 Notes on Handling the System

Notes on Handling the System

(1) Installation
This microscope is a precision instrument. Using the microscope in an unfavorable environment
could result in malfunctions or degraded performance. Consider the following conditions when
choosing the installation location.

• Observation conditions are better if light from windows and bright room light can be
avoided.

• Install the microscope in a location with a room temperature of 0° to 40°C and with a
maximum relative humidity of 85%. High temperature and humidity are to be avoided
because they promote mold growth and condensation, which may damage the
microscope.

• Dirt and dust degrade optical performance and are to be avoided.

• Vibrations in the environment will degrade the image. Install the microscope in a
location free of vibrations.

• Install the microscope on a solid table and keep the microscope level.

• Select a layout that allows easy detachment of the power cord from the AC inlet of this
microscope in the event of emergency.

• This microscope emits a feeble electromagnetic wave. Do not place a precision

electronic device near the microscope as precision could be degraded. Also, avoid
placing a radio or TV near the microscope as reception of sound and images may be
hampered.

(2) Carrying the Microscope

This microscope is a precision instrument. Handle it gently. Strong
shocks and forcible operation will damage the instrument. Shocks to
the objectives, especially, could degrade image precision.

• When carrying the microscope, hold it at its upper rear and lower
front ends.

• Do not hold the focus knobs, the eyepiece tube, or the stage.
These parts could easily come off and could result in
malfunctions.

(3) Handling the Lamps

Do not touch the glass part of the lamp with bare hands. Wear gloves or use a cloth when
handling the lamp so as not to leave fingerprints on the surface. Wipe off any fingerprints or
stains using a clean cloth moistened with alcohol. Fingerprints will etch into the hot surface of
the lamp and reduce the brightness, damage the lamp or reduce its service life.

Handle the lamp gently. Shocks and vibrations will damage the lamp or reduce its service life.

When changing the lamp, be sure that the contact is not damaged. If the contact is damaged,
the lamp may not light up or may overheat. Insert the lamp’s contact pins fully into the socket
holes. If the pins are loose, the lamp could come off or result in a contact failure, which will
cause overheating or smoke. Also, make sure that the field lens unit is securely attached.

Do not break the used lamps ; instead dispose of them as special industrial waste or according
to the laws applicable to your municipal waste system.

44
 Notes on Handling the System

(4) Refocusing
When changing specimens using the refocusing
mechanism, gently lower the stage by hand taking
care not to hit the field lens with the condenser holder
(p. 60).

Make sure
not to hit the
field lens.

(5) Focus Knobs

Do not turn the right and left focus knobs
simultaneously in opposite directions. Do not turn the
coarse focus knob any further after the stage has
been moved up or down to its limit. These operations
will damage the focusing mechanism.
(The coarse focus knob has a protection device. The
knob turns freely for a while after it has reached its
upper limit.)
Do not turn the
knobs in opposite
directions.

(6) Oil-Immersion Observation

Use only a minimum quantity of oil. If too much oil is applied, surplus oil could flow out to the
stage and the condenser which could lead to degraded performance.

WARNING

When using petroleum benzine or absolute alcohol to wipe off immersion oil or
to clean the lenses, follow the instructions provided by their manufacturers.
Absolute alcohol and petroleum benzine are inflammable. Take great care when
handling them.

(7) Shipping Clamps

The microscope is held tightly by the clamps during shipment. Be sure to remove the clamps
before use. For details, see p. 69.

 Chapter 4 Microscopy (Detailed Procedure)

Focusing

Turning the focus knobs recklessly is a long and hard way to focus on the image. If you are using
a high power objective, you may even damage the specimen by pressing it against the objective.
Before breaking the coverglasses or damaging the objectives, read the following and find the
correct way to focus on the specimen.

(1) Put the 10x (or 4x) objective in the optical path.

(2) Turn the coarse focus knob to raise the stage to its upper limit. *1

(3) Looking into the eyepieces, slowly rotate the coarse focus knob to lower the
stage. When the specimen image appears, stop rotating the knob.

(4) Rotate the fine focus knob and precisely focus on the image.
When you want to observe the image with a high power objective, first focus
on the image using a 10x (or 4x) objective. Then change to a high power
objective and rotate the fine focus knob for precise focusing.

2. When raising the stage using the coarse focus knob, take your eyes
off the eyepieces and look at the gap between the upper surface of
the specimen and the front of the objective from the side.

