Turn Off and Unplug the Microscope
Before cleaning, always switch off your microscope and unplug it. This prevents electrical hazards and keeps the microscope stable during cleaning.
Remove Dust with a Bulb Blower
Dust and debris can accumulate on lenses and internal components. Use a bulb blower to gently remove particles from the eyepiece, objective lenses, and stage. Avoid using compressed air cans or air blowers, as they can introduce moisture and also push dust further into an optical system. For the best results, we highly recommend our Professional Microscope Cleaning Kit, designed specifically to maintain and protect your microscope. Always have the surface being cleaned facing downward.
Wipe Lenses with Lens Paper and Cleaning Solution
Never use regular tissues or cloths to clean microscope lenses—they can cause scratches. Instead, use lens paper with a few drops of lens cleaning solution to gently wipe the eyepieces, objectives, and condenser lenses.
*Cleaning fluid should not be used on coated lenses
Clean the Stage and Microscope Body
Use a microfiber cloth with a mild detergent solution to wipe down the stage and microscope body. Make sure no liquid seeps into internal parts.
