Care
O Keeping all optical components clean is
important for maintaining good optical
performance.
O If any optical surface becomes badly coated
with dust or dirt, flush the surface using a
syringe or by brushing it off with a camel
hair brush or with dry compressed air
(pneumatic pump, compressed air spray)
before attempting to wipe it clean.
O Optical surfaces should be cleaned using
a lint-free cloth, lens cloth or cotton swab
moistened with a commercially available
glass cleaner. Do not use alcohol.
O Avoid excessive use of solvents. The lint-
free cloth, lens cloth or cotton swab should
be soaked with solvent, but not so wet that
solvent runs over the lens.
O Protect your microscope from moisture,
fumes and acids and from alkaline, caustic
and corrosive materials and keep chemicals
away from the instruments.
O Plugs, optical systems and mechanical parts
must not be disassembled or replaced,
unless doing so is specifically permitted
and described in this User Manual.
O Protect your microscope from oil and
grease.
O Do not grease guide surfaces or mechani-
cal parts.
Protection from dirt
Dust and dirt will affect the quality of your
results.
O Put an optionally available dust cover over
the microscope when it will not be used for
a long time.
O Keep accessories in a dust-free place when
not in use.
