The microscope digital camera DP26 is designed to be connected to a camera adapter mounted on an Olympus

UIS2/UIS series microscope for recording of microscopic magnified images.

When the DP26 is used with a camera adapter from other manufacturers than Olympus, the optical performance

may not be fully manifested.

Descriptions in Instruction Manual

This Instruction Manual contains only the descriptions of the microscope digital camera DP26. For procedures to use

the connection kit of the microscope digital camera, refer to the Instruction Manual of the relevant connection kit.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be endangered. 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 a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or

moderate injury or damage to the equipment or other property. It may also be used to

alert against unsafe practices.

} : Indicates commentary (for ease of operation and maintenance).

CAUTION

DP26

IMPORTANT

1. Before connecting or disconnecting a connection cable or power cord, make sure that the main switch of the

camera or PC is set to OFF. When connecting a cable or power cord, push in the connector all the way before

pressing the main switch to ON.

2. To avoid electric shock or equipment failure, never connect or disconnect a cable while the main switch is set to

ON.

3. If the main switch of the camera is turned OFF using DP26, PC the application may malfunction. Be sure not to turn

OFF the switch during using DP26.

4. Always use the AC adapter provided by Olympus. Using a similar but non-Olympus AC adapter does not only allow

the camera to manifest its full performance but may also cause an equipment failure as well as a burn or fire hazard

due to abnormal heating. Never use such an AC adapter.

5. The cords and cables are vulnerable to bend or twist. Do not apply excessive force to them. Also distribute the cords

and cables away from a heat-generating part such as the lamp housing of the microscope.

6. To prevent the microscope from toppling down, avoid using microscope attachments that may make the total height

of the microscope above 1 meter when they are attached.

7. The camera head generates heat after they have been used for a long period of time. To avoid moderate

temperature burn, do not leave these parts in extended contact with your skin.

8. Connect the power cord correctly and ensure that the grounding terminals of the power supply and wall outlet

are properly connected. If the equipment is not grounded properly, Olympus can not warrant the electrical safety

performance of the equipment.

9. Sharp edges inside the computer may cut your fingers, so take extra care.

10. Do not permit tools or metal fragments to get into air vents, or other apertures. Doing so could cause failure of the

microscope digital camera DP26 or electric shock to the user.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Safety Symbols

The following symbols are found on the microscope. Study the meaning of the symbols and always use the equipment

in the safest possible manner.

Symbol Explanation

Indicates that the main switch is ON.

Indicates that the main switch is OFF.

This product is intended to be used for capture of digital images, but not for clinical diagnostic purposes.

1 Intended use

DP26

1. The camera head uses precision components. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to a sudden or severe

impact. Also note that the camera head does not have a waterproof construction.

2. If the microscope digital camera is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be

imperiled. In addition, the microscope digital camera may also be damaged. Always use the microscope digital

camera as outlined in this instruction manual.

3. Do not use the camera in areas where it may be subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, dust or

vibrations. (For the operating environment conditions, see “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 23.)

4. The image displayed on the monitor may be affected when it is used near equipment generating strong

electromagnetic waves. To avoid interference during operation, keep the system far from any source of

electromagnetic waves.

5. Never set the main switch of the camera to “ \ ” (OFF) or unplug the camera cable or AC adapter during use of the

DP26. Otherwise, the PC application may malfunction.

6. Since we are not responsible for any image data, please be sure to check images, backup or edit the data on your

own.

7. If cables are connected incorrectly, the product may malfunction. Be sure that every unit is connected correctly

before operating the product.

8. For operating the PC, refer to the instruction manual of the PC in use. Pay attention to the precautions and warnings,

etc. in the manual.

2 Handling Precautions

1. To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirt 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 with gauze slightly moistened with commercially available

absolute alcohol.

• Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully. To prevent fire ignition, be sure

to keep it away from open flames or potential sources of electric sparks -- for example, electrical equipment

that is being switched on or off.

• Also remember to always use these chemicals only in a well-ventilated room.

2. Parts other than the glass components should be cleaned by wiping with a clean cloth. Do not use organic solvents

to remove major stains. Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a neutral detergent solution.

3. Do not disassemble any part of the camera as this could result in malfunction or reduced performance.

4. Before disposing of this product, be sure to follow the regulations and rules of your local government.

5. When the system is not used, store it with the dust cover. Before storage, ensure that the main switches of the

camera head and the microscope are set to OFF and that the camera head, AC adaptor and lamp housing is cool

enough.

6. When smoking the room for cleaning, etc., move the DP26 to a place not exposed to smoke.

7. Care is required against condensation as this may sometimes cause malfunction. Condensation is the

phenomenon in which the vapor in the air is condensed into water drops, which attach to the surface of a metallic

plate, etc. It often occurs when the ambient temperature changes suddenly, for example when a camera is brought

from cold outdoors into warm indoors.

CAUTION

3 Maintenance and Storage

DP26

4 Cautions for using

Image data

The recorded image data may be lost (destroyed) in the following cases. Note that Olympus will not assume any

liabilities for the loss (destruction) of recorded data. The image data may also be destroyed by an unexpected cause. It

is recommended to back up the data periodically.

· When the user or a third party services or repairs the equipment.

· When the PC or control box is shut down, the AC adapter is disconnected or the power cord is unplugged during

recording or erasure (formatting) of the PC or control box.

· In case when continuing to save the data for the period exceeding the life time of data storage of USB memory,

(approx. 1 to several years).

· When the equipment fails.

Please note if following cases may occur though the camera is working properly, the image restoration or the

compensation for damages are not guaranteed.

· The image is abnormal.

· File properties e.g. file names, file time, etc. are abnormal.

· The image is lost.

} In general, as the data retention lifetime is set in the electronic memory media, e.g. USB memory, HDD, CD-R,

DVD-R, etc., the saved files may be lost after several years.

} The image data may be disappeared (destroyed) unexpectedly. Be sure to backup the data on regular base.

} Make sure that there is no problem when acquiring the subjects before acquisition. Please note that even though

the problem may occur caused by the acquired images, Olympus will not be responsible for these problems.
