When you have finished
Turn off the microscope by pressing and releasing in the on/off switch or using the on screen
controls. The microscope then takes about 10 seconds to shutdown (the blue light goes out).
Remove any dirt or liquids from the microscope body using a damp or dry cloth.
Only clean the lens if it is obviously dirty, since cleaning risks scratching the lens. If you do need to
clean the lens use a clean cotton bud dipped in alcohol. Clean gently to avoid scratching.
