Microscopes in warm and warm-damp climatic zones require special care in order to prevent fungus contamination.

The microscope should be cleaned after each use, and the microscope optics should be kept strictly clean.

10.1 Dust Cover

10.2 Cleaning

!Caution:

Residual fiber and dust can create unwanted background fluorescence.

Cleaning Coated Parts

Dust and loose dirt particles can be removed with a soft brush or lint-free cotton cloth.

Stubborn dirt can be removed with all commonly available aqueous solutions, naphtha or alcohol. For cleaning coated parts, use a linen or leather cloth that is moistened with one of these sub- stances.

Note:

To protect against dust, cover the microscope and accessories with the dust cover after each use.

Caution!

Let lamps cool down before covering the stand with a dust cover. The dust cover is not heat-resistant. In addition condensation water may occur.

!Caution:

Acetone, xylene or nitro-containing thinner can harm the microscope and thus must not be used.

Test cleaning solutions of unknown composition first on a less visible area of the unit. Be sure that coated or plastic surfaces do not become matted or etched.

Cleaning the stage

Rub the stage with paraffin oil or acid-free Vaseline to remove light spots on the stage.
