NOTE:
◇BBO has a low susceptibility to the moisture. The user is advised to provide dry conditions for both the use and preservation of BBO.
◇BBO is relatively soft and therefore requires precautions to protect its polished surfaces.
◇When angle adjusting is necessary, keep in mind that the acceptance angle of BBO is small.
