IMPORTANT

Each of these microscopes employs a UIS2/UIS (Universal Infinity System) optical design, and should

be used only with modules designed for the BX2 series (which belong to the Olympus BX series

microscopes) and objectives/eyepieces for the UIS series.

For the applicable module, please consult Olympus or the catalogues. Less than optimum performance

may result if inappropriate accessories are used.

Configuration of Instruction Manuals

Since these microscopes are expandable to a variety of systems, separate instruction manuals are provided

so that the user has to read only the manuals according to the user's own system.

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 product is accompanied with the risk of dropping the

specimen. Be sure to remove the specimen before moving this

product.

· In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous operation, promptly

take the infection prevention measures.

· The product becomes unstable if its height is increased by an accessory

mounted on it. In this case, take anti-toppling measures to prevent the

specimen from being dropped when the product topples down.

2. 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.

3. If a foreign object is caught during motorized focusing operation, there

will be an error in the focusing block and the motorized focusing opera-

tion will be suspended.

Recovery procedure

· If there is no error in motorized operation, the caught object can be

removed by turning the focusing knob.

· If there is an error in motorized operation, the focusing knob becomes

inoperable. Disassemble the relevant modules to remove the caught

object. Replace the relevant modules afterward.

· Turn off the power and then on again. The system will restart unless

there is a malfunction in the motor.

4. To activate temporary stop during focusing operation, turn the focusing

knob (or dial) on the microscope frame (in either direction) or press any of

the FOCUS control buttons (

communication).

When the main switch of the BX-UCB control box is set to " I " (ON), the

focusing operation starts automatically as part of initialization (this opera-

tion consists of temporary lowering and then returning to the original

position of the stage). If any of the operations mentioned above is per-

formed, an emergency stop will also occur. In this case, set the main

switch to "

" (OFF) and then " I " (ON) again.
