Care, Maintenance, Contact Persons (cont'd.)

Protection from dirt

Dust and dirt will affect the quality of your
results.

Put a dust cover over the microscope when
it will not be used for a long time.

Use dust caps to protect tube openings,
tubes without eyepieces, and eyepieces.

Keep accessories in a dust-free place when
not in use.

Cleaning polymer components

Some components are made of polymer or are
polymer-coated. They are, therefore, pleasant
and convenient to handle. The use of unsuitable
cleaning agents and techniques can damage
polymers,

Permitted measures

Clean the microscope (or parts of it) using
warm soapy water, then wipe using distilled
water.

For stubborn dirt, you can also use ethanol
(industrial alcohol) or isopropanol. When
doing so, follow the corresponding safety
regulations.

Remove dust with a pneumatic rubber bulb
or with a soft brush.

Clean objectives and eyepieces with
special optic cleaning cloths and with pure
alcohol.
