12 requirements for metallographic microscope care and maintenance work
1. The laboratory should have three prevention conditions: shockproof (away from the earthquake source), moistureproof (use air conditioner, dryer), dustproof (floor covered); power supply: 220V±10%, 50HZ; temperature: 0°C-40 °C.
2. When adjusting the focus, be careful not to let the objective lens touch the sample to avoid scratching the objective lens.
3. Do not switch the objective lens when the center of the round hole of the stage gasket is far away from the center of the objective lens to avoid scratching the objective lens.
4. Do not adjust the brightness from high to low, or too bright, which will affect the service life of the bulb and damage your eyesight.
5. All (function) switching should be done lightly and in place.
6. Adjust the brightness to the minimum when shutting down.
7. Non-professionals should not adjust the lighting system (filament position lamp) to avoid affecting the imaging quality.
8. When replacing the halogen lamp, pay attention to the high temperature to avoid burns; be careful not to directly touch the glass body of the halogen lamp with your hands.
9. When shutting down and not in use, adjust the objective lens to the lowest state through the focusing mechanism.
10. When the machine is shut down and not in use, do not cover the dust cover immediately. Wait until it cools down before covering it again. Pay attention to fire prevention.
11. Optical components that are not frequently used are placed in a drying dish.
12. Non-professionals should not try to clean the objective lens and other optical components. The eyepiece can be wiped with an absorbent cotton swab dipped in a 3:7 ratio (anhydrous alcohol: ether) mixed liquid and then wiped dry. Do not use other liquids to avoid damaging the eyepiece.
What you need to pay attention to when maintaining a microscope are the above 12 requirements. This will be of great help to the maintenance of the microscope, effectively extending the working life of the microscope, saving costs, and improving work efficiency.
