Maintenance and Storage
1. To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirty away using a commercially available blower
and wipe gently using a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze).
If a lens is stained with fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe it gauze slightly moistened with commercially available
absolute alcohol.
Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully.
Be sure to keep it away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks –– for
example, electrical equipment that is being switched on or off.
Also remember to always use it only in a well-ventilated room.
2. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the microscope components other than the glass components. To
clean them, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. Do not disassemble any part of the microscope as this could result in malfunction or reduced performance.
4. When disposing of the microscope. Check the regulations and rules of your local government and be sure to
observe them.
