If you are using immersion oil the high power objective lens (usually 100x) and the lens of the condenser should be thoroughly cleaned before storing. After using the microscope, turn off the illuminator and wait for it to cool for several minutes before putting it away. By allowing the bulb to cool you will extend its life. Also, make sure you do not store your microscope in an area that has corrosive chemical fumes that can destroy lenses or metal parts.The microscope should be stored with the oil immersion less in position over the stage.
