Cleaning the lenses :
To clean the lens surfaces, remove dust using a soft brush or gauze (compressed air dust cans are ideal). For
removing finger marks or grease, soft cotton cloth/ lens tissue or gauze lightly moistened with cleaning solution
(85% petroleum ether and 15% isopropanol) should be used. For cleaning the objective optics, use xylene.
Observe sufficient caution in handling xylene.
