Maintenance and Storage

1. To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirty away using a commercially available blower and wipe
gently using a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze).
If a lens is stained with fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe it gauze slightly moistened with commercially available absolute
alcohol.
Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully.
Be sure to keep it away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks -- for example, electrical
equipment that is being switched on or off.
Also remember to always use it only in a well-ventilated room.
2. The equipment uses plastic resins extensively in its external finish. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean them
but simply wipe them using a lint-free, soft cloth. To clean an extremely dirty part, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a
diluted neutral detergent.
3. Never disassemble any part of the microscope as this could result in malfunctions or reduced performance.
4. When not using the microscope, keep it covered with the dust cover provided. If a module containing a source of heat is
mounted on the microscope, wait until it has cooled down before covering.
5. This equipment should be disposed of by following the rules and regulations of your national or local government.
