Hi,
Kimwipe is a lint-free paper. I am wondering whether Kimwipe can be
used to clean microscope lenses and to wipe out from oil lenses without
damaging.

I wouldn't trust it to not leave scratches. Lens paper isn't that
expensive; and it's designed specifically not to damage your lenses...

Just a note. I've used Kimwipes for at least 11 years and absolutely no
scratches , approx. 10,000 'scopes. A number of my colleagues do the same.
Mostly lens paper resembles the paper used to wrap hot dogs at the old state
fair. Good substitutes are traditional Kleenex and Publix tissue. Of
course you have to be carefull and use only new Kimwipes.

Years ago Kimberly-Clark hired me, I wound up in the Kimwipe research area.
How cool was that? They showed me everything about Kimwipes including the
wipe your sky scraper size kimwipes.

By the way most lens coatings are tougher than the glass they sit on.

Thanks!
