Care and Maintenance
Lens Cleaning Keep the lens free of dust, fingerprints, etc. Dirt on the lenses or filters will affect image quality. If any of the lenses become dirty, clean them by the procedure given below. •
Brush away dust with a soft brush or wipe away gently with gauze.
•
If fingerprints or grease gets on a lens, moisten a piece of soft, clean cotton cloth, lens tissue, or gauze with absolute alcohol (ethyl or methyl alcohol) and wipe.
•
Use petroleum benzine only to remove immersion oil from the objective. For optimum results, we recommend following up petroleum benzine with absolute alcohol (ethyl or methyl alcohol). If petroleum benzine is unavailable, use methyl alcohol alone. When using just methyl alcohol, note that surfaces will need to be wiped repeatedly to ensure complete removal of immersion oil. Usually, three or four times should be sufficient to clean the lens.
•
Never use petroleum benzine to clean the entrance lens at the bottom of the eyepiece tube or prism surface of the eyepiece tube.
•
Absolute alcohol and petroleum benzine are highly flammable. Be careful when handling these materials, particularly around open flames or when turning the power switch on or off.
•
