Why is the color of the image not accurate on my AmScope Microscope?
If the color of the image on your AmScope Microscope is not accurate, adjust the brightness knob to a higher or lower setting for color clarity. Also, remove any color filter if natural light is desired, or insert the desired filter.
How to fix an unclear image on my AmScope Microscope?
To fix an unclear image on your AmScope Microscope, ensure that a standard-sized (0.17mm thickness) cover slip is correctly placed on the slide. Objectives are designed for use with a 0.17mm cover slip, so it is a requirement to use one for proper images. If you are using a correct cover slip, but the image is still unclear, replace the cover slip with the appropriate 0.17mm thickness slip. Also, if you are using the 100x objective, use standard cedarwood immersion oil for better clarity and resolution. If you are using immersion oil, ensure there are no air bubbles in the oil and that the oil hasn't accumulated on a dry objective. If oil has accumulated on the dry objective, thoroughly clean the objective lens with lens cleaner or a lint-free nonabrasive cloth. Finally, make sure that the...
Why won't the fine focusing knob raise the stage on my AmScope 120?
If the fine focusing knob on your AmScope Microscope won’t raise the stage, the limit-stop is likely engaged. Disengage the limit stop (move up) on the rear of the stage of the microscope inside the coarse focusing knob.
Why won't the coarse focusing knob raise the stage on my AmScope 120 Microscope?
If the coarse focusing knob on your AmScope Microscope won’t raise the stage, the limit-stop is likely engaged. Disengage the limit stop (move up) on the rear of the stage of the microscope inside the coarse focusing knob.
Why does the focus knob not turn on my AmScope Microscope?
If the focus knob on your AmScope Microscope does not turn, the tension knob is likely too tight. Loosen it by adjusting the tension ring inside the coarse focus knob counterclockwise (close to the arm of the microscope on the left of the microscope).
Why does the stage decline by itself on my AmScope 120?
If the stage on your AmScope Microscope declines by itself, the tension knob is likely too loose. Tighten it by adjusting the tension ring inside the coarse focus knob clockwise (close to the arm of the microscope on the left of the microscope).
Why does the bulb burn out frequently on my AmScope 120 Microscope?
If the bulb in your AmScope Microscope burns out frequently, it indicates that the voltage is too high. Use the correct power supply (110v if 110v unit, 220v if 220v unit), or get a voltage adapter to convert to the proper electrical system.
Why does the fuse burn out frequently in my AmScope 120 Microscope?
If the fuse in your AmScope Microscope burns out frequently, it indicates that the voltage is too high. Use the correct power supply (110v if 110v unit, 220v if 220v unit), or get a voltage adapter to convert to the proper electrical system.
Why can't I see anything in the camera / Image is black on my Trinocular AmScope 120 Microscope?
If you cannot see anything in the camera or the image is black when using the trinocular port on your AmScope Microscope, slide the silver metal pin out on the head of the microscope to allow light to reach the trinocular port. This opens the trinocular port shutter.
Why is the field of view not bright enough on my AmScope 120 Microscope?
If the field of view on your AmScope Microscope isn't bright enough, adjust the iris diaphragm to allow the light to be just larger than the condenser. Also, adjust the condenser height to the top of the travel range, then adjust down to focus the image. Ensure that all lenses (condenser, objective, eyepieces, and base lens) are clean; thoroughly clean them with lens cleaner or a lint-free nonabrasive cloth.
