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.
