Protection from dirt
Dust and dirt will affect the quality of your
results.
Put a dust cover over the microscope when
ρ
it will not be used for a long time.
Use dust caps to protect tube openings,
ρ
tubes without eyepieces, and eyepieces.
Keep accessories in a dust-free place when
ρ
not in use.
Cleaning polymer components
Some components are made of polymer or are
polymer-coated. They are, therefore, pleasant
and convenient to handle. The use of unsuitable
cleaning agents and techniques can damage
polymers.
Permitted measures
Clean the microscope (or parts of it) using
ρ
warm soapy water, then wipe using distilled
water.
For stubborn dirt, you can also use ethanol
ρ
(industrial alcohol) or isopropanol. When
doing so, follow the corresponding safety
instructions.
Remove dust with a pneumatic rubber bulb
ρ
or with a soft brush.
Clean objectives and eyepieces with
ρ
special optic cleaning cloths and with pure
alcohol.
