Olympus bx40 - Section A BX40 Frame, Objectives, and Condenser

BX40
This unit employs a UIS optical system, and should be used only with UIS eyepieces, objectives, and
| condensers. Less than optimum performance may result if inappropriate accessory lenses are used.
εξ Getting Ready
1. The microscope is a delicate instrument. Handle it carefully and protect
it from physical shock
2. The BX40 can be used with up to two intermediate tubes (e.g. a U-CA
magnification changer and/or U-EPA eyepoint adjusters). However, be
sure to read the instructions provided with the respective intermediate
tube for restrictions when using two tubes in series on top of each
other
3. Avoid locations that are exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature or
humidity, dusty places, and places that are subject to strong vibrations.
Make sure that the work surface is flat and level. (Ambient temperature
and humidity should be in the range 0-40°C, 30-90%.)
4. When moving the microscope, carry it With both hands by holding it at
the arm as shown at left. Handle it carefully.
* Damage to the microscope may result if you hold it by the stage,
coarse adjustment knob, or lamp housing. Please be very careful.
5. Set the voltage selector switch on the left rear of the base to
100-120V or 220-240V position to match the local line voltage using
flat-blade screwdriver. (Before shipment from the factory, the voltage
selector switch is set to 220-240V position). (See figure at left.)
Ground the unit to avoid potential shock hazard
7. For safety's sake, always turn off the power switch and disconnect the
power cord before changing the halogen bulb or fuse.
= Care and Frame
Clean lenses by wiping lightly with gauze. To remove fingerprints or other oils, dampen the gauze with a very small
quantity of a 7 parts ether /3 parts alcohol solution, or with Xylol
A Since ether and alcohol are highly flammable, be careful to keep these chemicals away from an open
flame and possible sources of electrical sparks, such as power switches.
2. Do not use organic solvents to clean the microscope. To clean plastic parts, use a neutral detergent
Do not disassemble any part of the microscope
When not using the microscope, keep it covered with the provided dust cover
