Instrument Care
Maintenance of the photomicrography components attached to the microscopes is limited to the
following operations:
•
Switch off the instrument after every use and place instrument cover on it to protect it from dust and
humidity.
•
Never expose the instrument to inadmissible climatic conditions (high humidity and temperature).
The best way to remove stubborn dirt on glass surfaces, e.g. finger prints or traces of grease and
immersion oil, is the use of a piece of cotton wrapped around a wooden stick and a small amount of
distilled water or a non-aggressive solution.
•
distilled water: clean glass surface using a slightly moistened wad of cotton by moving in circles
starting in the middle.
•
Optics cleaning solution, consisting of 85% isopropanol and 15% medical alcohol (benzoline): clean
glass surface using a slightly moistened wad of cotton by moving in circles starting in the middle.
•
Remove dust from optical surfaces using a natural hair brush or an air blower.
Please also see the additional notes on camera maintenance contained in the operating manual of the
used SLR camera.
When using the components in humid climatic zones, proceed as follows:
•
Store instrument in bright, dry and well ventilated rooms with a humidity of less than 65%: optical
components and accessories which are particularly susceptible to the growth of fungus, e.g.
objectives and eyepieces, should be stored in a dry closet.
•
When the equipment is stored in closed cases for a longer period of time, the growth of fungus can
be avoided by including cloths soaked in fungicide in the cases.
The risk of growth of fungus on opto-mechanical instruments always exists in the following conditions:
−
Relative humidity of more than 75% and temperatures b15° C and +35° C for more than
three days.
−
Installation in dark rooms without air ventilation.
−
Dust deposits and fingerprints on optical surfaces.
