 Help objective cleaning Hi everyone, I recently found an old microscopy and I noticed that one of the objective is unusable due a layer of green that partially covers the lens. At first I thought of rust but the fact that also the lens is envolved, made me think of some kind of mold. I really would like to recover the objective but I'm kinda new of the field so maybe someone more expert could help me with the cleaning process, if possible. I include a pic as reference (only part of the url since I don't have 5 posts yet): i55.tinypic.com/29kt72r.jpg thanks  |

Re: Help objective cleaning  That does look like some mold and rust. Have you tried adding some distilled water to it to try to carefully wash it off without rubbing it? Maybe with a dropper. |
