First of all, as a precision equipment, the microscope needs regular maintenance and upkeep.
During the rainy season, it should be turned on frequently even if it is not in use to prevent moisture and mildew.
Secondly, you should also pay attention to the following points when using it:
1. Be careful when operating and avoid sudden and violent vibrations. Do not place it near the air inlet and exhaust holes of the air conditioner.
2. Do not use excessive force to force various adjustment devices to cross the limit.
3. You can use absolute alcohol to wipe, and use lens paper when wiping.
4. No part of the microscope should be disassembled during use.
5. When the microscope is not in use, turn off the switch and cover it with a dust cover.
6. Hands and samples must be clean during operation, and samples with wet corrosive agents must not be observed under a microscope to avoid corrosion of optical devices such as objective lenses.
7. The metallographic microscope is a precise and valuable optical instrument that must be used and kept very carefully.
8. The location where the metallographic microscope is placed should be kept dry, clean, and ventilated frequently.
