Why You Need to Service Your Microscope

It is known that the microscope consists of optical and non optical parts. Non-optical parts are composed of parts where you need to adjust their function in the process of service. Meanwhile, in optical parts, there is a process of cleaning the lens in which each lens depends on its magnification. The greater the magnification is, the more the lens layers compose.

The function of microscope is influenced by several things, such as the age of microscope, the intensity of usage, and user behavior. Related to the cleanliness of the lens/ lens focus strength, it depends on the character/ behavior/ type / capacity/ capability/ knowledge and responsibility of someone to use microscope well.

For example is when someone uses a microscope and uses a powerful zoom lens for instance; 400 times/1000 times. Then, the objective lens position will automatically move closer to the object slide of microscope that is mounted on an object table. If the object is fresh or even contains staining, then the dye/ liquid is automatically attached to the objective lens. If the person is knowledgeable and aware about the use of a microscope, he will clean the objective lens with alcohol on lens tissue directly.

The user behavior and the location/ place of storage are also able to cause damage to the mechanic/ optic. The dysfunction of microscope in the mechanics includes the tube of ocular and revolver (the place of objective lens) that always fall, so that the observation is unable to focus.

Meanwhile, the user behavior that causes the lens mold is never clean again (with a lens tissue), especially after using a strong magnification (e.g. 100x objective lens). Microscope which is not placed in cool, dry, dust free and acid free place will influence the growth of fungus on the lens/ microscope optical part. Even, if you place it without silica gel and sufficient lighting.

In conclusion, microscope needs special maintenance for the treatment of its function.

Optical microscope is the simplest of the microscopes. This kind of microscope, often referred to as the "light microscope", is a type of microscope which uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small samples.However, same as other microscopes, it also needs good maintenance.
