5. CLEANING AND CARING FOR THE MICROSCOPE 

 

To keep the microscope in good working order avoid, 

dust and water

. If any dust or water happens to 

get into the microscope, fungus will grow, damaging the microscope. Please note that once fungus has 

grown, even after cleaning, the problem may reoccur.  

 

Grease stains 

and

 fingerprints

 affect image quality, avoid allowing fingers to come into contact with 

the surface of optical components. 

 

5.1  Protection against Dust 

If the instrument is not to be used for a long period of time, cover it with the dust cover provided. Never 

leave the eyepiece tube exposed. Either leave the eyepiece in the tube (recommended if the 

microscope is frequently used) or cover it with wrapping paper or a covering cap. Eyepieces and other 

optical components that will not be used for a relatively long period of time should be stored in a dry 

cardboard box, preferably with a desiccating agent added, to shield against dust and moisture. 

 

5.2  Protection against Water and Moisture 

The instrument should be kept away from all water sources, including pipes and sinks. Humidity in the 

room where the instrument located should be kept as low as possible (relative humidity should be kept 

below 70%). It is recommended that optical components be kept in a dry box when not in use, 

preferably with a desiccating agent added. The use of dehumidifier and/or 24-hour air conditioning is 

highly recommended if the surrounding area is humid. 

 

5.3 Cleaning 

5.3.1  If dust is found on the optical surface, remove by using an air blower or compressed air. 

 

5.3.2  For fingerprint, grease stains or dust which cannot be removed using air, two possible methods  

   are 

recommended: 

 

  Breathe lightly on the glass surface and wipe with a clean piece of cloth, lens paper or cotton swab.  

  Please note that small cotton fibers may remain on the surface of the lens if a cotton swab is used. 

  Use a cotton swab or lens paper dipped in a small amount of pure alcohol and clean the lens surface  

  carefully. No other aggressive solvents should be used.
