4. Pull the PMT housing off the detector module and remove the filter from
the detector. Use lint-free lens tissue to clean the filter on both sides. Also
clean the window in the PMT tube. Be careful to not scratch the surfaces;
do not use a cleaning fluid that might leave a film upon drying. Keep the
open end of the PMT covered whenever practical to avoid light damage
to the tube.

5. Inspect the filter: chips, scratches, and/or cracks in the light path scatter
light, reducing detector sensitivity. Replace filters as necessary.
Inspect the PMT window for damage; if necessary, replace the PMT. See
Replacing the photomultiplier tube.
