10.2 Prevention against water and moisture
The microscope must be kept away from sources of water including water faucets, tanks, sinks, etc.
The instrument should be kept in a low humidity environment (relative humidity should be kept below
85%). If the eyepieces and other optical components are not to be used for an extended period of time,
they should be placed in a dry cardboard box with the addition of a desiccating agent. If the
environmental conditions of the current location are exceedingly moist and humid, Motic recommends
use of a dehumidifier within the lab.
10.3 Proper cleaning techniques

If the surface of an optical lens is dusty, use a pipette to blow off the dust.

If fingerprints or oil stains are discovered, or the use of a pipette is unable to remove dirt, wipe with
an oil-free cotton swab or lens cloth lightly dipped in a mixture of pure alcohol and ether (mixed
specifically at 3:7 or 2:8 to leave no residue on the lens). Be extremely careful when wiping the
lens clean. Do not, under any circumstances, use any sort of corrosive solution to clean the lens.

Under no circumstances should dry a cotton swab, dry cloth or dry lens cloth be used to wipe the
lens as this will cause scratches and damage the surface of the lens. Do not use water to clean
the lens, as this will leave a residue on the lens surface, as well as possibly resulting in the
formation of mildew.

The light barrier and glass ring in the carriage and the frosted glass must be kept clean. If oil
stains or dust appear on the surfaces, use a cotton swab dipped in mixture of pure alcohol and
ether to carefully clean as such contamination will affect observation results using transmitted
illumination.
10.4 Moving the Microscope

Try to move the microscope as little as possible.

If it is absolutely necessary to move the microscope, be sure the eyepieces, optical body, focusing
mechanism and the adjustment rings are secured in place before moving the microscope. As well,
be sure the power is turned off and the cord unplugged.

When moving the microscope use both hands, one under the base and the other firmly holding the
top of the vertical bracket.

The microscope should be kept in an upright position the entire time it is being moved.
