Only use water if you are sure that there is no other way of cleaning
your optical device without causing corrosion or damage.
Only use water if you are sure that there is no other way of cleaning
your optical device without causing corrosion or damage. Do not use
hot water, as this may cause mechanical stress, which can damage
your optical device.
Ensure that your liquid soap has no abrasive properties or perfume
in it. You should also avoid normal washing up liquid, as it can cover
your device in an iridescent film after it has been air dried.
Some lenses and mirrors also have a special coating, which may be
sensitive to mechanical stress, or to fat and liquids. For this reason
we recommend you do not touch them.
If you are not sure how sensitive your device is to cleaning, please
contact the manufacturer or your sales distributor.
Moisten the lens or the mirror with water.
1
Put a little liquid soap on the surface and gently spread the

liquid over the whole area.
Wash off the emulsion with water, being careful to remove it
3
all, as any remaining streaks can impair measurement
accuracy.
Take a new, dry soft tissue and remove the water, by rubbing
4
gently over the surface using a small circular movement.
Blow away remaining lint with compressed air.

Alternative Procedure A
To clean lenses that are extremely sensitive to mechanical stress
or pressure you can also use an optical clean polymer film. This
procedure is time-consuming, but you avoid scratching or
destroying the surface.
Put the film on the surface and wait at least 30 minutes to
1
make sure that the film has had enough time to dry.
Remove the film and any dirt with special adhesive tapes.
2
Alternative Procedure B
If your lens is sensitive to water then:
Moisten the lens or the mirror with isopropyl alcohol.
1
Take a new, dry soft tissue and remove the alcohol, dissolved
2
sediment and dust, by rubbing gently over the surface using a
small circular movement.
