Why is the image unclear on my AmScope 150 Microscope?
- CCheryl ConwayAug 1, 2025
If the image in your AmScope Microscope appears unclear, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure that a standard-sized (0.17mm thickness) cover slip is correctly placed on the slide, as the objectives are designed for use with one. If a cover slip is already in place, check that it is the correct size and replace if needed. Also, adjust the aperture to have the light just larger than the size of the condenser. Finally, inspect the lens in the inlet of the head for any stains or dust; if present, clean it using lens cleaner or a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth, and consider using compressed air to remove any remaining particles.
