I was in the field in Malawi two weeks ago and had a beekeeper show me his refractometer.  We could never get a clear reading on the scale in the device and I was unable to clear up the problem with cleaning and an attempted calibration.  We could read the numbers but could not get a good color contrast line to make a reading on the moisture content.  Does anyone have any advice on fixing this refractometer?

thanks,
