Operation and Cleaning Instructions:
THE ABILITY OF OPTICAL AND LIGHT MEASURING INSTRUMENTS TO OPERATE AND MEASURE ACCU-
RATELY CAN BE INFLUENCED BY HUMIDITY, DIRT AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS.
Humidity, dirt and other contaminants on optical components and the internal reflective coating of the integrating
sphere will effect specifications.
Optical components should only be cleaned by the end user if experienced and knowledgeable in the handling and
cleaning of optical components. Otherwise the manufacturer or his supplier should be contacted for service.
The reflective coating of the integrating sphere should only be cleaned by the end user if experienced and knowledge-
able in the handling and cleaning of optical coatings. Otherwise the manufacturer or his supplier should be contacted
