CLEANING TIPS
To ensure your microscope has a long service life, clean the lens (objective and
eyepiece) with only a soft, lint-free cloth, like a microfiber cloth. Do not press
down too hard while cleaning, as this might scratch the lens. Ask your parents
to help if your microscope is really dirty. The cleaning cloth should be moistened
with cleaning fluid and the lens wiped clean using very little pressure. Make sure
your microscope is always protected against dust and dirt. After use, leave it in a
warm room to dry off.
