What should you clean the lens on the microscope with?
I'd start with a microfiber cloth. If you must use a cleaning
compound I would use lens cleaner. If the lens is large enough and
you will have to do this regularly you might consider a thing
called a lens-pen.
Asked in Microscopes
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.
