Articles, kits and methods adapted for facilitating adjustability of operative apparatuses

A method for adapting an imaging element cleaning apparatus for use with a visualization scope, comprising:

• engaging the visualization scope with a chassis of the imaging element cleaning apparatus in a seated position, wherein the imaging element cleaning apparatus includes a control body translatably attached to the chassis for enabling movement of the control body between a fully retracted position and a fully displaced position relative to the chassis to thereby define an overall amount of axial displacement of the control body relative to the chassis along an axial reference axis, wherein an imaging element surface of the visualization scope is axially spaced away from a cleaning member of the imaging element cleaning apparatus by an offset distance when the control body is in the fully displaced position, wherein the cleaning member is fixedly coupled to the control body whereby axial translation of the control body between the fully retracted position and the fully displaced position correspondingly causes axial translation of the cleaning member between a stowed position and a fully extended position;
• determining a particular spacer body of a set of spacer bodies having a spacer body width greater than the offset distance and less than the spacer body width of each other one of the spacer bodies of the set having a respective spacer body width greater than the offset distance;
• and
• engaging the particular spacer body with at least one of the control body and the chassis to provide a spacer-limited amount of axial displacement of the control body relative to the chassis.
