Maintenance and Storage
1. Do not leave stains or fingerprints on the lenses and filters. Blow away dust with a commercially available blower and
gently wipe the lens or filter with a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze).
For wiping fingerprints and oil stains, use a piece of cleaning paper moistened with commercially available absolute
alcohol.
Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully. Be sure to keep it away from open
flames or potential sources of electrical sparks --- for example, electrical equipment that is being switched on
or off, which could cause ignition of a fire. Also remember to always use absolute alcohol only in a well-ven-
tilated room.
2. Do not use organic solvents, which cause painted and plastic parts to deteriorate. Do not use organic solvents to
clean the product components other than the glass components. To clean them, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly
moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. Do not disassemble any part of the camera as this could result in malfunction or reduced performance.
4. When the camera is removed from microscope for storage, be sure to put the C-mount cap included in the camera,
which is necessary to protect the IR cut filter provided inside.
5. When the camera is stored, be sure to keep the C-mount portion downward, since it tends to roll over.
6. Before disposing of this product, be sure to follow the regulations and rules of your local government.