3. First focus with a low power objective. Then change to a high power
objective.

*1: Since the working distances of 10x and 4x objectives are large (p. 75), these objectives do not
touch the specimen even when the stage is raised to its upper limit provided that the slide and
coverglasses of a standard thickness are used. (The standard thickness for slides is 1.2 mm and
that for coverglass is 0.17 mm.)

 Chapter 4 Microscopy (Detailed Procedure)

Adjusting the Aperture Diaphragm

The aperture size is increased or decreased by rotating the condenser aperture diaphragm lever.
If the aperture diaphragm is closed, the brightness and resolution are decreased but the contrast
and range of focus are increased. If the aperture diaphragm is opened, the brightness and
resolution are increased but the contrast and range of focus are decreased.

Generally, a good image of sufficient contrast can be achieved with the aperture diaphragm
closed to approximately 70% - 80% of the objective’s numerical aperture. Since the image
resolution will be degraded when the aperture diaphragm is closed too much, do not close the
aperture diaphragm to less than 60% of the objective’s numerical aperture except when
observing a specimen with low contrast, such as a near-transparent specimen. 4
The aperture diaphragm controls the numerical aperture of the illumination. Do not use it to
control brightness. Use the brightness control dial to control the brightness.

• The objective’s numerical aperture is indicated on the side of the objective.

40x / 0.65 = magnifying power 40x, numerical aperture 0.65

• To observe the diaphragm image, remove the eyepiece and look down the open
tube. (The eyepiece is fastened to the eyepiece tube. Loosen the screw before
removing the eyepiece.)

• The figures on the condenser show the approximate positions of the aperture
diaphragm lever corresponding to each objective magnification. (When the
aperture diaphragm lever is moved to that position, the size of the aperture
diaphragm will be 70% - 80% of the objective’s numerical aperture.) Each
time you switch the objective, align the aperture diaphragm lever to the same
figure as the magnifying power of the objective to get a good image with
sufficient contrast.

Replacing a Specimen Using the

Refocusing Mechanism

Try focusing on the specimen with 40x or higher magnification objective. You will find the
specimen is brought very near to the objective.*1 It will be very difficult to change the specimen
without moving the focus knob. In a case like this, use the refocusing mechanism for easy
specimen replacement.

(1) Use one hand to gently press down

the stage.*2

(2) While holding the stage at that position,

change the specimen.

(3) Gradually release the stage so that it rises

slowly. The stage will return to the focal
position.

Make sure not to

hit the field lens.

*1： The distance between the front of the objective and the specimen when the specimen is in focus is
called the “working distance” of the objective. For details, see p. 74.

*2： When lowering the stage, take great care not to hit the field lens with the condenser and the parts
under the condenser

60
 Chapter 4 Microscopy (Detailed Procedure)

Using the Working Distance for Focusing

Each objective has its working distance indicated on its side. The working distance is the distance
between the front of the objective and the specimen when the specimen image is in focus. If you
have difficulties in focusing with the standard procedure described on p. 56, try one of the
following methods using the working distance for focusing.

Method 1:
While looking at the microscope from the side, rotate the coarse focus knob to bring the specimen
close to the objective. When the distance between the specimen and the front of the objective
becomes slightly smaller than the working distance, take your hands off the coarse focus knob.
The specimen is now almost in focus. Look into the eyepieces and rotate the fine focus knob in
the direction that lowers the stage.

Raise the stage until Lower the stage

point.

Method 2:
Swing the 40x objective into the optical path. While looking at the microscope from the side,
rotate the coarse focus knob until the specimen almost touches the objective (about 0.5 mm
apart from the front of the objective). The specimen is now almost in focus. Switch to the 10x
objective, look into the eyepieces, and rotate the fine focus knob slightly to find the focal point.
Be careful not to hit the objective with the specimen.

11 Turning Off the Lamp

Turning off the power switch (turn to “{”) switches off the lamp.
When storing the microscope:

• Unplug the power cord.

• Wait until the field lens unit is cool enough to touch.

• Return the binocular part to its lowest position.

• Cover the microscope with the vinyl dust cover. (Before covering the microscope, make sure
that the field lens unit is cool enough to touch.)

• When carrying the microscope, hold it at its upper rear and lower front ends.

5 Miscellaneous Operations

1 Oil-Immersion Observation

The “Oil” mark on the side of an objective indicates that it is an oil-immersion type objective.
(The oil-immersion objective also has a black band around the barrel end.) An oil-immersion
objective is used with the immersion oil applied between the front of the objective and the
coverglass. For an oil-immersion objective with a numerical aperture of 1.0 or more, use of an
oil-immersion type condenser is required to take full advantage of its performance. An
oil-immersion type condenser, like an oil-immersion type objective, needs immersion oil to be
applied between the front of the condenser and the coverglass.
The abbe condenser included in the bright viewfield set can be used for oil immersion
observation. The condenser has an oil receptacle around its front lens.

