NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
FCC WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

IMPORTANT
This microscope employs a UIS2 (UIS) (Universal Infinity System) optical design, and should be used only
with UIS2 (UIS) eyepieces, objectives and condensers for the BX2 series. (Some of the modules de-
signed for the BX series are also usable. For details, please consult Olympus or the latest catalogue.)
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Install the microscope on a sturdy, level table or bench so as not to
block the air vents on the underside of the base.
2. When moving the microscope, carefully carry it with the grasping part on
the arm as shown in Fig. 1 (Weight: approx. 15 kg).
#Damage to the microscope will occur if you grasp it by other parts
including the stage, lamp socket or tube.
#Before transporting the microscope, be sure to remove the speci-
men and eyepieces so that they will not drop. Also remove other
modules attached to the microscope because they increase the
system weight.
3. The surface of the lamp housing @ becomes very hot during operation.
Before installing the lamp housing, be sure to reserve enough space
around, particularly above, the lamp housing.
4. To avoid potential shock hazards and burns when replacing the light
bulb, set the main switch ² to “ ” (OFF) then disconnect the power
cord from the wall outlet in advance. Whenever you replace the bulb
during use or right after use, allow the lamp housing @ and bulb to cool
before touching (Fig. 2).

halogen bulbs 12V100WHAL-L (PHILIPS 7724)
12V50WHAL-L (LIFE JC)
#The microscope also incorporates a fuse (this should be replaced
by the manufacturer or authorized agent).
5. Always use the power cord provided by Olympus. If no power cord is
provided, please select the proper power cord by referring to the chapter
“PROPER SELECTION OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD” at the end of
this instruction manual. If the proper power cord is not used, product
safety and performance cannot be guaranteed.
6. Always ensure that the grounding terminal of the microscope and that
of the wall outlet are properly connected. If the equipment is not grounded,
Olympus can no longer warrant the electrical safety and performance of
the equipment.
7. Never insert metal objects, etc. into the air vents of the microscope frame
as this could result in electrical shock and personal injury.
8. The microscope system will be unstable when its height is increased by
attached accessories. Take proper measures so that the system will not
topple down.

Warnings
1Getting 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
the operating conditions, refer to chapter 6, “SPECIFICATIONS”.)
3. The BX51M can be used with an intermediate attachment such as a U-CA magnification changer or U-EPA2 eyepoint
adjuster.
2Maintenance and Storage
1. To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirty away using a commercially available blower and wipe
gently using a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze).
If a lens is stained with fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe it gauze slightly moistened with commercially available absolute
alcohol.
!Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully.
Be sure to keep it away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks –– for example, electrical
equipment that is being switched on or off.
Also remember to always use it only in a well-ventilated room.
2. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the microscope components other than the glass components. To clean
them, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. Never attempt to disassemble any part of the microscope.
4. When not using the microscope, make sure that the lamp socket has cooled down sufficiently and then cover the
microscope with a dust cover.
5. When disposing of the microscope, check the ordinances and rules of your local authority and follow them.

3Caution
If the microscope is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be imperiled. In addition,
the equipment may also be damaged. Always use the equipment as outlined in this instruction manual.
The following symbols are used to set off text in this instruction manual.
!: Indicates that failure to follow the instructions in the warning could result in bodily harm to the
user and/or damage to equipment (including objects in the vicinity of the equipment).
# : Indicates that failure to follow the instructions could result in damage to equipment.
} : Indicates commentary (for ease of operation and maintenance).

REFLECTED LIGHT BRIGHTFIELD/DARKFIELD
OBSERVATION PROCEDURE
}The following flow shows the basic operating procedure for reflected light brightfield or darkfield observation. The operating
procedures for polarized light and Nomarski DIC observations will be described separately in their descriptions.
(Controls Used) (Page)
Select the brightfield (BF) or darkfield (DF) ob-
servation.
Set the main switch to “ I” (ON).
Disengage the analyzer, polarizer,
filter, etc. from the light path.
Check interlocking of the ND filter.
Select the light path (trinocular tube only).
Place the specimen on the stage.
Engage the 10X objective in the light path.
Bring the specimen in focus.
Adjust the brightness.
Adjust the interpupillary distance.
Adjust the diopter.
Adjust the aperture iris diaphragm and field iris
diaphragm.
} Open both iris diaphragms in case of DF ob-
servation.
Engage the desired objective in the light path
and bring the specimen in focus.
Insert the required filters.
Adjust the brightness.
Start observation.

USING THE CONTROLS
3-1 Base
1Voltage Indication (Fig. 3)
1. Turn the brightness adjustment knob @ clockwise to increase the volt-
age and make illumination brighter.
2. The numerals on the left of the lamp voltage LEDs ² indicate the ap-
proximate voltage.
2Using the Light Intensity Preset Switch (Fig. 4)
}The light intensity preset switch @ makes it possible to limit the light
intensity to a preselected level regardless of the position of the bright-
ness adjustment knob. The light intensity preset switch has been preset
before factory shipment to a position which can provide optimum color
reproduction when the U-25LBD filter is engaged in the light path (approx.
9 V mark).
1. Press the light intensity preset switch @ to the ON position. (The switch
lights when it is ON.)
2. Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, turn the preset adjustment screw ²
to obtain the required light intensity. Turning the screw clockwise increases
brightness.
3. When the light intensity preset switch is set to OFF, the brightness returns
to the level set by the brightness adjustment knob.
}While the light intensity preset switch is ON, turning the brightness ad-
justment knob does not affect brightness.
