Getting Ready
1. A microscope is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to sudden or severe impact.
2. Do not use the microscope where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, dust or vibrations. (For
operating conditions, see Chapter 8, “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 48).
3. An intermediate attachment with a thickness of up to 60 mm can be mounted between the microscope frame and
binocular observation tube (U-BI90CT, U-BI90).
· If the U-BI90CT is used together with an intermediate attachment, the image may be cut off or obscured.
4. The oil-proof cap can only be mounted on a UIS Series 3 objective. Note that this does not change optical performance.
(For applicable objectives, see page 26.)
5. Restrictions in brightfield, phase contrast and DIC observations
· Deterioration in the optical performance will occur when the optional 2X magnification changer is installed in the
U-BI90CT.
(The deterioration can be improved by adding the U-EPA2 eye-point adjuster.)
· With the combination of U-TR30H + U-FWO, the full optical performance may not be able to be manifested with the
objectives listed in
1
below and it is not possible to use the objectives listed in
2
below. (This applies to objectives
other than Series 3.)
