Decontamination
1. With this microscope, the irradiation of the general germicidal lamp installed on the safety cabinet or the clean bench is
available.
・The irradiation of the general germicidal lamp may change the appearance of the microscope, e.g. slight dis-
coloration or elimination of shiny coat, etc.
・When sterilizing with ultraviolet rays, remove the standard stage center plate in advance. If the standard stage
center plate is exposed to the ultraviolet rays, it may be discolored to yellow.
2. If the culture liquid is attached to the units, moisten a piece of cleaning paper with alcohol aqueous solution of approx.
70% concentration and wipe it. If the culture liquid enters the units, remove the units and clean, and sterilize them. (For
procedures to remove the units, see the chapter "7 Assembly ".)
If the culture liquid enters the area where you cannot reach even though the units are removed and, therefore, you cannot
clean and sterilize, contact Olympus for assistance.
Storage / Disposal
1. After using this product, turn OFF the main switches of the microscope frame CKX53SF, power supply for mercury burner
U-RFL-T or light guide illumination system U-HGLGPS, wait until the lamp housing is cooled down sufficiently, and keep it
covered with a dust cover during storage.
2. Before disposing of this product, be sure to follow the regulations and rules of your local government. Contact Olympus for
any questions.
Mercury burner
1. If the hour counter of the power supply unit shows 300 hours, set the main switch to \ (OFF) for safety purpose, wait 10
minutes or more and replace the burner. (See page 41.)
The mercury burner contains high-pressure gas in the tube. If you keep using the mercury burner exceeding
its lifetime significantly, the distortion accumulates in the glass tube to cause the explosion in rare cases.
In case that the mercury burner explodes
Follow the procedures below in case that the mercury burner explodes.
• Unplug the power cord from the outlet. Leave the place and ventilate for at least 30 minutes.
• After the burner and the lamp housing have cooled down, collect the remaining mercury with packing tape, paper or
dropper, etc.
• Seal the collected mercury and tools used completely in a nonmetallic container, and ask the waste disposer to
dispose of them.
• If there is any possibility that you have inhaled mercury steam, consult the doctor immediately and follow his/her
instructions.
2. The used mercury burner must be disposed as industrial waste. If you cannot dispose of it properly, please contact
Olympus.
