Cleaning the sensor window
Recommended Equipment
Glass cleaning station with microscope within clean room.
Ionized air gun. For example, 3M ionized air gun.
Ionized air flood system, foot operated.
Cotton swab. For example, Swab Huby340 CA-003.
Single drop bottle (FD-2-ESD).
Optic cleaning fluid. For example, the E2 Eclipse optic cleaning system.
Procedure
Use localized ionized air flow directed on to the glass during sensor cleaning.
Blow off mobile contamination using an ionized air gun.
Place the sensor under the microscope at a magnification of 5x to determine the
presence of any remaining contamination.
Clean the contamination on the sensor using one drop of cleaning fluid on a
swab.
Wipe the swab from left to right (or right to left but only in one direction). Do
this in an overlapping pattern, turning the swab after the first wipe and with
each subsequent wipe. Avoid swiping back and forth with the same swab in
order to ensure that particles are removed and not simply transferred to a new
location on the sensor window. This procedure requires you to use multiple
swabs.
Discard the swab after both sides of the swab have been used once.
Repeat until there is no visible contamination present.
