14. Repair and maintenance
Microscopy environment
This microscope is recommended for use in a clean, dry and
shock free environment with a temperature of 0-40°C and a
maximum relative humidity of 85 % (non condensing). Use a
dehumidifier if needed.
The microscope should always be kept vertical when moving it
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 down the illumination intensity control and turn
the light off. Cover the microscope with included the dust cover,
and keep it in a dry and clean place.
Before plugging in the power supply, make sure that the
supplying voltage 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 has acquired the CE safety label. However, users do
have full responsibility to use this equipment safely.
Cleaning the optics
If the optical parts require cleaning first use compressed air.
If that is not sufficient use a soft lint-free 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.
Remember to never wipe the surface of any optical items
with your hands. Fingerprints can damage the optics. Do not
disassemble objectives or eyepieces attempting to clean them.
For the best results, use the VWR cleaning kit.
If you need to send the microscope to manufacturer for
maintenance, please use the original packaging.
