Which of the following should not be used when cleaning a refractor’s lenses?
  1. Alcohol
  2. Ether
  3. Ammonia-containing cleaner
  4. Lint-free cloth
Explanation
Answer: C - Ammonia-containing cleaner

Ammonia or ammonia-containing cleaners should never be used to clean a refractor’s lenses. Ammonia will corrode the lens coating. Instead, a lint-free cloth, slightly moistened with alcohol or ether, will do. The lenses can be dried with a tissue.
