    MICROSCOPE MAINTENANCE General Routine optical and mechanical maintenance of compound microscopes can ensure that your microscope works well for years. Most microscope problems occur as a result of improper handling. When carrying the microscope, always hold it by the base and the metal support arm.

    Cleaning Microscope Eyepiece Lenses To determine if your microscope eyepieces need cleaning, loosen the small set screw for the eyepiece (if there is one) and rotate the eyepiece in a circular motion while looking through the microscope. If there is a dust particle that rotates as you rotate the eyepiece, remove the eyepiece from the microscope and clean only the outside lens.
  • Page 8: Cleaning Objectives

    Cleaning Objectives In order to determine which of your objective lenses need cleaning, take a clean blank glass slide and put it under your microscope. Once the microscope is focused you should be able to move the slide and determine if the visible dust is moving with the slide or staying in the same place (which means the dust is on the objective lens).
  • Page 9: Immersion Oil(100X Lens)

    Immersion oil (100x lens) When using immersion oil for microscopy, the oil should always be cleaned from microscope objective lenses immediately after use. This can be done with a kimwipe of piece of lens paper, no cleaning solutions are needed. If immersion oil was not cleaned off an objective after use and has hardend on the objective, moisten a piece of lens paper with a small amount of distilled water and hold it against the lens for a few seconds to dissolve the oil.

    This can damage metal parts in the microscope. Mechanical maintenance of your Euromex microscope is very limited. All moving parts like the height adjustment or the coaxial course and fine adjustment contain ball bearings that are not dust sensitive. With a drop of sewing-machine oil the bearing can be lubricated.
