6. Cautions on assembling, installing, and carrying the microscope
• Take care to avoid pinching your fingers or hands during microscope assembly.
• Scratches or fouling such as fingerprints on optical components (such as lens and filters) will
degrade microscope images. Be careful to avoid scratches or direct contact with the lens and filters.
• The main unit weighs about 9 kg. Grasp the main unit by the handle on the back of the microscope
and the recess at the base on the opposite side from the handle.
• Remove all attachments (if attached) from the microscope before carrying the microscope.
• Do not install the product in a locker or cabinet.
7. Storage conditions for installation and transportation
The microscope must be installed under the following operating conditions: temperature (0°C to 40°C),
humidity (85% RH max., no condensation)
Storage conditions for transportation are as follows: temperature (-20°C to +60°C), humidity (9-% RH
max., no condensation)
8. Use the microscope with the wiring cover (when using the ECLIPSE 55i)
Do not remove the cover except when assembling the product or replacing batteries. Using the system
without the cover may cause a short, resulting in abnormal heat.
9. Remove any covers from the product before switching on.
Do not use the product while covered with a cloth, etc., as this will give result in abnormal heat and fire
hazards.
10. Caution concerning long, sustained observations
To relieve fatigue resulting from long observation sessions, limit continuous observations to one hour.
Take at least 10- to 15-minute breaks between observation sessions. Adjust the layout of other
equipment (such as the display and the mouse) and match to the position of the product and the height
of your chair.
