|    Cleaning spectrophotometer mirrors?    |
|    19 May 12 00:39:53    |
      From: greif1nospamhere@rochester.rr.com              I am working on a Cary 5 spectrophotometer which seems to have low       energy. The spinning mirror and first lamphouse mirror are quite covered       in what looks like fine hazy dust. I have been told to clean the first       mirror, and the spinning mirror looks bad enough I think it needs       cleaning also.              I have some cotton wool as well as reagent grade acetone, iso-alcohol,       and methyl alcohol on order.              Will I be safe enough(and clean enough)with very very gentle wiping? I       know I am not supposed to touch gratings at all, but are other mirrors       ok for this treatment?              Any info on technique appreciated!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
