7 Troubleshooting
7.1 General information
This chapter deals mainly with the most common microscope problems that may occur
as experience has shown. Possible problems may be caused by operator errors, sam-
ples unsuitable for the measurement technique in question or misaligned, damaged or
defect microscope components, for example.
Important note: Due to complex instrumental setup, it is recommended to proceed sys-
tematically. First try to find out which instrument (FT IR spectrometer or HYPERION
microscope) has cause the problem. For this reason, consult also the User Manual of
the FT IR spectrometer in question for troubleshooting. Not until you can preclude the FT
IR spectrometer being the trouble source, consult the chapter Troubleshooting in the
HYPERION User Manual.

lowing categories:

• Problems regarding the motorized microscope stage
• Problems regarding the ATR objective
• Problems regarding the mapping measurements
• Problems regarding the FPA detector

is too low.
