Swift M10DB-MP Use And Care Manual page 22

determined if it is within the microscope or the camera. To check
this simply loosen the adapter and rotate the camera. If the dirt
rotates while turning it, then it means that it is in the microscope.
If it does not rotate, then it is either in the adapter or in the
protection filter of the sensor. If the dirt is on the surface lens of
the adapter then you can use the same cleaning method that we
have explained above, but if the dirt is in the protection filter of the
sensor then use pressurized dry air only. If the dirt persist you can
either contact us or you can contact your Swift Optical supplier.
Mechanics
The mechanical components of the microscope require less
maintenance than the optical components. Our first maintenance
advice is to use the dust cover provided with the microscope, to
avoid the accumulation of dust on the microscope.
To clean the stand or the specimen holder, Use a cleaning
cloth moistened with soap diluted in distilled water. After this
proceed drying the entire surface of the microscope. Take special
care with the electrical components of the microscope such as the
ON / OFF switch, the dimmer, the lamp holder...
If there are grease stains, use the same cloth moistened with a
low graduation of alcohol.
If you face any problems related to the maintenance of your
microscope, please contact us. Our technicians will gladly help
you solve your maintenance issue/s.
CLEANING – The front lens of the objectives (particularly the
40XRD and 100XRD) should be cleaned after use. The lens
surface may be gently cleaned with a soft camel hair brush, or
blown off with clean, oil-free air to remove dust particles. Then
wipe gently with a soft lens tissue, moistened with optical cleaner
(eyeglass or camera lens) or clean water. Immediately dry with a
clean lens paper.
CAUTION - Objectives should never be disassembled by the
user. If repairs or internal cleaning should be necessary, this
should only be done by qualified, authorized microscope
technician. The eyepiece(s) may be cleaned in the same manner
as the objectives, except in most cases optical cleaner will not be
required. In most instances breathing on the eyepiece to moisten
the lens and wiping dry with a clean lens tissue is sufficient to
clean the surface. Lenses should never be wiped while dry as this
will scratch or otherwise mar the surface of the glass.
