Cleaning Information
What do I need for proper cleaning?
water, as this may cause mechanical stress, which can damage your
optical device.
Ensure that your liquid soap has no abrasive properties or perfume
in it. You should also avoid normal washing-up liquid, as it can
cover your device in an iridescent film after it has been air-dried.
Some lenses and mirrors also have a special coating, which may be
sensitive to mechanical stress, or to fat and liquids. For this reason
we recommend you do not touch them.
If you are not sure how sensitive your device is to cleaning, please
contact the manufacturer or your sales distributor.
Premoistened cleaning wipes
Use pre-moistened cleaning wipes as described in each individual
cleaning procedure. Cleaning wipes may be used in every instance
where a moistened soft tissue or cotton swab is applied.
Polymer film
Polymer film is available from laboratory suppliers or specialist
mail order companies.
Using polymer film is a gentle method of cleaning extremely
sensitive devices, such as reference reflectors and mirrors.
Infrared Sensor Card
Infrared sensor cards are available from laboratory suppliers or
specialist mail order companies.
With this card you are able to control the shape of laser light
emitted. The invisible laser beam is projected onto the sensor card,
then becomes visible to the normal eye as a round spot.
Take care never to look into the end of a fiber or any other optical
component, when they are in use. This is because the laser can
seriously damage your eyes.
