  A hazy or unclear observation image on your Labomed Microscope can occur for several reasons: * The objective may not be fully engaged in the light path; ensure it clicks into position. * The objective, eyepiece, condenser, or specimen glasses might be dirty; clean them thoroughly. * If using an immersion objective, immersion oil may be required. Use it if needed. * Bubbles might be present in the immersion oil; remove them by agitation. * The incorrect immersion oil may be in use; use the immersion oil supplied by Labomed.
