General Instructions
O
Keeping all optical components clean is
important for maintaining good optical
performance.
O
Always protect the microscope and camera
with the plastic cover when the instrument
is not in use. (Included in the delivery pack-
age of the microscope.) Be sure power to
the camera is off when the dust cover is in
place.
O
If any optical surface becomes badly coated
with dust or dirt, it should be cleaned by
blowing the surface with a syringe or brush-
ing it off with a camel hair brush before
attempting to wipe the surface clean.
O
Optical surfaces should be cleaned using
a lint-free cloth, lens cloth or cotton swab
moistened with a commercially available
glass cleaner. Do not use alcohol.

Avoid excessive use of solvents. The lint-
free cloth, lens cloth or cotton swab should
be soaked with solvent, but not so wet that
solvent runs over the lens.

fumes and acids and from alkaline, caustic
and corrosive materials. Do not store
chemicals in the vicinity.

back of the microscope and an undercut in the
front for this purpose.
