The eyepieces, objective lens and lamphouse prism should be checked for cleanliness each time the
instrument is used. Surface dust should be removed with a clean, soft brush. Fingerprints, irrigation
solution residue and grease may be removed by lightly wiping with a cotton cloth or lens tissue
moistened with a mixture of 70% ether and 30% absolute alcohol (either ethanol or methanol). Use
pure alcohol if no ether is available.
Do not use acetone as it may damage the surface coatings of the lenses.
$
Use water based cleaners only.
Do not use any organic solvent such as alcohol, ether or xylene.

Apart from instructions specifically mentioned within this manual, no parts inside the optical head of
the instrument can be serviced by the user. Attempts to dismantle the optical head or prism cover will
make any warranty void.

In hot and humid climates it is common for mould to grow on optical surfaces. Cleaning and repairing
the damage can be expensive and inconvenient. To minimise the risk of mould forming, do not leave
the instrument without either eyepieces or eyepiece blanks inserted and always store the optical head
in a sealed bag containing silica gel desiccant. Scan Optics SO-5000W and SO-5100 microscopes are
fitted with anti-mould protection. In tropical climates, routine checking for the presence of mould is
recommended.
