10. Cautions on motorized devices
The product can rotate and focus (raise and lower) the PFS Motorized Nosepiece with motors.
The product can also have various motorized devices attached. When TI-HUBC/A Hub Controller
A is used with the product, the system can be controlled with a TI series controller or a PC.
To prevent injuries, pay attention to the following when operating motorized devices:
• Before operating the product, check the whole microscope system, and make sure that all
moving parts can be operated safely.
• Your hands and fingers may be caught and injured by the nosepiece, objectives, stage, parts
arranged on the stage, or specimen containers. Keep your hands away from these devices
during operation.
• Check the optical path of the whole microscope system before operating the shutter on the
illuminator or adjusting the brightness. The light source emits a very strong light. If the optical
path is not set up correctly, the illumination light may leak out or enter the objective, and
cause an eye injury.
11. Notes on handling hazardous specimens
The product is intended mainly for microscopic observations and micromanipulations of
specimens such as living cells and tissues in a Petri dish. Note the following when handling the
specimens:
• Before handling a specimen, check whether it is hazardous. Wear rubber gloves when
handling hazardous (i.e. potentially infectious) specimens.
• Be careful not to spill the specimen. If a specimen is spilt onto the microscope, decontaminate
according to the standard procedures for your facility.
12. Notes on handling flammable solvents
The following flammable solvents are used with the product:
• Immersion oil (Nikon Immersion Oil for oil immersion objectives)
• Absolute alcohol (ethyl alcohol or methyl alcohol for cleaning optical parts)
• Petroleum benzine (for wiping off the immersion oil)
• Medical alcohol (for disinfecting the microscope)
Never hold a flame near these solvents. When using a solvent, thoroughly read the instructions
provided by the manufacturer, and handle correctly and safely. Note the following precautions
when using solvents with the product.
• Keep solvents away from the lamp, the lamphouse, the power supply device, and any other
parts that may become hot.
• Keep solvents away from the product and its surroundings when turning on/off the power
switch or plugging/unplugging the power cord.
• Be careful not to spill the solvents.
