Keeping the microscope optics clean is important for high-quality imaging. Dust, fingerprints, excess immersion oil, or mounting medium on or in a microscope causes reduction in contrast and resolution. DIC is especially sensitive to contamination and scratches on the lens surfaces. This protocol details the procedure for keeping the microscope clean.

Thank you so much. I find this explanation very helpful. I work with microscopes but I am nos specialist in them so I stand corrected of some mistakes I may have done in the past cleaning my microscopes. Thank you very much. |

Brilliant. Clear, concise and useful. If only everyone who used our microscope were made to watch this first.
Thank-you |
