Caring for and cleaning your microscope
To ensure your microscope performs at its best, regular maintenance of your microscope is
recommended.
Cover the microscope with the dust cover whenever it is not in use. This will prevent dust from
settling on the mirror or lens surface.
When moving your microscope, carry it with two hands – one holding the arm and the other
supporting the base. Never pick it up by the focusing knobs.
Do not dismantle or modify any parts of the microscope as either of this will void the warranty.
(Unless noted on instruction manual)
Do not store microscope in direct sunlight or under direct indoor light.
Use only appropriate cleaning tools when cleaning your microscope. We recommend using a
combination of the follow:
A soft brush made from camel hair
Optical cleaning solution and soft lint-free cloth
Special lens paper
Clean the lens surface using an appropriate optical cleaning solution and always remember to dry
the lens after. Do not wipe the lenses when they are dry as they can easily be scratched.
For the condenser and illuminator lens, only clean the top lens surface.
