Become a master of sensor maintenance with the Photographic Solutions Sensor Cleaning Swab Kit, an essential tool for photographers seeking pristine image quality. This comprehensive kit includes everything you need for effective and safe cleaning of CCD and CMOS sensors, as well as other delicate optical surfaces.
Optic Cleaning Fluid: The kit features the renowned Eclipse Optic Cleaning Fluid, the purest lens cleaner available. Its high concentration of methanol ensures rapid drying without residue, making it the only recommended cleaner for CCD and CMOS sensor cleaning when used with SENSOR SWAB ULTRA. While powerful, it should be used with care to avoid prolonged contact that may affect lens coatings. For lens and filter cleaning, pair it with PEC-PAD non-abrasive wipes to target specific dirty areas and prevent "hazy swirls.
"Aeroclipse Cleaning Fluid: This digital imaging sensor cleaner meets the same high standards of purity as Eclipse but is non-flammable, containing less methanol. It is safe for all digital sensors and critical optics, providing the same cleaning power without the flammability concerns, making it travel-safe for both checked and carry-on baggage.
Sensor Swab Ultra: Designed specifically for cleaning CCD and CMOS sensors, Sensor Swab ULTRA is engineered with pointed tips to effectively reach and clean the spaces between the sensor and the baffle, where debris often accumulates. Manufactured and sealed in a clean room, these swabs offer unmatched purity and are more absorbent, leaving no fibers behind. Available in four sizes, they feature end points for cleaner corners, a textured surface for enhanced debris collection, and welded seams for fabric stability. The channeled handle ensures a secure grip during use.
Directions for Use: Before beginning, ensure your camera battery is fully charged and loose dust is removed with a suitable blower or brush. Dispense several drops of cleaning fluid onto a swab, then firmly drag one side across the sensor. Repeat in the opposite direction with the clean side. Discard the swab after use and repeat with a new swab if necessary. Always keep the swab in its plastic bag until ready to use to prevent contamination.
Note: Frequent cleaning may be required if using zoom lenses or bellows, as they can increase contaminants in the sensor area. With proper use, the Sensor Swab ULTRA digital imaging sensor cleaner is easy, safe, and delivers excellent results, ensuring your camera's sensor remains spotless for optimal image capture.
