2.18 Microscope Maintenance
2.18.1 Handle with Care
As the microscope and all accessories are precision instruments, always handle
them with care, avoiding impact or abrupt movement during transportation. Do not
shake the package.
2.18.2 No Sun/Heat
Do not place the microscope and accessories in direct sunlight or in
high heat.
Keep the microscope and all accessories indoors in a dry and clean
place with temperatures between 32°-100° F (0°-40°C), maximum
relative humidity: 85%.
2.18.3 No Dust
Always keep the microscope covered by the dust cover when not in
use. The glass will attract dust, obscuring your view. Make sure to
keep it in a dry and clean place in order to prevent rust.
2.18.4 Keep Glass Clean
All glass surfaces must always be kept clean.
Oil and dirt from your fingerprints will obstruct your view.
Fine dust on the optical surface should be blown off using a hand blower or
gently wiped off with a soft lens tissue.
2.18.5 Use an optical lens cleaner.
Carefully wipe off oil or fingerprints on lens surfaces using a tissue moistened with
a small amount of 3:7 alcohol to ether mixture.
2.18.6 Do not use lens cleaner on the non-glass parts of the microscope.
Do not use the optical lens cleaning solution to wipe the surfaces of the other
components of the microscope.
All other parts, especially those made of plastic, should be cleaned with a mild
detergent.
2.18.7 Do not touch the glass.
Avoid touching the lenses on the objective, the eyepiece and all the
accessories with glass lenses.
