Subject: Cleaning microscopes
I was able to procure a wonderful polarizing Zeiss microscope, used, and with some tweaking now have it up and running. I do need to have it cleaned however, and was hoping to save some money by doing it myself, rather than having to pay an expensive technician to do so. I was going to use a proprietary lens cleaner that I use to clean my eyeglasses, but wondered if anyone knows what the preferred cleaner is for microscopes. Acetone, Toluene, ethylene glycol? I was planning on using lens cleaning tissue and wondered also if these are appropriate for the cleaning of high quality lenses as those in my Zeiss? *** Conservation DistList Instance 24:1 Distributed: Thursday, May 20, 2010 Message Id: cdl-24-1-018 ***Received on Wednesday, 19 May, 2010
