This Microscope is recommended to be used in a clean, dry and shock free
environment with a temperature of 10°-36°C and a maximum relative
humidity of 80 % (non condensing). Use a dehumidifier if needed.
To think about when and after using the microscope
- The microscope should always be kept vertically when moving it and be
careful so that no moving parts, such as the eyepieces, fall out
- Never mishandle or impose unnecessary force on the microscope
- Never attempt to service the microscope yourself.
- After use, turn off the light immediately, cover the microscope with the
provided dust-cover, and keep it in a dry and clean place
Electrical safety precautions

of your region matches with the operation voltage of the equipment and that
the lamp switch is in off position.
- Users should observe all safety regulations of the region. The equipment

Cleaning the optics
- If the optical parts need to be cleaned try first to: use compressed air
- If that is not sufficient: use a soft lint-free piece of cloth with water and a
mild detergent.
- And as a final option: use the piece of cloth moistened with a 3:7 mixture
of ethanol and ether.
-
Note: ethanol and ether are highly flammable liquids. Do not use them
near a heat source, near sparks or near electric equipment. Use these
chemicals in a well ventilated room.
