Lab temp range

[Dale]

What is a realistic temp range for my three scopes? They are stored in the
house, which is 66 to 73 deg. l have not had much time to learn how to
stabilize the lab temp, which has a small wall heater, and a thermostat controlled
ceiling vent.

I think I read somewhere that it needs to be cool and dry... What is meant by cool, I guess is a relative thing.. I would think 70º would be good.. high humidity seems to be a bad thing..

Humidity is a bigger problem than temperature. Air conditioning is the simplest answer to that.

Something like this will do it: http://www.daikinac.com/content/residen ... -humidity/

I do know that Metrology labs use 68 deg. as a standard temperature for precision inspection.. I think this is a world wide standard...

The manual for my Nikon says 32 to 102 deg F. That may be fine for the scope but not for
me!

Dale, Those are the minimum and maximum operating temps for the microscopes to operate. Make your lab comfortable for you.
