CARE AND CLEANING 

 

The M3500 Series microscope is designed to function with minimal 
maintenance, but certain components should be cleaned frequently to 
ensure ease of viewing. The power switch should also be turned off or 
unplugged when the microscope is not in use. 
 

CLEANING

 – The front lens of the objectives (particularly the 40XRD and 

100XRD should be cleaned after use. First brush with a soft, camel hair 
brush or blown off with clean, oil free air to remove dust particles. Then 
wipe gently with a soft lens tissue, moistened with optical cleaner 
(eyeglass or camera lens) or clean water. Immediately dry with a clean 
lens paper. 

 
CAUTION

 - Objectives should never be disassembled by the user. If 

repairs or internal cleaning should be necessary, this should only be done 
by qualified, authorized microscope technician. The eyepiece(s) may be 
cleaned in the same manner as the objectives, except in most cases 
optical cleaner will not be required. In most instances breathing on the 
eyepiece to moisten the lens and wiping dry with a clean lens tissue is 
sufficient to clean the surface. Lenses should never be wiped while dry 
as this will scratch or otherwise mar the surface of the glass.
