CARE, TROUBLESHOOTING AND SERVICE
4.1
Maintenance of the Instrument
Maintenance of the Axiolab A is limited to the following operations:
•
Cover the instrument with the dust cover after every use.
•
Do not set up the instrument in a damp room, i.e. max. humidity
<
85%.
•
Remove dust from optical surfaces using a rubber blower or a natural hair brush. Use alcohol to
remove grease from brush, then dry the brush. Remove stubborn dirt and fingerprints using a dust-
free cloth or leather cloth.
•
Remove stubborn dirt (e.g. fingerprints) from optical surfaces using commercially available optics
cleaning cloths; if necessary, slightly moisten the cloths with petroleum ether. Clean the front lenses
of the objectives using petroleum ether, but do not use alcohol.
When using the Axiolab A in humid climatic zones, proceed as follows:
-
Store the Axiolab A in bright, dry and well ventilated rooms with a humidity of less than 85%; store
particularly sensitive components and accessories, such as objectives and eyepieces, in a dry closet.
-
When the equipment is stored in closed cases for a longer period of time, the growth of fungus can
be avoided by including cloths soaked in fungicide in the cases.
The risk of growth of fungus on opto-mechanical instruments always exists in the following conditions:
-
relative humidity of more than 75% and temperatures b15° C and +35° C for more than
three days.
-
installation in dark rooms without air ventilation, and
-
dust deposits and fingerprints on optical surfaces.
