Notes on Handling the Microscope System
8
6 Focus knobs
• Never turn the focus knobs on the left and right sides of the product in opposite directions at the same
time. Doing so may damage the product.
• Turning the coarse focus knob past its farthest point will damage the product. Never use excessive
force when turning the knob.
7 Protect the ports (when the trinocular eyepiece tube or the variable magnification double port tube
is attached).
Always attach caps to any port not in use. When caps are provided with equipment, use them. If any port is
not covered with a cap, extraneous light and dust may come into the equipment.
8 Handling filters (for an epi-fl attachment)
• Interference filters (especially excitation light filters, which are exposed to strong light) deteriorate over
time. Replace the filters as necessary.
• Filter characteristics may alter if the filter is exposed to high humidity. To prevent changes or
degradation of filter characteristics, avoid using or storing the filters under conditions of high humidity or
high temperature and avoid subjecting the filters to rapid temperature changes. When a filter is not in
use, store it in a desiccator or hermetically sealed container with a drying agent.
• The filters attached in the nine types of filter cubes listed below have sharper wavelength characteristics
than standard filters. However, due to their sophisticated coatings, they must be handled with special
care. In particular, take care to avoid abrasion from cleaning. Follow the procedure described in Section
1, "Lens Cleaning," of Chapter 6, "Care and Maintenance."）
Single band filter cubes: DAPI, FITC, TxRed, GFP
Multi band filter cubes: F-R, F-T, D-F, D-F-R, D-F-T
9 Handling
the D-FLD dark-field illumination cube (for an epi-fl attachment)
There are two blades in front of the D-FLD dark-field illumination cube to prevent light from coming through.
Do not apply any pressure onto the blades to prevent malfunctions.
