Maintenance and Cleaning

All digital microscopes and eyepiece camera internal components are sealed within the housing
and require only occasional cleaning to maintain their optical integrity.

1. It is recommended that these instruments be used and stored in a clean, cool
and dry environment and that care be taken to keep them free of dust and other
contaminants.

2. Avoid exposing to fumes and extreme temperatures and never immerse or rinse in
water.

3. If cleaning is required then first attempt to gently blow off any dust or other
contaminants with compressed air. If no compressed air is available then try to
lightly brush off any lose debris with a fine brush (a makeup brush will work
well).

4. If it becomes necessary to clean the lens then we recommend using a standard
optical lens cleaning solution. To make your own optical lens cleaning solution,
mix one part alcohol (C2H5OH) with three parts ether ((C2H5)2O). Simply
saturate a cotton swab and gently wipe the lens surface clean.

5. Avoid touching the surface of the lens with your finger tips. Also it is advised to
use the plastic or other scope or eyepiece cover when not in use.

CAUTION!!! Never disassemble or open the scope or camera body. This will introduce dust
and other contaminants and may cause permanent damage.
