dity: 85 % (non condensing).
- Keep the microscope away from dust and shocks while in use.
- Turn off the light immediately after use.

water and drying immediately with a lint-free cloth.
- After use, cover the microscope with the included dust-cover, and keep it in a dry and clean
place.

- Wipe the surface of any optical items with your hands. Fingerprints can damage the optics.
- Use solvents, neither on the microscope, nor on the optics.

- Clean the unit with volatile solvents or abrasive cleaners.

cloth) and insert it into the holder. Replace/close the lamp holder.
