Introduction

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Observation Methods

Introduction

Fluorescence

observation

This method utilizes the

fluorescence generated

when the specimen is

irradiated with strong light

to observe the specimen

structure or identify the

substance according to the

presence/absence and color

tone of the ﬂ uorescence.

Phase contrast

observation

T h i s m e t h o d m a k e s i t

possible to observe non-

stained specimen (living

specimen) or nearly

transparent specimen by

enhancing the contrast

between brightness and

darkness.

Bright Field

observation

This is the most general

method for use in obser-

vation of stained specimens

and contrasted specimens.

Observation/Acquisition Flow Main Controls

During observation and acquisition, the cover is

kept closed to avoid the risk on the user. However,

when placing or replacement, the cover should be

opened so care is required in these operations.

Caution against

high temperature

This section accommodates

the light source bulb and may

become hot.

Caution against

ﬁ nger being caught

Do not approach your hand or

ﬁ nger to the motorized stage

and motorized revolving

nosepiece.

Caution against

direct view

This section outputs bright

light during ﬂ uorescence

observation. Be careful not to

stare it directly.
