How to clean microscope lens
Cleaning of microscope lenses: Cleaning precision optical components may reduce their performance, and improper or unnecessary cleaning can easily damage the surface coating of the components. So, don't wipe the lens unless absolutely necessary. Fingerprints, dust, and water stains on the surface of the lens do not have a significant impact on imaging. A more professional cleaning step is to blow off surface dust with clean air. If it cannot be blown clean, wrap two pieces of lens paper around a cotton swab or fold the lens paper to make it slightly larger than the area to be cleaned. 2. When wiping circular parts, the cotton ball should move in a spiral line from the center to the edge, and the cotton ball itself should also rotate, and the cotton ball should be removed from the surface of the lens in a timely manner. Do not stay at the edge of the lens to avoid leaving marks. If using a rotator to wipe, the cotton ball should move in a straight line from the center to the edge, and the cotton ball itself should rotate at the same time (the rotation of the cotton ball should be slightly less than one revolution). Fold the lens paper to make it slightly larger than the area to be cleaned. Attention: Before cleaning, the operator should carefully wash their hands with detergent and dry them with a degreased towel; A cotton ball can only be used to wipe once. Please do not dip the used cotton ball in solvent and reuse it; Before cleaning optical components, please remove rings and other accessories from your hands, carefully clean your hands, and wear gloves; In the workplace, if hands sweat or come into contact with grease, they should be cleaned again according to the requirements.
