Handling and caring for a microscope properly will help prevent safety hazards and keep the machine in good working condition. Always carry a microscope with two hands. Place one hand under the base of the microscope and hold the arm with the other hand. Do not allow the microscope to drop or bump into anything while carrying it. This could damage the microscope or cause small pieces to break off that could cause a tripping hazard. Touching the microscope lens can smudge or damage it. Always use lens paper or a soft cloth with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to clean a dirty microscope lens. Remove slides and cover slips from the stage before storing the microscope, and rotate the nose piece so that the smallest power objective is facing the stage. Place a dust cover over the microscope when storing it to prevent dust and dirt from damaging the machine.
