Protection from dirt
Dust and dirt will affect the quality of your
results.
★ Put a dust cover over the microscope when
it will not be used for a long time.
★ Use dust caps to protect tube openings,
tubes without eyepieces, and eyepieces.
★ Keep accessories in a dust-free place when
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
warm soapy water, then wipe using distilled
water.
★ For stubborn dirt, you can also use ethanol
(industrial alcohol) or isopropanol. When
doing so, follow the corresponding safety
regulations.
★ Remove dust with a pneumatic rubber bulb
or with a soft brush.
★ Clean objectives and eyepieces with
special optic cleaning cloths and with pure
alcohol.
