Maintenance and Storage

1. Clean all glass components by wiping gently with gauze. To remove fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe with gauze slightly
moistened with a mixture of ether (70%) and alcohol (30%).
Since solvents such as ether and alcohol are highly flammable, they must be handled carefully. Be sure to keep
these chemicals away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks –– for example, electrical equip-
ment that is being switched on or off. Also remember to always use these chemicals only in a well-ventilated
room.
2. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the microscope components other than the glass components. To clean
them, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. Do not disassemble any part of the microscope as this could result in malfunction or reduced performance.
4. When not using the microscope, keep it covered with a supplied dust cover.
