VII. Care and Maintenance
1. Lenses and Filters
● To clean lens surfaces or filters, first remove dust using an air blower. If dust still persists, use
a soft/clean brush or gauze.
● A soft gauze or lens tissue lightly moistened with pure alcohol should only be used to remove
grease or fingerprints.
● Use petroleum benzine to clean immersion oil.
● Use petroleum benzine only to remove immersion oil from objective lenses.
● Because petroleum benzine and absolute alcohol are both highly flammable, be careful
handling around open flame.
● Do not use same area of gauze or tissue, to wipe more than once.
2. Cleaning of Painted or Plastic Components
● Do not use organic solvents (thinners, alcohol, ether, etc.) doing so could result in
discolouration or in the peeling of paint.
● For stubborn dirt, moisten a piece of gauze with diluted detergent and wipe clean.
3. When Not in Use
● When not in use, cover the instrument with vinyl dust cover and store in a place low in
humidity where mould is not likely to form.
● Store the objectives, eyepieces and filters in a container or desiccator with drying agent.
