Answer:

1.Always use two hands when moving the microscope.

2.When the microscope is not in use cover it with a dust cover or store it in a microscope case.

3.Clean after using immersion oil

If using immersion oil, always ensure the objectives are cleaned immediately after use. Objective, eyepieces and condenser may be removed for cleaning. Use only lens paper and lens cleaner. Do not use solvents.

4.Have your microscope serviced professionally

A rule of thumb for frequency of servicing is every 200 hours of use or every 3 years, whichever comes first.

5. Refer to the user’s manual

Your microscope should be sold with a user’s manual and specialist spanners as required. Always refer to the manual when making any adjustments to the microscope and use the supplied spanners. Never use force, inappropriate tools or over-tighten when making adjustments to your microscope, as this will only result in equipment damage.
