamping knob @. Slightly pivoting the

microscope body to the left and right, align the center of the objective

with the center of the stage plate ², then clamp the microscope body
