IV. Operation & Maintenance Specifications

4.1 Standardized Operation Procedures

1. Product Cleaning (Mandatory Pre-Use Step)

Routine Cleaning: Gently wipe both sides of the microscope slide/coverslip with lens tissue or chamois to remove surface dust and fingerprints.
Deep Cleaning: For oil stains or stubborn dirt, dip a lint-free cloth in a small amount of anhydrous ethanol (or ethanol-ether mixture, 1:1 ratio) and wipe in a single direction to avoid scratches from back-and-forth rubbing.
Post-Cleaning Inspection: Observe under natural light after cleaning to confirm no residual dirt or scratches, preventing impact on observation results.

2. Sample Preparation & Coverslip Placement (Core Operation Steps)

Sample Placement: Evenly spread liquid samples or sectioned samples on the center of the smooth surface of the microscope slide. Control sample thickness between 0.1-0.5mm (to avoid improper coverslip fitting due to excessive thickness).
Coverslip Handling: Hold one edge of the coverslip with tweezers and gently touch the edge of the sample droplet at a 45° angle with the other edge.
Slow Coverage: Lower the coverslip slowly at a constant speed, allowing the liquid to spread naturally under surface tension and expel air bubbles. For a small number of bubbles, lightly press the edge of the coverslip to assist bubble removal.
Excess Liquid Treatment: If liquid overflows, gently absorb it with absorbent paper (avoid forceful wiping to prevent coverslip displacement).

4.2 Maintenance & Storage Specifications

Maintenance Category	Maintenance Requirements	Notes	Maintenance Cycle
Daily Maintenance	Clean immediately after each use to remove sample residues	Do not wipe with rough materials such as hard paper or gauze to avoid surface scratches	After each use
Long-Term Storage	1. Store in a dedicated slide storage box (with card slots) after cleaning and drying; 2. Storage environment should be dry (relative humidity ≤ 60%), cool (temperature 15-25℃), and free of corrosive gases; 3. Avoid stacking to prevent deformation or surface wear from pressure	Do not store with corrosive reagents such as hydrofluoric acid or strong alkalis; clean the storage box regularly to prevent dust accumulation	When not in use for a long period
Wear Inspection	Regularly check for scratches, cracks, and normal transmittance	Discontinue use in high-precision experiments if deep scratches, bubbles, or cracks are found (to avoid affecting observation results)	Every 10 uses or once a month
