I know nothing about the structure of the E-410 or why tin oxide is used 
as filter coatings ahead of some sensors.  I only know that Photographic 
Solutions recommends Eclipse 2 vs Eclipse for cameras that have a tin 
oxide coating supposedly to prevent damage to the tin oxide from 
straight methanol.  Their web site specifies that Eclipse 2 be used on 
an E-410.  That's all I know.  Perhaps there is a tin oxide coating on 
the plastic membrane or maybe it is possible to spill or drip methanol 
behind the membrane directly onto the sensor.