● Example of Oil-Immersion
Condenser:
Move the specimen toward the back and lower
the condenser slightly. Add a drop of oil on the
front of the condenser from the long hole on the
stage. Bring the specimen back over the
condenser and slowly raise the condenser.

Objective:
Rotate the revolving nosepiece to move the
objective out of position. Add a drop of oil to
the specimen. Slowly rotate the revolving
nosepiece to bring the objective back into
position.

● Eliminate Air Bubbles

Make sure that air bubbles are not trapped during oil application. Air bubbles degrade the
image. To see if any air bubbles are trapped in the oil, remove one eyepiece and fully open
the aperture diaphragm (and field diaphragm, if the microscope has the field diaphragm).
Look into the eyepiece tube and check the objective pupil (a bright round part). If you
cannot see it well, replace one of the eyepieces with the adapter and the centering telescope
(both optional) and look through the eyepieces of the centering telescope while rotating the
eyepiece part of the centering telescope.
Do any of the following to eliminate air bubbles:

• Rotate the revolving nosepiece to move the objective back and forth.

• Gently rotate the condenser focus knob to move the condenser up and down.

• Add another drop of oil.

• Wipe off the oil and apply again.

● Handling of the Immersion Oil

Use a minimum quantity of oil. If too much oil is applied, surplus oil could flow out onto the
stage and the condenser and degrade performance.
After completing oil-immersion observation, be sure to clean the objective, condenser, and
any other parts that may be stained by oil. Any oil residue left on the lenses of oil-immersion
type objectives or adhesion of oils on the front lens of dry type objectives will degrade image
quality.
Use petroleum benzine to wipe off oil and finish with absolute alcohol (ethyl or methyl
alcohol). If petroleum benzine is not available, use methyl alcohol instead. In that case, wipe
off the oil several times (generally 3 or 4 times) as the detergency of methyl alcohol is
weaker than petroleum benzine.

WARNING
When handling petroleum benzine and absolute alcohol, be sure to follow
the instructions provided by the manufacturers. Since they are highly
flammable take great care when handling them.

● Cautions on Handling the Immersion Oil

• Close the container cap tightly after use. Make sure that the cap is closed tight after
refilling the container. Check the cap periodically to make sure it has not come loose,
allowing oil to leak out.

• Do not press the container hard. Oil could splash out.

• If you find an oil drips around the container, wipe them off.

• Avoid contact of immersion oil with eyes or skin. In the event of contact with eyes or skin,
take one of the following measures although Nikon immersion oil does not contain any
toxic ingredients.

◊ Contact with skin: Rinse your skin thoroughly with soap and water.

◊ Contact with eye: Rinse your eye thoroughly with water (more than 15
minutes) and see a doctor.

• Do not leave immersion oil in the sun (ultraviolet rays can damage it).

using a supplied hexagonal wrench and
screw it into the right hole.

Note:The upper limit bolt may not work well

depending on the thickness of the specimen
or the microscope itself. The specimen may
touch the 40x objective or the stage may be
stopped by the limit before the specimen

 Chapter 5 Miscellaneous Operations

6 ND Filter for the Objective

● TV Relay Lenses
For the C-mount CCTV camera, 0.6x, 0.45x and 0.35x relay lenses are available. Select the
magnification of the relay lens according to the size of the photographic element. When a
3CCD TV camera is used with some relay lenses, the colors of the video image may blur. For
details, ask your nearest Nikon representative.

● Color Tone
The color tone of the light from the lamp varies with the position of the brightness control
dial. If the dial is turned clockwise and the voltage is increased, the light has a bluish tone. If
the voltage is reduced, the light has a reddish tone.
Attach the provided blue filter to the bottom of the condenser and check the color tone of the
specimen.

● Uneven Viewfield Brightness

When a 4x objective is used for the photomicrographic equipment or digital still camera, the
viewfield may look partially dark. Make the brightness of the viewfield uniform using one of
the following methods.

• Lower the condenser.

Slightly lower the condenser to take more space between the specimen and the condenser.
If the microscope is equipped with a field diaphragm, the field diaphragm image may blur
slightly.

• Use a phase-contrast condenser and diffuser slider (both optional).

Attach the phase-contrast condenser and the diffuser to the microscope. When the diffuser
is inserted into the optical path, the amount of light will drop to about 60% of its initial
value. Also, you will not be able to see the field diaphragm in the viewfield.

