Brief Guide to Cleaning Procedures for Metallographic Microscopes
Among so many metallographic equipment, the use of mathematical formulas for metallographic microscopes is common, but maintenance of metallographic equipment can sometimes be costly. In fact, cleaning metallographic microscopes is very convenient, and the methods are as follows:
1. When cleaning various glass components, gently wipe them with gauze to remove fingerprints or oil stains. Use a small amount of ether (70%) and alcohol (30%) mixed solution to wet the gauze and wipe it;
2. Do not splash any liquid onto the microscope. If it splashes, immediately turn the main switch to "O", unplug the power cord, and then wipe off any liquid splashed onto or under the objective lens;
3. Do not use organic solvents to wipe non optical parts of the microscope. If you want to clean these parts, please use a lint free soft cloth dipped in a small amount of neutral detergent to wipe them;
If the objective lens is not installed, be sure to cover the installation screw hole on the objective lens converter to prevent dust and splashed
tissue culture medium from entering the inside of the lens;
5. When not in use, please use a dust cover to cover the microscope. Before covering the microscope, be sure to wait for the lamp holder to cool sufficiently;
6. Do not disassemble any part of the microscope, as this may result in reduced performance or malfunction;
7. Using equipment that emits ultraviolet radiation near the microscope may cause discoloration of the colored parts (yellow) on the surface of the microscope, avoiding direct contact between the microscope and it.
