Caring for and cleaning your microscope
To ensure your microscope performs at its best, regular maintenance of your microscope is recommended.
Cover the microscope with the dust cover whenever it is not in use. This will prevent dust from settling on the
mirror or lens surface.
When moving your microscope, carry it with two hands – one holding the arm and the other supporting the
base. Never pick it up by the focusing knobs.
Do not dismantle or modify any parts of the microscope as either of this will void the warranty. (Unless noted
on instruction manual)
Do not store microscope in direct sunlight or under direct indoor light.
Use only appropriate cleaning tools when cleaning your microscope. We recommend using a combination of
the following:
• A soft brush made from camel hair
• Optical cleaning solution and a soft lint-free cloth
• Special lens paper
Clean the lens surface using an appropriate optical cleaning solution and always remember to dry the lens
after. Do not wipe the lenses when they are dry as they can easily be scratched.
For the condenser and illuminator lens, only clean the top lens surface.
