A microscope can be found in most photography stores, or can be
obtained through or specialist mail order companies. Special fiber-
scopes are available from suppliers of splicing equipment.
Ideally, the light source on your microscope should be very flexible.
This will allow you to examine your device closely and from different
angles.
A microscope helps you to estimate the type and degree of dirt on your
device. You can use a microscope to choose an appropriate cleaning
method, and then to examine the results. You can also use your
microscope to judge whether your optical device (such as a connector)
is severely scratched and is, therefore, causing inaccurate
measurements.
Ultrasonic bath
Ultrasonic baths are also available from photography or laboratory
suppliers or specialist mail order companies.
An ultrasonic bath will gently remove fat and other stubborn dirt from
your optical devices. This helps increase the life span of the optical
devices.
Only use isopropyl alcohol in your ultrasonic bath, as other solvents
may damage.
Warm water and liquid soap
Only use water if you are sure that there is no other way of cleaning
your optical device without corrosion or damage. Do not use hot
water, as this may cause mechanical stress, which can damage your
optical device.
Ensure that your liquid soap has no abrasive properties or perfume in
it. You should also avoid normal washing-up liquid, as it can cover
your device in an iridescent film after it has been air-dried.
