Celestron 44306 Manuel D'instructions page 13

Your microscope and digital camera are precision optical instruments and should be treated with
care at all times. Follow these care and maintenance suggestions and your microscope will need
very little maintenance throughout its lifetime.
Turn off the illuminator when you are done using the microscope.
If you will not be using your microscope for a long period of time, remove the batteries.
Always place the dust cap on the eyepiece or on the camera sensor when not in use or
when being stored.
Store the microscope in a dry and clean place.
Be very careful if using your microscope in direct sun light to prevent damage to the
microscope or your eyes.
Never point the sensor on the camera towards the sun or the camera can be damaged and
cease working.
Clean the outside surfaces with a moist cloth.
Never clean optical surfaces with cloth or paper towels as they can scratch optical
surfaces easily.
Blow off dust with a camel's hair brush or air blower off optical surfaces.
To clean fingerprints off of optical surfaces, use a lens cleaning agent and lens tissue
available at most photo outlets and when cleaning do not rub in circles as this may cause
sleeks or scratches to occur.
Never disassemble or clean internal optical surfaces. This should be done by qualified
technicians at the factory or other authorized repair facilities.
Do not disassemble or take apart the digital camera or damage can occur.
When handling glass specimen slides, use care as the edges can be sharp.
