4. Starting at the middle of the plate, wipe the window surface using a gentle circular motion to
remove dirt or smudges (Figure 9.4).
5. To clean the bottom surface of the scintillation plate holder, soak a soft wipe in ethyl alcohol and
rub the underside of the holder. It may be convenient to use a foam paint applicator to support
the alcohol-soaked wipe (Figure 9.5). Support the applicator with the wipe as shown in Figure 9.5
to prevent bending the plate holder.
A solution of 3 to 5% bleach may be used on the underside of the plate holder if care is used not
to get it on the AR-coated window.
