What to do if the Leica M205 FCA Microscope target system receives too little light?
- T
  Taylor RobinsonAug 8, 2025
  If your Leica Microscope's target system isn't receiving enough light, or any at all, here's what you can check: * Ensure the shutter is open and the intensity switch isn't at its leftmost limit. If it is, open the shutter or rotate the intensity switch to the right. * Verify the light guide is correctly inserted into the light guide output. * Inspect the light guide for any damage. If damaged or defective, it should be repaired or replaced.

  Sherry OlsonAug 19, 2025
  If the power indicator on your Leica Microscope isn't lighting up and the instrument isn't functioning after being switched on, it could be due to a few reasons: 1. Check that the power supply voltage is present and that the connecting cable is correctly plugged in and not defective. 2. Inspect the fuses in the instrument. If they are defective, replace them, ensuring you use the permitted replacement type only.
