CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Warning labels
Warning labels related to laser beam are attached to the unit. Always heed the warnings.

Applicability of the System
1. Applicable modules
· Motorized microscope frame:
· Motorized vertical illuminator:
· Motorized revolving nosepieces
For brightfield objectives:
For brightfield/darkfield objectives: U-D6BDREMC, U-D5BDREMC U-P5BDREMC, or U-D5BDREM
(Note) When a brightfield objective is mounted on a revolving nosepiece by means of the BD-M-AD objective
adapter, the AF performance is not guaranteed due to deviation of centering of focusing.
· Objectives
Brightfield objectives:
Brightfield/darkfield objectives:
(Note) Objectives with WDs (Working Distances) of 1 mm or more are recommended. When the WD is below 1 mm,
special care is required in setting the AF zone and Near limit.
· Obser vation tube:
}The previous objective series are also applicable provided that the model names are the same.
2. Applicable observation methods
}For details on the observation methods, read the instruction manuals for the microscope and microscope accessories.
· Reflected light brightfield, reflected light darkfield, reflected light DIC (Differential Interference Contrast)*, reflected light
simplified polarized light* and reflected light DUV (Deep Ultra-Violet light) ** observations
* The MX-AFDIC analyzer slot unit, U-AN analyzer and U-PO-3 polarizer are required.
** The U-AFA2M AF unit and the U-UVF248 DUV microscopy unit are required.
· The FN (Field Number) of the eyepieces should be no more than 22. The FN of the camera/TV light path is no more
than 20.
· In the DIC observation, AF may sometimes be impossible due to reduction of return light in certain retardation positions.
· In the DIC and simplified polarized light observations, the visual field may become irregular with certain specimens.
· Except in the DIC observation, be always sure to use a dummy slider to prevent flare.
· In the CCD camera observation, the laser spot for AF may be visible when the CCD camera does not incorporate an IR
cut filter (this does not cause a safety problem).
