On the D70, when the lens is removed, there is a white surface directly above the mirror that is the bottom of the viewer assembly. This surface accumulates particles that are seen through the viewer but not present on photographs. What is the proper method of cleaning this white surface, when particles are present.
This appears to be related to the viewer only and has no bearing on the quality of the photographic image, unlike sensor dust.

I am having the same problem with that. Just got mine back from service, but there is still some there. I am thinking of trying a piece of scotch tape. It does have ridges, so not sure how well it will work. I have tried blowing it off, prior to it going in, but to no avail.
Or maybe a PecPad and Eclipse on it. Will let ya know

Don't think I'd use scotch tape. I tried a q tip with a very light touch and ended up removing the particles but left strands of cotton tip. Blowing did not remove them. They seem magnetized to the surface. Tried lens paper wraped around a Q-tip, but so light was my touch and so afraid I was of scratching it that I really didn't do anything.
A liquid would definately get the job done but what liquid is safe for that surface?

Have you tried a q tip with the tip spayed with lens cleaner fluid?

heh...I remember reading something the other day where this guy turned one of those electric lighters into some gizzmo that he pointed directly into his camera, at his sensor, that de-magnetized the sensor, and the dust just falls off, as he claims. You might want to search for that -- although, a lot of people had a really big problem with it, some who were more mechanically and electrically inclined than myself, so I wouldn't try it...I thought it was funny and worth mentioning though.
