base with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Be sure the
instrument is dry before using.

Cleaning optical parts
Microscope eyepieces and objectives are coated.
They should not be wiped while dry as dirt or dust may scratch the coating. It is
best to remove parts from the frame prior to cleaning. Always blow loose dust
away first. Use cotton swabs or lens tissue moistened with a lens cleaner or a
small amount of alcohol, then wipe the surface clean with a good quality lens
tissue. Solvents such as Xylene should NOT be used as a cleaner.
