After every use is probably the best time. Also, before is helpful as well.
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.
Microscope lenses should be cleaned with lens paper before each use. This maximizes the clarity.
The first step to clean a microscope lens is to take some lens cleaning paper that you can find in specialty shops or distributors of laboratory equipment. Alternatively, use certified cotton. Never touch the microscope lens with your fingertips since fingerprints can affect the microscope's visibility.
Always carry the microscope by putting one hand under the shoe-shaped base and grasping the curved stand that supports the tube and its lenses with the other hand. Everything should be in working order, clean and oil free of dust. If you have a slide with a prepared sample, place it on the stage of the microscope. To maintain the good condition of your microscope, first and foremost guard it from dust. Cover the microscope with a plastic hood when you are not using the instrument and always store it in its case. Clean the microscope carefully to avoid the scratch in the lenses. If some of the lenses have fingerprints, clean them either with lens paper or with some alcohol and a cotton swab. Rinse dirty slides and cover glasses in liquid detergent and warm water.
Light adjustment knob: It allows you to adjust the light where you can see the specimen, and set it so that you can comfortably use the microscope without straining your eyes. If the knob was broken and the light was too bright, you should not want to use it. Many people don't worry with it and put their light at maximum causing them eyestrain or headaches after some time.And the lenses are also important.
You would use the diaphragm and fine-adjustment knob.
