Ⅴ. Maintenance and Care All the lenses have been adjusted properly, do not dismount them by yourself please. The nosepiece and coarse and fine focusing parts are so delicate that it is forbidden to disassemble them carelessly by yourself. Keep the instrument clean, wipe dust every day, and do not pollute the optical element when wiping away the dust on the instrument.
