I) GENERAL CLEANING
Your Microscope has been engineered for a long and safe operational life with the least amount of mainte-
nance required. In general, routine maintenance is limited to keeping the microscope working parts lubri-
cated and optics clean.
•
Clean all glass components by wiping gently with cleaning cloth provided. To remove fingerprints or oil
smudges, wipe with cleaning cloth slightly moistened with a mixture of petroleum (85%) and isopropa-
nol (15%).
Since solvents such as petroleum and isopropanol are highly flammable, they must be handles carefully. Be
sure to keep these chemicals away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks- for example,
electrical equipment that is being switched “ON” or “OFF”. Also remember to always use these
chemicals only in a well-ventilated room.
•
Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the microscope components other than the glass compo
-nents. To clean non-glass components, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neut
-ral detergent.
