IMPORTANT NOTES
1.9. Cleaning/maintenance/transport
Disconnect the device from the power supply by pulling the power plug when it is
not used or in case of longer interruption of operation and before starting any work
on maintenance and cleaning.
Remove optical elements (e.g. objectives, eyepiece, etc.) before cleaning the mi-
croscope body.
Be sure that the instrument is dry before using.
If a bacterial solution or splashes of water get on the stage, objective or observa-
tion tube, unplug the microscope immediately. Then wipe off the solution or water to
keep the microscope dry. Otherwise, the unit could be damaged.
Do not use organic solvents (e.g. alcohol, ether, acetone, xylol or other dilutions)
to clean lacquered parts or plastic parts!
Because the solvent such as ether and alcohol are extremely flammable, do not
operate power switch of various electrical equipment when using, and keep away
from open fire, please ensure indoor ventilation.
To avoid damaging the electronics, do not use any cleaning fluid.
When using objects that present a potential risk of infection, all parts that have
come into contact with the object must be thoroughly cleaned.
The revolving nosepiece and the coarse microfocusing mechanism are precisely
designed. Please avoid dismantling the components. This affects the performance
of the microscope.
Transport: Please remove all loose parts and the object to be observed from the
stage. Only use the original packaging for transport.
Environmental requirements for microscope transport:
a) Ambient temperature range: -40°C to +70°C.
b) Relative humidity range: 10% to 100%.
c) Range of atmospheric pressure: 500 hpa to 1060 hpa
