Care
and
Maintenance
1. Filter
and lens
cleaning
Do not
let dust,
fingerprints,
etc.
get
on
the lenses
or filters.
Dirt on
the lenses, filters,
etc. will adversely
affect the
view
of the image.
lf
any
of the lenses
or filters
get
dirty, clean
them as
described
betow.
'
'
Use an
air blower
to
blow away
dust.
lf that
does not
suffice,
brush away
the dust with
a soft,
clean
brush,
or else
wipe it
away
gen
y
with
gauze.
'
To remove
fingerprints
or
grease,
use a
piece
of soft,
clean cotton
cloth,
lens
lissue, or
gauze
moistened
with
absolute
alcohol (ethyl
alcohol or methyl
alcohol).
Howèver,
do not use
ì-he same
area ot
the cloth,
etc.
to wipe
more
than
once.
'
Use
petroleum
benzine
to clean
off
immersion
oil. Wiping
with
absolute
alcohol
(ethyl
alcohol
or
methyl
alcohol)
after
the oil has
been
removed
finishes
the clean
up
process.
lf
you
cannot
obtain
petroleum
benzine,
use methyl
alcohol.
However,
because
methyl
alcohol does
not
clean
as well
as
petrolEum
benzine,
it will
be
necessary
to wipe
the surfaces
repeatedty.
(Usually,
three
or lour
times
is sufficient
to clean lenses
or filters.)
'
Use
petroleum
benzine only
to remove
immersion
oil from
obiectives;
do not
use
petroleum
benzine
for
cleaning
the
entrance lens
on the
eyepiece
tube, filters,
erc.
'
Absolute
alcohol
and
petroleum
bénzine
are both
highly flammable.
Handle
them
carefully, especially
around
open flames
and when
tuming
power
switches
on and
off, etc.
'
Follow
the
manufacturer's
instructions
when handling
absolute alcohol
and
petroleum
benzine.
