How are you supposed to clean the lenses in your microscope?
To clean the lenses of your microscope, use lens paper or a microfiber cloth specifically designed for optical surfaces to avoid scratching. Dampen the cloth with a small amount of lens cleaning solution or distilled water, and gently wipe the lenses in a circular motion. Avoid using excessive pressure and never apply liquid directly to the lens. Ensure that the lenses are completely dry before using the microscope again.
What type of microscope has multiple lenses?

When should you clean the lenses of a microscope?
After every use is probably the best time. Also, before is helpful as well.
What instrument uses light and lenses is used to view cells?
An optical microscope uses light and one or more lenses to view cells. An optical microscope with two or more lenses is called a compound optical microscope.
What part reflects the microscope light?
The mirror or a light source reflects the light onto the specimen placed on the stage of a microscope. The objective lens then focuses this light on the specimen, allowing for magnification and visualization.
What does the objective lenses on the microscope do?
The objective lenses on a microscope collects light and brings the specimens into focus.

Rules to follow when handling a microscope?
1. Always carry the microscope in an upright position with two hands. One hand should support the base and the other should be on the on the arm. Use lens paper and lens cleaning solution to clean the lenses on the microscope. Paper towel will scratch the lenses. Use a soft cloth to clean other parts of the microscope. Lens cleaning fluid and paper is a must. Do not substitute paper towel, which is far too coarse and will scratch the lenses. Always set your microscope on a clean, flat surface. 5. Always remove slides from the stage and rotate the nosepiece to the lowest power before returning the microscope to its storage area.
