Lacerta Optics Cleaning Kit
Quality optics deserve quality care. The Lacerta cleaning kit contains everything you need for safe and effective cleaning of telescope lenses, eyepieces, camera lenses, microscopes, and other sensitive optical equipment - with full consideration for the environment.
Kit Contents
The set includes four essential tools for complete optical cleaning:
- Cleaning fluid - specially formulated for delicate optical surfaces
- Microfibre cloth - leaves optical surfaces streak-free and lint-free
- Air bellows - removes dust particles without any direct contact with the optical surface
- Cleaning brush - for gentle removal of dust and loose particles from lens surfaces and hard-to-reach areas
Plant-Based Cleaning Fluid
The Lacerta cleaning fluid is composed exclusively of natural plant-based ingredients - specifically phenoxyethanol, d-limonene, an antistatic agent, and plant-based fragrances. It contains no petroleum derivatives and no alcohol, making it gentle on anti-reflection coatings and other protective surface treatments applied to optical lenses. Aggressive chemical solvents can gradually damage multi-layer anti-reflection coatings - with the Lacerta cleaning fluid, this risk is eliminated entirely.
The fluid is 100% biodegradable, so using it causes no environmental burden. The pleasant citrus scent - d-limonene is a natural extract from citrus fruit - is a welcome detail you will appreciate with every cleaning session.
Recommended Cleaning Procedure
For best results, follow this sequence: first remove any loose dust particles using the air bellows or the soft cleaning brush, to avoid dragging abrasive particles across the surface during wiping. Then apply a small amount of cleaning fluid to the microfibre cloth - never directly onto the lens - and clean the surface with gentle circular motions from the center outward. This method reliably removes fingerprints, grease, and fine deposits without any risk of damage to the optical surface.
Suitable Optics
The Lacerta cleaning kit is suitable for all sensitive optical equipment - eyepieces and objective lenses of astronomical telescopes, camera lenses and photographic objectives, microscope optics, binoculars, spotting scopes, and other optical instruments. Thanks to its gentle, chemical-free formulation, it is safe for use on coated, fully multi-coated, and otherwise treated optical glass surfaces.
