Cleaning the Lens
Always keep the lens clean. A clean lens is important for good pictures and accurate measurements. To clean the lens:
- Lightly blow off loose particles with “canned” air or a small squeeze below.
- Gently brush off any remaining particles with a soft camel hair brush or a soft lens tissue.
- Clean the remaining dirt using a cotton swab or soft lens tissue dampened in distilled water. Do not scratch the surface.
- For fingerprints or other grease, apply Ethanol or denatured alcohol to the lens. First, Apply one of the above to the lens. Wipe gently with a soft, clean cloth until you see colors on the surface, then allow to air dry.
- If silicones (used in hand creams) get on the window, gently wipe the surface with Hexane. Allow to air dry.
