Maintenance and Storage
1. Be careful to avoid leaving dirt or fingerprints on the lenses, filters and high-pressure mercury burner,
for contamination of these parts may cast the shadow of a foreign object in the field of view or
compromises the burner performance.
If a glass component is contaminated, clean it 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 equipment that is being switched on or off. Also remember
to always use these chemicals only in a well-ventilated room.
2. The mercury burner has an average service life of 100 hours. When the hour counter on the power
supply unit indicates 100 hours, replace the burner with a new one (see page 26).
Using a burner after its service life expires could lead to the burner exploding, though this occurs very
rarely.
3. The surfaces of the dichroic mirror and excitation/barrier filters are very delicate. When it becomes
necessary to clean it, please contact Olympus.
4. Do not disassemble any part of the system as this could result in malfunction or reduced performance.
