General maintenance

Storage and handling

Always use both hands to carry the microscope. There is a handle on the back of the microscope and an undercut in the

front for this purpose.

ϘϘ The cord wrap allows you to wrap the cord in such a way that only the length you need is extended.

ϘϘ Keep all optical components clean. Clean- liness is important for maintaining good optical performance.

ϘϘ The microscope should always be covered with the plastic dust cover (provided with the instrument) when it is not in use.

Instructions for cleaning

ϘϘ If any optical surface becomes coated with dust or dirt, clean the surface by blowing it off with a syringe or brushing it off with a camel hair brush before attempting to wipe the surface clean.

ϘϘ Optical surfaces should be cleaned using

alint-free cloth, lens cloth or cotton swab moistened with a commercially available glass cleaner.

ϘϘ It is very important to avoid the excessive use of solvents, so use them sparingly. The lint-free cloth, lens tissue or cotton swab should be moistened with solvent, but not be wet enough for the solvent to seep around the lens.
