General
•
Always carry the microscope using two
hands. There is a handle on the back of
the microscope and an undercut in the front for
this purpose.

The cord wrap allows you to wrap the cord
Ϙ
in such a way that only the length you need
is extended.
Keep all optical components clean. Clean-
Ϙ
liness is important for maintaining good
optical performance.
The microscope should always be covered
Ϙ
with the plastic dust cover (provided with
the instrument) when it is not in use.
Manual
If any optical surface becomes coated with
Ϙ
dust or dirt, clean the surface by blowing it
off with a syringe or brushing it off with a
camel hair brush before attempting to wipe
the surface clean.
Optical surfaces should be cleaned with a
Ϙ
lint-free cloth, lens tissue or a cotton swab
moistened with methanol or a commer-
cially available glass cleaner. Do not use
alcohol.
It is very important to avoid the excessive
Ϙ
use of solvents, so use them sparingly. The
lint-free cloth, lens tissue or cotton swab
should be moistened with solvent, but
not be wet enough for the solvent to seep
around the lens.
