Attaching the illuminator
Attach the illuminator to the objective. For the objective of 0.5x,
the illuminator is attached directly. For the objective of 1x
magnification, use the adapter. (See the item above.)
1. Fully loosen the thumbscrew (clamp screw) on the side
of the illuminator.
2. Be careful not to damage the objective. Attach the
illuminator to the tip of the objective so that the LEDs
are facing downward.
3. Fully raise the illuminator and fix it with the
thumbscrew (clamp screw).
The tip of the thumbscrew catches the groove of the
objective and the illuminator is fixed.

WARNING
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
1.
Intended application of the product: This product must be used only for microscopic observation. Do not use this
product for other purpose.
2.
Do not disassemble: Disassembling this product may result in electric shocks or other hazards. Malfunctions and
damage due to disassembling are unwarranted. Never attempt to disassemble any part other than the parts described in

equipment used with this product. In particular, observe all warnings and cautions of each manual.
4.
Cautions about the power cord: Make sure to use the specified power cord for the AZ-LED. Using a wrong power cord
may result in malfunctions or fire. For specifications of the power cord, refer to “Specifications.” To prevent an electric
shock, turn off the power switch of the product whenever connecting or disconnecting the power cord.
CAUTION
1.
Handle with care: The product and the microscope system are precision optical instruments. Handle the product
with care to avoid shock or impact. In particular, objectives may loose accuracy when exposed to even a weak
physical shock.
2.
Do not wet the product or allow foreign matter to get inside: Never allow water to come into contact with the
product because that may cause an electric shock or malfunction. Similarly, if foreign matter gets inside, an electric
shock or malfunction may occur. If water or foreign matter enters the product, do not use the product but contact your

Installation location: Being a precision optical instrument, the microscope may get damaged or loose accuracy if it
is used or stored under unsuitable conditions. When selecting the installation location, note the following:
• Avoid a brightly lit location, such as exposed to direct sunlight or directly under a room light. The image
quality deteriorates if there is excessive ambient light.
• Always install the microscope with a surrounding clear area of 10 cm or more.
• Choose a location that is free from dust or dirt.
• Choose a flat surface with little vibration.
• Choose a sturdy desk or table that is able to bear the weight of the instrument.
• Do not install the microscope in a hot or humid location.
• Select a layout that allows easy removal of the power cord from the microscope’s AC inlet in the event of an
emergency.
• For details about the operating environment and storage environment, see “Specifications.”
5.
Weak electromagnetic waves: The product emits weak electromagnetic waves. Do not install the product near
precision electronic devices to prevent degrading their performance. If a TV or radio reception is affected, move the
TV or radio set farther from the product.
