Be sure to always follow these guidelines.
WARNING
1. Intended use of this product
This product is intended only for microscopy. Do not
use it for any other purpose.
2. Do not disassemble
Disassembly may result in damage to the instrument.
Never disassemble any part except as described in this
operation manual. Contact your Nikon representative if
you notice any malfunction of this instrument.
3. Check the input voltage
When using an illuminator, check that the input voltage
displayed on the power supply of the illuminator
matches the operating voltage. Contact your Nikon
representative if the displayed voltage does not match the
operating voltage. Use of an improperly matched
illuminator may result in damage to equipment.
4. Power cord
Always turn the power switch off and unplug the power
cord when replacing the lamp of an illuminator as failure
to do so may result in electric shock or equipment
damage.
5. Heat from the light source
When using an illuminator, do not place cloth or paper or
highly flammable materials, such as gasoline, benzene,
thinner or alcohol, near the lamp as there is a danger of
fire.
• Always use lamps that are of the specified rating only.
For the lamp rating, please refer to the operation
manual.
• Always turn the power switch off and unplug the
power cord when replacing the lamp of a illuminator
as failure to do so may result in electric shock or
equipment damage.
2
CAUTION
1. Caution when replacing lamps
The lamp and the surrounding area become very hot
during and immediately after using the illuminator. Be
careful not to burn yourself. In addition, when replacing
a lamp be sure the lamp has cooled sufficiently.
2. Check the light source
Always use lamps that are of the specified rating only.
Use of a lamp having a different specification may result
in damage to equipment. For the lamp rating, please
refer to the operation manual.

1. Installation location
Note the following points when installing the stereoscopic
microscope.
• Install the microscope in a location with the temperature between
0° and 40°C, and humidity of less than 80%. If installed in a hot
and humid location, mold may form on the lenses or condensation
may occur inside, resulting in reduced performance or damage to
the microscope.
• Do not install the microscope in a location subject to direct
sunlight.
• Install the microscope in a location that is not subject to vibration.
• Install the microscope in a location that is free from dust and dirt.
4
Be sure to always follow these guidelines.
5. Storage
Store the microscope in a location with low humidity where mold is
unlikely to form. Do not store the microscope in a location subject
to direct sunlight or high temperature and humidity. During storage,
place a plastic cover over the equipment to prevent dust
accumulation.
6. Regular inspections
Regular inspections are recommended in order to maintain peak
performance. Please consult your Nikon representative for details
about regular inspections.

■ Total Magnification
The zooming knob on the right has the indication of the zooming
magnification. Total magnification can be calculated by multiplying the
eyepiece magnification by the zooming magnification.
Note) When the auxiliary objective is attached, multiply its
magnification as well.

Antistatic Feature
The SMZ645, the SMZ660, the C-PS/C-PSC plain focusing stand and the
C-W 10X eyepieces are made antistatic. You can enjoy the benefits of this
feature when observing the sample that cannot stand much static. When
using the microscope on this purpose, do not forget to change the stage
plate to antistatic ESD stage plate, and ground the microscope through the
ground jack at the rear of the focusing stand. The φ4 mm grounding
terminal can be inserted in the ground jack.
The following accessories are also made antistatic.
• C-FPS Fluorescence Attachment
• Auxiliary Objectives (all types)
• C-FMB Focusing Mount B
• C-US1 and C-US2 Universal Table Stands
Airtight Feature
The SMZ645, the SMZ660 and the C-W 10X eyepieces are made airtight.
This feature may be convenient when using the microscope in the oil-
misty environment in the factory or for soldering.
Note) Always attach the rubber cap on the rear of the zooming body and
the rubber cover on the eyepiece to hold the airtightness.
