Note:
Always use high quality rechargeable batteries, preferably supplied by Euromex. Minimum 1800mA
capacity type. Charge batteries fully for 8 hours. Use the microscope untill batteries are fully depleted then
recharge again. Average use with full batteries: 8-32 hours, depending on light intensity and battery capacity and

Maintenance and cleaning
Always place the dust cover over your microscope after use. Always keep the eyepiece and objectives mounted on the
microscope to avoid dust entering the instrument
Cleaning the optics
When the eyepiece lens or front lens of the 10x or S40x objective are dirty, they can be cleaned by wiping a piece of
lens paper over the surface (circular movements). When this does not help put a drop of alcohol on the lens paper and
wipe it.
Never put xylol or alcohol directly on the lens!
It is not necessary – and not recommended – to clean the lens surfaces at the inner side of the objectives. Sometimes
dust can be removed with high pressured air. There will never be dust in the objectives if the objectives are not
removed from the revolving nosepiece
Caution
Cleaning cloths containing plastic fibers can damage the coating of the lenses!
Maintenance of the stand
Dust can be removed with a brush. In case the stand or table is really dirty then you can clean the surface with a non-
aggressive cleaning product. All moving parts like the height adjustment or the coaxial course and fine adjustment
contain ball bearings that are not dust sensitive. With a drop of sewing-machine oil you can lubricate the bearing can
be lubricated
