Yea, I saw the Funk new microscope objective cleaner, but we have been 
using the purple stuff for a long time on Zeiss and Nikon objectives 
with no problems.... of course I do dilute it 1 part Sparkle to 3 parts 
distilled water.  I understand if you don't like the color, you can 
leave it in the sun for a day or so and it turns clear.  Never tried 
that... not needed in my opinion.
