GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Definitely don’t clean the lenses with paper towels, Kleenex, fingers, or anything along those lines. You can wind up leaving more lint and dirt behind or potentially scratching the lens. We have two types of lens paper available.

Detailed explanation-2: -To clean the dipping lenses of your microscope, rinse off residual salt with distilled water. Then, wick away the remaining water and finally, wipe the lens clean with lens tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -It’s important to use lens paper for this step rather than facial tissues, lab tissues, or paper towels. Consumer tissues contain loose, coarse fibers that can scratch the lens surface or break off and remain on the lens.

Detailed explanation-4: -These are light, lintless tissue sheets for cleaning delicate optical surfaces. Also, use these fine, translucent lens tissues to clean electron microscope parts, glass lenses (coated and uncoated), other critical surfaces, tools and instruments.

Detailed explanation-5: -Although general lab wipes and tissues can be used for cleaning the microscope body and stage, these should never be used to clean lenses. Lens cleaning tissues are designed to be less abrasive than lab wipes as well as being tightly woven to prevent fibres being left on the optics after use.
