The new lamp should be supplied in a plastic protective envelope. If
not, use a tissue or other medium to grasp the lamp. This will prevent
contamination from your hand from reducing the lamp's intensity and
life.
Reinstall the cover board to the lamp house and retighten the screw.
If necessary, you may need to readjust the lamp as previously
described.

Disconnect the plug from mains socket before cleaning. Clean the
frame and stage with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Be sure the instrument is dry before using.
Microscope eyepieces and objectives are coated.
They should not be wiped while dry as dirt or dust may scratch the
coating. It is best to remove parts from the frame prior to cleaning.
Always blow loose dust away first. Use cotton swabs or lens tissue
moistened with a lens cleaner or a small amount of alcohol, then
wipe the surface clean with a good quality lens tissue. Solvents
such as Xylene should NOT be used as cleaner.
The immersion oil should be removed from the lens at the end of
each workday using cotton swabs or lens tissue moistened with a
lens cleaner or a small amount of alcohol.
