Maintenance
- Cleaning the Lens and Screen: Use the provided cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the lens and screen. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution can be applied to the cloth (not directly to the lens/screen).
- Cleaning the Body: Wipe the microscope body and stand with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: When not in use, store the microscope in a clean, dry, and dust-free environment. Consider covering it to prevent dust accumulation.
- SD Card Management: Regularly back up important images and videos from the SD card to prevent data loss. Format the SD card periodically to maintain optimal performance.
