Note: Do not store or operate the unit near a sink as contact with water could cause electric shock.
Unit is heavy, do not store or operate it at the edge of a laboratory bench. Unit must be in upright position during operation.
Condensation will form on any object when the temperature of the object is at or below the dew point temperature of the air
surrounding the object. If the instrument has been taken from a cold environment to a warmer environment, allow the instrument to
equilibrate to above the dew point temperature before operating.
Do not tip the unit over while a sample is located on the sample stage. This could cause accidental spillage of sample into the ZOE
Fluorescent Cell Imager’s optical and electronic systems, causing electrical shock and rendering unit inoperable.
Do not operate if the glass layer on the LCD screen is broken; this could injure the operator.
To prevent injury from movement of motorized stage, do not put fingers into the stage opening while the unit is powered on.
The angle on LCD screen is adjustable, keep fingers away from the back of the screen when folding down the screen. The ZOE
Fluorescent Cell Imager is factory calibrated; no further calibration is needed.
Do not connect the ZOE Fluorescent Cell Imager to a PC, it may render the device’s operating system unusable.
