12. Care of the Microscope
WARNING
Unplug the power supply before performing
cleaning and maintenance work!
Protect electrical components from mois-
ture!
Microscopes in warm and warm-damp climatic
zones require special care in order to prevent
fungus contamination.
The microscope should be cleaned after each
use, and the microscope optics should be kept
painstakingly clean.
12.1 Dust Cover
Note:
To protect against dust, cover the microscope
and accessories with the dust cover after each
use.
CAUTION
Let the microscope and lamps cool down be-
fore covering the stand with a dust cover. The
dust cover is not heat-resistant. In addition,
condensation may occur.
12.2 Cleaning
!
Caution:
Residual fiber and dust can create unwanted
background fluorescence.
Cleaning coated parts
Dust and loose dirt particles can be removed
with a soft brush or lint-free cotton cloth.
Clinging dirt can be cleaned as necessary with a
low-concentrated soap solution, petroleum ether
or ethyl alcohol.
For cleaning coated parts, use a linen or leather
cloth that is moistened with one of these sub-
stances.
Caution!
Thinners containing acetone, xylene or nitro-
gen can harm the microscope and thus must
not be used.
Test cleaning solutions of unknown composition
on a less visible area of the unit first. Be sure that
coated or plastic surfaces do not become matted
or etched.
