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.
