Operation Manual

Ɣ If the filter turret is not filled with five filter cubes, there is the risk that UV rays will reach the eyes

through an empty space,causing serious harm.

Ɣ Never perform lamp centering without the UV filter cube in the optical path as harmful UV radiation

from the lamp may enter the eyes, possibly resulting in loss of vision.

x During operation with the Mercury lamp always block the reflected light beam path by using the

Shutter slider during operating the microscope in transmitted light working mode.
