SZ2 series IMPORTANT The SZ2 series of stereo microscopes are provided with ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protection specifications. They are provided with electroconductive coating in their external finish to reduce the surface resistance and grounding lead wires in their standard base or frame to eliminate static electricity from them. To maintain the ESD protection performance, always use the microscope in combination with the NOTE modules described in this manual or options having the ESD protection specifications.

Maintenance 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.

SZ2 series SUMMARY OF OBSERVATION PROCEDURE 2-1 Preparation Ref. Page 1. Confirm the mounting, particularly that of the microscope body............................(Page 15 — 17) 2. Confirm that the eyepieces are positioned correctly with respect to the standard base...................(Page 16) 3.
OPERATION 3-1 Base Using the Stage Plate When reflected light illumination is used, the stage plate can be placed either the white or black surface facing up depending on which side makes the specimen easier to view. · To maintain the ESD performance, use the black surface of NOTE the SZ2-SPBW stage plate.
SZ2 series Adjusting the Diopter (Zoom Confocality Adjustment) The adjustment operation is variable whether the eyepieces use an eyepiece micrometer disks or not. Eyepieces without eyepiece micrometer disk Turn the diopter adjustment rings b of the left and right eyepieces to positions “0”.
Using the High/Low Zoom Magnification Stopper The magnification can be limited in the desired range by setting each stopper on the microscope body (also used as the magnification indices) and the stopper ring on each zoom adjustment knob. The right zoom adjustment knob is used to limit the higher end of the magnification, and the left knob is used to limit the lower end.
SZ2 series Mounting the Eyepiece Micrometer Disk Indication WHSZ10X-H/15X-H/20X-H engraved surface Rotate the disk-mounting ring a of the eyepiece counterclockwise to remove. Prepare an eyepiece micrometer disk b (24 mm dia. x 1.5 mm thick), remove dust and dirt from its surface, and fit it into the disk-mounting ring a so that the engraving on the micrometer disk faces downward.
Using the Auxiliary Objectives All of the auxiliary objectives are provided with the ESD protection performance. · The 0.3X and 0.4X auxiliary objectives cannot be used in NOTE combination with the standard base because their working Microscope body distances are too long. ·...
SZ2 series Adjusting the Confocality of the Camera (SZ61TR) Ensuring the confocality between the observation image and the camera monitor image makes it possible to maintain accurate focusing of the observation image or monitor image even when the light path is switched. Adjust the diopter of the eyepiece (see page 7) and bring the specimen into focus.
Under certain conditions, performance of the microscope may be adversely affected by factors other than defects. If problems occur, please review the following list and take remedial action as needed. If you cannot solve the problem after checking the entire list, please contact Olympus. Problem...
