CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Do Not Disassemble
1.
Disassembly may significantly affect the performance of the instrument, may result in electric
shock or injury, and will void the warranty.
2. Never attempt to dismantle any parts other than described in this manual. If you notice any
malfunction, contact your Richter Optica representative.
Cleaning the Microscope
1. Do not use organic solvents such as ether, alcohol or paint thinner on painted surfaces or
plastic components. Doing so could result in discoloration of surfaces.
2. When cleaning lenses do not use any solvents other than absolute alcohol, as they may
damage lens bonding cement.
3. Do not use petroleum benzene when cleaning components such as lenses.
4.
Absolute alcohol and petroleum benzene are highly flammable. Keep away from open flames
and when turning power switch on and off.
5. For stubborn dirt, dampen a piece of gauze with diluted neutral detergent and wipe gently.
When Not In Use
1. When not in use, cover the instrument with a dust cover and store in a place low in humidity
where mold is not likely to form.
2. Proper handling of the microscope will ensure years of trouble free service.
3. If repair becomes necessary, please contact Richter Optica at info@richter-optica.com.
