Follow Microscopists,

A while back we discussed objective cleaning procedures (i.e. which solvents should/shouldn't be used, what ratios they should be used in, etc.). I remember someone gave a link to a company that produces a Newtonian telescope mirror cleaner. Do any of you use this with convex meniscus shaped objective lenses with success? The reason I'm asking is because they are some of the hardest things to clean with lens cleaning tissue. Looking forward to hear what you all have to say.

Happy Imaging!
