Storage of microscope
It is best to use cotton swabs and place the lens separately in the desiccant container. Wipe with gauze, soft brush and other soft things. Pay attention not to wipe with force to prevent damage to the coating layer. The oil mirror should be cleaned at that time, especially the 100x oil mirror. If it is not handled properly, the front piece is easy to be soaked with oil or glue. The eyepiece can be removed and cleaned by yourself. Be careful not to install the 16x eyepiece upside down, and the concave surface of the front plate is on the. Do not remove the objective lens casually. The pointer should not be made of hair, which is easy to dirty the lens. The manufacturer can provide a pointer. Generally, it's best to focus on maintenance once every 2 months. When the microscope is used for a long time, each lens should be labeled to avoid wrong matching.
Lens cleaning
Gauze, cotton swab for dust cleaning. Soft brushes and other soft things, pay attention to soft and slow. Some stubborn stains, such as oil stains and fingerprints, can be gently wiped off with clean soft cotton cloth, cotton stick, lens paper dipped in anhydrous alcohol. If the immersion oil is wiped off the oil lens, use lens paper, soft cotton cloth or gauze, dip it in xylene and wipe it gently. Note: do not clean the incident lens at the bottom of the binocular barrel or the prism surface in the eyepiece with xylene. Because pure alcohol and xylene are easy to burn, be careful not to ignite these liquids when turning on or off the power switch. Take precautions.
Cleaning of paint and plastic surfaces
Ether, against the use of organic solvents (such as alcohol). Thinner, etc.) to clean the paint and plastic surface of the instrument. It is recommended to use silicon cloth. There are more stubborn stains that can be cleaned with soft detergent. The plastic surface only needs to be cleaned with a soft cloth dipped in water.
Treatment of idle microscope
Please cover it with plastic cover when the microscope is not used for a long time such as holidays. And store it in a dry place to prevent dust and mildew. At the same time, I strongly recommend that you keep the objective lens and eyepiece in a container such as a dryer and put some desiccant.
