6. Maintenance

• Cleaning the Lens: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses to gently wipe the lens surface. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Cleaning the Camera Body: Wipe the camera body and stand with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use, store the microscope camera and its components in a clean, dry, and dust-free environment. Use protective caps for the lens and camera sensor if available.
• Cable Care: Avoid bending or kinking the USB cable excessively to prevent internal damage.

7. Troubleshooting

No Image Displayed in Software:

• Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the camera and the computer.
• Verify that the camera drivers are correctly installed. Reinstall from the software disc if necessary.
• Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer.
• Restart the observation software or your computer.

Image is Blurry:

• Adjust the focus ring on the 150X C-Mount Lens until the image is sharp.
• Ensure the specimen is properly positioned and stable.
