11. Care of the Comparison Macroscope
Caution:
Unplug the power supply before performing
cleaning and maintenance work!
Protect electrical components from mois-
ture!
Macroscopes in warm and warm-damp climatic
zones require special care in order to prevent
the build up of fungus.
The comparison macroscope should be cleaned
after each use, and the macroscope optics
should be kept painstakingly clean.
11.1 Dust Cover
Note
To protect against dust, cover the macroscope
and accessories with the dust cover after each
use.
11.2 Cleaning
Caution:
Residual fiber and dust can create unwanted
background fluorescence.
Cleaning Coated Parts
Dust and loose dirt particles can be removed
with a soft brush or lint-free cotton cloth.
Clinging dirt can be cleaned as necessary with
all commercially available water solutions, ben-
zene or alcohol.
For cleaning coated parts, use a linen or leather
cloth that is moistened with one of these sub-
stances.
Caution:
Acetone, xylene or distillations containing nitro
can harm the macroscope and thus may not be
used.
Test cleaning solutions of unknown composition
on a less visible area of the unit first. Be sure
when doing so that coated or plastic surfaces
do not become matted or etched.
Cleaning the Stage
Remove light-colored spots on the stage by rub-
bing with paraffin oil or acid-free Vaseline.
Cleaning Glass Surfaces
Remove dust on glass surfaces with a fine, dry
and grease-free hair brush, by blowing with a
bellows or vacuum suction.
