User:Andy Maloney/Notebook/Lab Notebook of Andy Maloney/2010/07/26/Microscope repair

Intro & Disclaimer

I need to post this for multiple reasons. The first being that I've already burned myself for not writing in my notebook about something I deemed too silly to write about. And, second, because everyone no one should know how to take apart their microscope and put it back together again.

• First, this may void your warranty. So don't do it.
• Second, you may ruin your optics. So don't do it.
• Third, you may ruin vital components that are very expensive to replace. So don't do it.
• Fourth, if you are not confident in what you are doing, you will break your microscope. So don't do it.
• Fifth, just don't do it. Unless you really need to clean your microscope. If that's the case, call in a technician.

Under no circumstance am I telling you it's okay to do this. Nor am I implying that what I had to do to fix my microscope is what you should do either. If you do take apart your equipment, you do so with no warranty from me and at your own risk of injury to yourself and your equipment.

In fact, you shouldn't read any further and you should just call a technician to come and fix your microscope. These are my notes and you shouldn't use them.
