7.0 Maintenance
7.1 Always think about
- The following environment is required: Indoor temperature: 0-40°C,
Maximum relative humidity: 85 % (not condensing)
- Keep the microscope away from dust and shocks while in use.
- Turn off the light immediately after use.
- Use a soft lens tissue to clean the optics after use.
- Only if needed, use a cloth moistened with water and a mild detergent,
rinsing with water and drying immediately with a lint-free cloth.
- After use, cover the microscope with the included dust-cover, and keep it
in a dry and clean place.
7.2 Do not!
-
Wipe the surface of any optical items with your hands. Fingerprints can
damage the optics.
- Use solvents, neither on the microscope, nor on the optics.
- Disassemble objective or eyepieces to attempt to clean them.
- Mishandle or impose unnecessary force on the microscope.
- Clean the unit with volatile solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Attempt to service the microscope yourself.
7.3 How to change the lamp
Before changing the lamp, you must switch it off, pull the plug out of the
electrical socket. To avoid being burnt, wait until the lamp has cooled down.
Unscrew the condensing lens above the lamp. Then remove the old lamp and
replace it with a new one. Replace the condensing lens
7.4 If you need to send the microscope to JC LAB for maintenance, please
use the original packaging
