1Getting Ready
1. The LED illuminator stand is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to sudden or severe
impact.
2. Do not use the LED illuminator stand where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, dust or
vibrations. (For the operating conditions, refer to chapter 4, “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 6.)
3. The LED illuminator stand can be used with the following microscope bodies.
· SZ2 series microscopes (SZ51, SZ51-60, SZ61, SZ61-60 or SZ61TR) and SZX7
· Previous SZ series microscopes
4. Install the LED illuminator stand on a desktop surface that is as level as less than 3° from the horizontal plane, and the
mounted load should be less than 7 kilograms.
5. This equipment is not provided with the ESD (electro static discharge) compatibility.
6. The illumination performance cannot be manifested fully if an optional low-power auxiliary objective (SZ2 series) or
objective (SZX7) is used. (For details, see page 5.)
7. Light intensity does not change linearly with respect to the rotation of the light intensity knob.
8. The color hues may be variable depending on the variance of each LED.
9. The following modules cannot be mounted on this equipment.
· Stage plate
· Stage or stage adapter
· Oblique illuminator LSGA
· Coaxial reflected light illuminator SZ2-ILLC
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 parts other than the glass components. To clean them, use a lint-free,
soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. The stage surface is provided with a simplified waterproof construction. If water is spilt on it, promptly set the main switch
to “ ” (OFF), unplug the power cord and wipe with a dry cloth.
If water penetrates inside the equipment, contact Olympus to have the electrical safety checked.
4. Do not disassemble any part of the equipment as this could result in malfunction or reduced performance.
