Procedure
Use localized ionized air flow on to the glass during sensor cleaning.
Blow off mobile contamination using an ionized air gun.
Place the sensor under the microscope at a magnification of 5x to determine the location of
any remaining contamination.
Clean the contamination on the sensor using one drop of E2 on a swab.
Wipe the swab from left to right (or right to left but only in one direction). Do this in an
overlapping pattern, turning the swab after the first wipe and with each subsequent wipe.
Avoid swiping back and forth with the same swab in order to ensure that particles are
removed and not simply transferred to a new location on the sensor window. This procedure
requires you to use multiple swabs.
Discard the swab after both sides of the swab have been used once.
Repeat until there is no visible contamination present.
