Page 11: Getting Ready
4. GETTING READY ● A microscope is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to sudden or severe impact. ● When moving the microscope, first remove the specimens, eyepieces, and filters so that they will not drop. Also remove other modules (e.g. lamp housing, stage) for decreasing system weight. Then securely grasp the microscope by the rear of arms and the base. -
Page 12: Maintenance And Storage
5. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE ● To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirty away using a commercially available blower and wipe gently using a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze). If a lens is stained with fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe it gauze slightly moistened with commercially available absolute alcohol. -
