uEye Camera Manual Version 3.80
Cleaning the Filter Glasses
When handling the uEye camera with its lens removed, the filter glass can get soiled from the outside. This might be visible in the images that are captured. The filter glass should therefore be cleaned in that case.

Instructions for cleaning uEye filter glasses
• | The filter glasses may only be cleaned from the outside. If you remove the glasses, the sensor might get soiled. Imaging Development Systems GmbH is not liable for any damage to the sensor resulting from removal of the filter glasses. |
• | First, remove dirt particles on the glass using compressed air. Do not use compressed air from compressors or spray cans since it often contains oil droplets or droplets of other liquids. For best results, use purified nitrogen from nitrogen bottles. |
• | Only use lint-free wipes or cotton-free swabs for cleaning. Never touch the filter glasses with your bare fingers because often, fingerprints cannot be removed completely afterwards. |
• | We recommend to use pure alcohol for cleaning. 100% isopropyl alcohol evaporates without leaving any residues. Only add small quantities of alcohol to the wipe. Never pour alcohol directly onto the camera. |

Cameras with fixed filter glass
Use a wipe to wipe off dirt particles in a single sweep beyond the edge of the filter glass (see figure below).
