excessive mechanical force. Do not apply excessive pressure when adjusting focus. Do not overtighten the locking screws. Store the device in a
dry, cool place away from hazardous acids and other chemicals, away from heaters, open fire and other sources of high temperatures. If you
are not using the device for extended periods of time, store the objective lenses and eyepieces separately from it. Be careful during your

illumination lamp. Regardless of the lamp type (halogen or incandescent), give it some time to cool down before trying to change it, and
always change it to a lamp of the same type.
