Well, I are a camera repair tech, so...
NEVER put ANYTHING against the bottom of an ultrasonic cleaner. Doing so will destroy the cleaner.
Put whatever you want to clean in a hanging basket. That can contain whatever you want.
I usually put large items directly in the basket, and smaller ones in a beaker in the basket.
I normally disassemble a shutter, clean the major individual parts, then put the escapement
in the ultrasonic cleaner for a half hour or so.
Having done so, it must be completely and properly lubricated before returning it to service.
This may require several different lubricants, applied where and as needed.
ALWAYS follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding lubricant, both type and use.
There are very few points other than the escapement that requite any lubrication.
DO NOT disassemble the escapement.
If you do, we'll find you in a heavy jacket in a rubber room.
NEVER put any lube on the diaphragm or shutter blades or their drives.
