Caring For Your Camera - Q Imaging EXi Aqua User Manual

CARING FOR YOUR CAMERA

The EXi Aqua camera requires no regular maintenance except occasional external cleaning of the CCD window
(the glass window between the camera sensor and the microscope or lens).
To clean the CCD window:
CAUTION — The camera's CCD sensor, and circuits are sensitive to static discharge.
Ensure you are using a static strap or are completely grounded at all times to
release any static energy before you clean the CCD window.
• Use clean forced air (available at stores that sell cameras and computer cleaning supplies) to dust
the CCD window.
• If the image still appears dirty, gently wipe the face of the CCD window with a small amount of
optical grade isopropyl alcohol and lens paper. NEVER use acetone to clean the CCD
window.
•
Apply forced air again to remove any loose particles.
