REPAIRMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF MICROSCOPES IN SCIENCE LABORATORY DEPARTMENT IN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY (I.M.T) ENUGU

ABSTRACT

Microscope is a device used for examining small objects and tiny living organisms like bacteria, fungi etc that cannot be seen with the naked eye.  The primary aim of this research work is to repair and give adequate maintenance of laboratory microscopes in Science Laboratory Technology Department in Institute of Management and Technology (I.M.T) Enugu.  This was achieved by replacing all the missing parts, lubricating the rusty parts.  If followed by cleaning the microscope with clean rag and checking all the functional parts to know whether there is any further mal functioning in the parts replaced, plugging it to the source of light electricity to ensure that is an good working orders.  Moreso, the lenses were cleaned with clean rag immersed in xylene and xylem oil.  Any finally coupled back for use.
