V. Caring for your microscope 

As with any quality instrument, your microscope should be stored in a cool, dry place. 
Use the dust cover to protect the microscope when not in use. If necessary, clean the 
lenses with a soft brush or compressed air to gently remove dust.  
 
Avoid touching the optical surfaces directly and never disassemble the optical 
components of the microscope. When not using eyepieces, use the plastic covers to 
protect the eyepiece lens holders and ocular lens. 
 

VI. Troubleshooting 

If you have a problem, you may be able to correct it yourself. Here are some common 
issues and easy solutions you can try before calling customer support for service. 
 
*Caution: Never disassemble the electrical, mechanical, or optical components. This 
servicing should only be done by a Swift technician.
