How do you properly clean the lenses on a microscope?

To properly clean the lenses on a microscope, start by using a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth or lens paper to gently wipe the lenses. If there are stubborn stains or smudges, moisten the cloth with a small amount of lens cleaning solution or distilled water, ensuring not to apply the liquid directly to the lens. Always clean in a circular motion from the center outward to avoid scratching the surface. Avoid using rough materials or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the lenses.
