Unplug the power supply before performing
cleaning and maintenance work!
Protect electrical components from moisture!

Microscopes in warm and warm-damp climatic
zones require special care in order to prevent
fungus contamination.
The microscope should be cleaned after each
use, and the microscope optics should be kept
extremely clean.

To protect against dust, cover the microscope and
accessories with the dust cover after each use.

Let lamps cool down before covering the
stand with a dust cover. The dust cover is
not heat-resistant. In addition, condensation
may occur.

Residual fiber and dust can create unwanted
background fluorescence.

Dust and loose dirt particles can be removed
with a soft brush or lint-free cotton cloth.

Clinging dirt can be cleaned with a little soapy
water, benzine or ethyl alcohol.
For cleaning coated parts, use a linen or leather
cloth that is moistened with one of these sub-
stances.

Acetone, xylene or nitro-containing thinner
can harm the microscope and thus may not
be used.

Test clean solutions of unknown composition
first on a less visible area of the unit. Be sure
that coated or plastic surfaces do not become
matted or etched.