6 ND Filter for the Objective

When observing the specimen with 10x and 40x objectives in turns, placing an ND3 filter
(specially designed for objectives; optional) to the rear end of the 10x objective will facilitate
the observation. With the ND filter attached, you will have the same brightness and color
tones for both 10x and 40x objectives without adjusting the brightness control dial.

2 Microscope Terminology

(1) Total Magnification

The total magnification of a microscope is the individual magnifying power of the
objective multiplied by that of the eyepiece.

(2) Numerical aperture (N.A.)

The numerical aperture is an important factor in determining the efficiency of the
condenser and objective. It is represented by the formula:

N.A. = n sin α
7
where n is the refractive index of the medium (air, immersion oil, etc.) between the
objectivelens and the specimen or condenser, and α is half of the maximum angle at
which light enters or leaves the lens from or to a focused object point on the optical
axis.
The larger the numerical aperture the brighter the image and the higher the resolution.

(3) Resolving Power

The ability of an optical system to discriminate between two discrete objects separated
by a minute distance. The more minute the distance, the higher the resolving power of
the optical system. In relation to the numerical aperture, the resolving power is
represented by the following formula:

Resolving power = λ
2 × Ν.Α.

where λ is the used wavelength of light. (The resolving power in the above table is
indicated for λ= 0.55µm.)

(4) Working Distance (W.D.)

The clearance between the front of the objective and the upper surface of the
coverglass, when a specimen image is sharply focused. Generally, the higher the
magnifying power of the objective, the shorter the working distance.

75
 Chapter 7 Optical Characteristics

2 Microscope Terminology

(5) Field Number of the Eyepiece

The diameter of the opening of the fieldstop inside the eyepiece measured in mm.
When an eyepiece has an indication of “10x / 20”, it means that the magnification is
10x and the field number is 20 for that eyepiece.

(6) Real Viewfield

The diameter in mm of the field of view observable through the eyepiece.
Real viewfield = field number of eyepiece / magnification of objective

(7) Depth of Focus

The depth (thickness) of the specimen image in focus, extending above and below the
focused image plane. The larger the N.A. of the objective, the shallower the depth of
focus.

Depth of focus (µm) = nλ ＋ n ×1000

2 × Ν.Α.2 7 × M × Ν.Α.

Above is an approximation assuming the resolving power of an eye as 2 minutes.λ is

the wavelength of light used. (The depth of focus in the table on P.75 is indicated forλ
= 0.55µm.)
n is the refractive index of a medium between the objective lens and the specimen or
condenser. (n = 1, when the medium is air, and n = about 1.5 when the medium is
oil.)
M is the total magnification (= the individual magnifying power of the objective x that
of the eyepiece).

9 Care and Maintenance

1 Cleaning the Lenses

• Dust is best removed using a soft brush or gauze.

• More persistent dirt, such as fingerprints, grease and oil, may be removed with lens tissue
(or soft cotton, gauze) lightly moistened with absolute alcohol (anhydrous ethyl alcohol or
methyl alcohol; do not use rubbing alcohol).

• To clean immersion oil off the oil-immersion type objective, use lens tissue, soft cotton or
gauze lightly moistened with petroleum benzine. If petroleum benzine is not available, use
methyl alcohol. In this case, you need to wipe three or four times because the detergency
of the methyl alcohol is somewhat weak.

• Absolute alcohol and petroleum benzine are quite inflammable. Take great care when
handling them and when turning the power switch on and off. Be very careful with fire.

2 Cleaning the Microscope

• We recommend that you use a silicon cloth to clean the microscope.

• For persistent dirt, dampen a piece of gauze with neutral detergent and wipe lightly.

• Using organic solvent could result in discoloration of the plastic parts.

3 Disinfecting the Microscope

• We recommend that you use 70% medical alcohol for normal disinfection of the
microscope.

• In case of contact of a sample to the microscope , determine whether the sample is

hazardous. If the sample is hazardous, follow the standard procedure of your laboratory.

• Using organic solvent could result in discoloration of the plastic parts.

4 When Not in Use

• When the microscope is not in use, cover with the vinyl dust cover, and store it in a dry
place where mold is not likely to form.

• Make sure that the power switch is off (turned to “{”) and the lamp is cool enough to
touch before covering with the vinyl dust cover.

• We especially recommend that the objectives and eyepieces be kept in a container (such
as a desiccator) with desiccant in it.

5 Periodical Inspections
• To maintain the performance of the microscope, periodical inspections and maintenance
are recommended.

• For details, contact your nearest Nikon representative.
