V. Maintenance and repair
Cleaning
Keep all lenses clean. Fine dust on the surface of the lens should be gently blown off
with an air canister or wiped off with a soft lens cloth or lens tissue. Stubborn fingerprint
smudges or oil marks can be wiped off with lens tissue moistened with a small amount
of xylene or a 3:7 mixture of alcohol and ether. Never use organic solutions to clean any
other surface (especially the plastic surfaces). If necessary, please choose a mild
detergent.
Storage
After use, cover the microscope with the dust cover provided and store it in a dry and
clean place free from moisture to prevent rust. Remove the eyepieces when not in use,
and place covers on the eyepiece holders.
Repair
Do not attempt repairs on your own, particularly on the optical parts. Contact a Swift
Optical representative through our customer service email or phone line with any
issues.

issues and easy solutions you can try before calling customer support for service.

servicing should only be done by a Swift technician.
