MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE

1. Maintenance of microscope

1) Fundamental handling

a. Read the instruction manual thoroughly, handle the microscope correctly.

b. Be sure to make a usual cleaning, especially after every use of microscope.

c. When handling the microscope, do not expose it to shock, moisture, heat and dust.

d. If the problem occurs, do not treat it in self-judgement.

2) Using and storing conditions

a.The microscope should be used under no vibration.

If it is placed in such environment as vibration, this causes disturbance and fatigue in

observation and affectsthe photomicrography.

b. It should not be stored in high humidity.

Such condition causes fungus, corrosion on lens and rust on metal part.

Therefore, special caution is exercised if stored in a long period of time.

c. Intense temperature change should be avoided.

Be careful not to place the microscope near window exposed to direct sunlight and air

conditioner. When bringing it into warm room from cold storage location in winter,

condensation occurs on lens and metal part, it causes fungus and rust.

d. It should be kept clean.

The microscope is required to keep away from dust that causes contamination, fungus

on lens and failure of sliding part in the frame.

Be careful not to place it in the environment where the corrodent chemicals such as

hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen fluoride and acid are handled.

2. Guide to maintenance

2-1 Overview of maintenance

Set your correct interpupillary distance.

Note any areas suggesting a need for

mechanical and/or optical maintenance

by operating it or observing a specimen.

Sweep off dust on the outer surfaces

with the soft brush. If there are stains

on the microscope frame, clean them

with neutral detergent.

Remove the revolving nosepiece, stage

and condenser.

Wipe off any dirt spots on the surface.

The plastic parts should be cleaned with

neutral detergent.

Clean all exposed optics such as

lenses of eyepieces and objectives.

(Only the BX41collector lens should

be cleaned with neutral detergent

because it is made of plastic.)

Mount the removed components to

the microscope frame.

Polish all plastic components and the

frame with silicon cloth.

Return the interpupillary distance to

original condition and prepare for

the inspection. (see page 6)

Do a final check following the inspection

sheet in this manual. (See page 7)

Tool required:

1) 2) 3)

4) 5) 6)

8) 9)

Lens tissue Neutral detergent

(For plastic part or frame)

Cotton swab Blower Silicon cloth

(For finishing)

Cleaning solution

(For lens or filter etc.)

Plastic part

collector lens

or tweezers etc.

2-2 Cleaning method for the optical components

Required tools:

1) Lens tissue

2) Cotton swab or tweezers etc. 3) Blower 4)Magnifier (Eyepiece is possible to be usedby turning

it upside down. Refer to page 10.)

5) Cleaning solution: e.g. Alcohol

Before cleaning:Lightly brush the lens surface or blow with the blower before wiping with tissue.

This removes particles that may scratch the lens surface. (to protect the lens coating)

HOW TO CLEAN THE OBJECTIVE LENS

1 2 3 4

Moisten the tip of cotton

swab with cleaning

solution.

With a circular motion,

wipe the top lens

surface with the cotton

swab, to thoroughly

remove any oil or dirt

from the lens.

Dip a new cotton swab

in the cleaning solution

and shake vigorously

to remove any excess

cleaning solution.

wipe the objective lens

from the center towards

the periphery, while

rotating the lens.

When the lens size is large and difference in

level between the lens and the lens frame is small:

Fold the lens tissue several times and moisten it

with cleaning solution.

After that, apply the folded line edge to the center

of lens, push it with index finger and turn the

objective by the other hand to clean the lens

while moving it from the center towards the

periphery.

Cleaning the immersion objective:

Wipe off the immersion oil while absorbing

it with lens tissue that is not moistened.

After that, clean the lens as the same manner

mentioned on the left.

When the top surface of lens frame is higher

than that of lens and remained dirty potion

on the periphery of lens can not be wiped off,

clean the lens referring the above figures,

1 to 4.

Put it on the desk

HOW TO CLEAN THE FILTER

Fold the lens tissue into two or three layers and moisten its shaded part with cleaning

solution.

Hold the filter at its edge and fold the lens paper from the lens center to outside as illustrated.

Move the lens tissue gradually to outside while turning the filter by left hand.

HOW TO CLEAN THE PRISM

Hold a sheet of lens tissue between your middle and index fingers, then fold and wrap it around

your index finger. Hold the tissue down with your thumb and moisten it with sufficient cleaning solution.

Wipe the prism surfaces from front to backward at a stroke, applying even pressure.

1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6)

HOW TO CLEAN THE EYEPIECE

1 2

Wrap a sheet of lens tissue

around a cotton swab as

illustrated. If the area to be

cleaned is large, wrap the

lens tissue looser and

thicker. Otherwise, make a

thin, tight wrap.

Dip the wrapped lens tissue in the

cleaning solution, and wipe the

eyepiece from the center towards

the periphery in a circular motion.

Important notes:

1) Never rub the lens surface strongly.

2) Do not use the same lens tissue to clean more than one lens .

3) Do not moisten the lens tissue with an excessive amount of cleaning solution.

4) When cleaning with tweezers, be careful not to protrude its tip from the lens tissue.

3. Preparing for inspection

ADJUSTMENT OF KOEHLER ILLUMINATION

1) Set the main switch “A”to “I”(ON) and adjust the brightness by turning the adjustment knob “B”.

2) Set the light path selector knob “C”to the pushed-in position.

(Pushed-in position: Binocular 100%, Middle position: Binocular 20% Photo/TV 80%,

Pulled-out position: Photo/TV 100%)

3) Place a specimen on the stage.

4) Engage the 10X objective in the light path.

5) Turn the condenser height adjustment knob “D”to raise the condenser to its upper limit.

( When using the U-SC3 swing-out condenser, move the top lens into the light path.)

6) Looking through the eyepiece in the right sleeve without the diopter adjustment ring, turn the

coarse and fine focus adjustment knobs to bring the specimen into focus.

7) Looking through the eyepiece in the left sleeve with the diopter adjustment ring, turn only the

diopter adjustment ring “E”to focus on the specimen.

(At this time, adjust the interpupillary distance so that the binocular visions on the left and

right fields of view coincide completely.)

8) Turn the field iris diaphragm ring “F”in the direction of the arrow so that the iris diaphragm image

comes inside the field of view.

9) Manipulate the condenser height adjustment knob “D”to focus on the iris diaphragm image. (See Fig.1)

10) Turn the two condenser centering screws “G”to move the iris diaphragm image to the center

of field of view. (See Fig. 2)

11) Gradually open the field iris diaphragm. The condenser is properly centered if the iris diaphragm

image is centered and inscribed in the field of view. (See Fig.3)

(During actual use, open the field iris diaphragm slightly until its image circumscribes the field

of view. See Fig.4)

Reference: Since the contrast of microscope specimens is ordinary low, setting the condenser

aperture iris diaphragm to between 70% and 80% of the N.A. of the objective in use

is usually recommended. If necessary, adjust the ratio by removing the eyepiece

and looking into the eyepiece sleeve while adjusting the aperture iris diaphragm ring “H”.
