Introduction to Cleaning a Microscope Eyepiece
1. Use an ear wash ball to blow away dust
2. Dip a long fiber cotton swab in pure alcohol (100%). Long fibers are used to prevent short cotton fibers from remaining on the protective filter of microscope lenses or digital cameras. The purpose of 100% pure alcohol is to avoid leaving water marks after wiping.
3. Discard excess liquid (to prevent too much liquid from remaining on the surface of the lens).
4. Use the center of the lens as the center and push the dirt towards the edge of the lens in the same direction as the circle.
5. If there are dirt spots that cannot be removed, please contact the engineer. The engineer will take measures according to the situation to avoid loss of coating.
Many customers have reported that when using a microscope, they use a mixture of cleaning paper, alcohol, and ether to wipe the eyepiece and objective lens, but the effect is not ideal, and there is always dust on it that cannot be wiped off. The correct method should actually be to wrap the wooden strip with lens paper, dip it in a mixed solution (a mixture of alcohol and ether), start from the middle of the lens, and spiral outwards. The paper can only be used once per use and cannot be reused repeatedly
What can be seen with an optical microscope
1. The organelles visible under an optical microscope include mitochondria, chloroplasts, vacuoles, nucleoli, and other structures larger than 0.2 micrometers in size.
2. The organelles visible under an electron microscope include mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, centrosomes, lysosomes, vacuoles, ribosomes, peroxisomes, microbodies, bacterial plasmids, mitochondria, centrosomes, Golgi apparatus, and pores on the cell wall.
