CARE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

4.1

Instrument care

Care of the microscope is restricted to the following operations:
• Cover the instrument with the dust cover after every use.
• Do not install the microscope in a humid room; maximum humidity < 75%.
• Cover open tubes with the dust caps.
• Remove dust and loose dirt from visible optical surfaces with a brush, blower brush, cotton bud, optics
cleaning tissue, or a cotton cloth.
• Remove water-soluble dirt (coffee, cola, etc.) by blowing on it and subsequent wiping it off with a
dust-free cotton cloth or a cloth moistened with water to which you may also add a mild detergent.
• Wipe off stubborn oily or fatty dirt (immersion oil, fingerprints) with a cotton bud or a dust-free cotton
cloth and the optics cleaning solution L.
The cleaning solution consists of 90 vol% gasoline and 10 vol% isopropanol (IPA). Its individual
constituents are also known as:
Gasoline: Surgical spirit, petroleum ether
Isopropanol: 2-propanol,
dimethyl carbinol,
2-hydroxypropane
Clean optical surfaces by polishing in circles starting in the middle and moving to the edges using slight
pressure only.
Disconnect the plug-in power unit from the supply line before cleaning it. Make sure that no moisture
gets into the plug-in power unit.
For the use in warm and humid climatic zones, all optical components of the microscope are provided
with protection against fungus attack.
