WARNING
1. Intended use of this product
This product is intended only for microscopy. Do not use it for any
other purposes.
2. Do not disassemble.
Disassembling this product may result in electric shock or
malfunction. Do not disassemble any part that is not indicated in
this manual. If you experience problems with the product, please
contact your nearest Nikon representative.
3. Read the instructions thoroughly.
To ensure safety, thoroughly read this manual and the manuals for
other equipment to be used with this product. In particular, be sure
to follow the warnings and cautions at the beginning of the manuals.
4. 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. Please contact your nearest Nikon representative if the
displayed voltage does not match the operating voltage. Use of an
improperly matched illuminator may result in damage to the
equipment.
5. Cautions on the power cord
The power supply is necessary for using the halogen illuminators,
which are accessories. Follow the cautions below for the power
cord.
• To prevent electric shock, turn off the power switch on the power
supply before connecting or disconnecting the power cord.
• For the power supply TN-PSE30W A (for regions with 230 V
power only), the power code is specified. Be sure to use the
specified power cord for the power supply. Use of other power
cords may result in malfunction, overheat, or fire.
(Refer to Power Supply TN-PSE30W A (for regions with 230
V power only) on p.22.)

WARNING
6. Cautions on heat from the light source
The lamp and the lamphouse become extremely hot when the lamp
is turned on. Follow the cautions below to prevent burns and fire.
• To avoid burns, do not touch the lamp and the lamphouse while
the lamp is on or for approximately thirty minutes after it has
been turned off.
• To avoid the risk of fire, do not place fabric, paper, or highly
flammable volatile materials (i.e. gasoline, petroleum benzine,
paint thinner, and alcohol) near the lamphouse while the lamp is
on or for about thirty minutes after it has been turned off.
7. Cautions on lamp replacement
• When replacing the lamp, wait approximately thirty minutes
after turning off the lamp, and make sure that the lamp and the
lamphouse have cooled sufficiently.
• To prevent electric shock and product damage, turn off the power
switch on the power supply before replacing the lamp.

II Microscopy Procedures
• If the microscope has not been assembled, first refer to Chapter III, “Assembly.”
■ Working distance
The distance between the focus plane and the bottom surface of the
zooming body is called “the working distance”. Since the working
distance of the SMZ745T is 115 mm, the focusing will become easier if
you set the zooming body at the position where its bottom surface is 115
mm apart from the sample surface. Refer to Table 1 (p.23) for changing
the working distance when the auxiliary objectives are attached.
10
II
■ Total magnification
The right zooming knob from the viewing side 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.

5 Insert the eyepieces into the eyepiece sleeves.
Be sure that it is inserted all the way to the end of the sleeve.
Note) When inserting the 10X eyepiece, assure that it reaches the end of
the sleeve, because the rubber cover of the 10X eyepiece will
obstruct the view of the sleeve end. When inserting, hold the rubber
cover instead of the diopter ring. If not, it may result in the damage
to the product.

Assembly III
Antistatic Feature
The SMZ745T, the C-PS/C-PSC plain focusing stand and the C-W10X
eyepieces are antistatic. You can enjoy this feature when observing the sample
that cannot stand much static. When using the microscope on this purpose,
change the stage plate to antistatic ESD stage plate and ground the microscope
through the ground jack at the rear of the plain focusing stand. The φ 4 mm
grounding terminal can be inserted into the ground jack.
The following accessories are also antistatic.
• C-FPS Fluorescence Attachment
• Auxiliary Objectives (all types)
• C-FMB Focusing Mount B
• G-US1 and G-US2 Universal Table Stands

WARNING
• When replacing the lamp, wait approximately thirty minutes
after turning off the lamp, and make sure that the lamp and the
lamphouse have cooled sufficiently.
• To prevent electric shock and product damage, turn off the
power switch on the power supply before replacing the lamp.

Note) Do not touch the glass part of the lamp with bare hands as it may
burn and stick to your skin, possibly reducing its level of light
output or causing damage to the lamp. When replacing a lamp,
handle it with a cloth or through its packaging until the
replacement is completed. If you get fingerprints on the lamp, wipe
gently with a clean cloth dampened with alcohol.
