Instrument care

Care of the microscope is restricted to the following operations:
•
Cover the instrument with the dust cover after every use.
• Do not install the microscope in a humid room; maximum humidity < 75%.
•
Cover open tubes with the dust caps.
•
Remove dust and loose dirt from visible optical surfaces with a brush, blower brush, cotton bud,
optics cleaning tissue, or a cotton cloth.
•
Remove water-soluble dirt (coffee, cola, etc.) by blowing on it and subsequent wiping it off with a
cloth moistened with water to which you may also add a mild detergent.
•
Wipe off stubborn oily or fatty dirt (immersion oil, fingerprints) with a cotton bud or a lint-free cotton
cloth and the optics cleaning solution L.
The cleaning solution consists of 90 vol% gasoline and 10 vol% isopropanol (IPA). Its individual
constituents are also known as:
Gasoline: Medical alcohol, petrolether
Isopropanol: 2-Propanol,
Dimethylcarbinol,
2-Hydroxypropane
Clean optical surfaces by polishing in circles starting in the middle and moving to the edges using slight
pressure only.
For the use in humid climatic zones, all optical components of the microscope are provided with
protection against fungus attack.
