Dust on an eyepiece, a thumbprint on an objective or dried immersion oil on the oil lens can make a good microscope look faulty. Regular cleaning keeps images sharp and protects the optics of compound and stereo microscopes in school and college labs, where many hands use the same instruments every week.
Work from dry to wet: first blow loose grit away with the air blower, then sweep with the brush so particles cannot scratch the lens when it is wiped. Next, moisten a lens tissue or cotton swab with a little lens fluid and wipe in a spiral from the centre outward, finishing with a dry tissue. Never pour fluid straight onto a lens, and do not dismantle objectives.

What is in the Microscope Cleaning Kit?
The Microscope Cleaning Kit contains a brush, an air blower, lens fluid, lint-free lens tissue or paper and cotton swabs. Quantities of each item are not listed, so ask us if you need a count for a tender or a stores record.
Can the Microscope Cleaning Kit remove immersion oil?
Yes. The lens fluid, lint-free lens tissue and cotton swabs in the Microscope Cleaning Kit are the usual tools for wiping immersion oil from an oil objective after use. Wipe gently with a moistened tissue, then finish with a dry one.

With the Microscope Cleaning Kit, a quick dust-off using the air blower and brush can follow every class, while a wet clean with lens fluid is needed only when fingerprints, smears or oil appear. Covering microscopes between classes reduces cleaning time.
Does the lens fluid in the kit have a shelf life?
The shelf life of the lens fluid in the Microscope Cleaning Kit depends on the fluid, its grade and storage conditions. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the bottle tightly closed, away from heat and sunlight.
