IMPORTANT
· The U-AFA2M active AF unit is an intermediate attachment to be used with the BX61 microscope or the
BXFMA-F motorized vertical illuminator. The AF (autofocusing) operation is available by running the
dedicated software on a PC.
· This unit employs a laser diode (wavelength 775-800 nm) as the AF light source. The pupil division
active AF system enables high-speed focusing and the multi-spot projection improves the stability of
focusing of specimens with variable difference in heights.
· The following two kinds of AF units are available.
U-AFA2M-VIS: Visible AF unit (For exclusive use with visible light).
U-AFA2M-DUV: DUV AF unit (For visible and DUV light).
Safety Precautions
"Caution --- Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure."
1. This unit uses a laser diode (wavelength 775-800 nm) for autofocusing. It is designed to be safe by reducing the laser
power (Class 1), but it is still not recommended to view the laser light directly by removing the cover, etc. (Before mainte-
nance, be sure to set the power switch to "
Never remove the warning and caution labels on the unit.
This product complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations
pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007.
2. When using the DUV AF unit in combination, keep in mind that DUV (Deep Ultra-Violet light) is harmful to your eyes and
skin. Be sure to observe strictly the cautions given in the instruction manual provided with the DUV microscopy unit.
3. Always use the power cord provided by Olympus. If the proper power cord is not used, the product performance as well
as its safety performance cannot be warranted.
4. Always ensure that the grounding terminal is properly grounded/earthed. If the equipment is not grounded, Olympus
can no longer warrant the electrical safety performance of the equipment.
5. Distribute the connection cables at a distance from the lamp housing. If a connection cable contacts the lamp housing
or its surroundings, the cable may be melted and cause an electric shock hazard.
6. Never insert metallic objects into the air vents of the unit as this could result in electrical shock, personal injury and
equipment damage.
7. To prevent the microscope system from turning over, do not install modules which cause the microscope system height
to exceed 1 meter.
8. Do not place anything on the top of the AF unit as it may fall.
Safety Symbols
The following symbols are found on the unit. Study the meaning of the symbols and always use the equipment in the
safest possible manner.
