1.3  Storage 

 
You  should  ensure  that  the  device  is  not  exposed  to  direct  sunlight,  temperatures 
which are too high or too low, vibrations, dust or a high level of humidity. 
 
The ideal temperature range is between 0 and 40°C and a relative humidity of 85% 
should not be exceeded. 
 
The device should always be located on a rigid, smooth, horizontal surface. 
 
For  devices  with  pillar  stands,  the  microscope  holder  must  not  be  rotated  back  too 
far. If you do this, there is a risk that the microscope could tip over. 
 
When  the microscope  is  not  being  used,  you  should  fit  the  objective  cap  and  cover 
the microscope with the enclosed dust protective cover.  
If the eyepieces are being stored separately, the protective caps must be fitted to the 
tube  connectors.  In  most  cases,  if  dust  and  dirt  gets  inside  the  optical  unit  of  a 
microscope this can cause irreversible errors or damage. 
 
The  best  way  to  store  accessories  which  consist  of  optical  elements,  such  as,  for 
example, eyepieces and objectives, is in a dry box with desiccant.
