    How to resolve unequal focus issues with my Motic Panthera?
    • S
      Sandra HinesAug 19, 2025
      Unequal focus in your Motic Microscope might be due to the stage being installed on an inclined plane, the specimen holder not being fixed securely on the stage, or the specimen not being secured in position. To fix this, ensure the stage is installed on a level plane, secure the specimen holder on the stage, and secure the specimen in position.

    What to do if focusing is not possible with high magnification objectives on my Motic Microscope?
    • D
      David LucasAug 21, 2025
      If you are unable to focus with high magnification objectives on your Motic Microscope, it could be due to the slide being upside down or the cover glass being too thick. Check and correct the slide orientation, and use an appropriately thin cover glass.

    • J
      Jonathan MitchellAug 25, 2025
      Insufficient parfocality of objectives in your Motic Microscope can be caused by the eyepiece diopter not being adjusted. To correct this, adjust the eyepiece diopter.

    How to fix dust or dirt in the field of view of my Motic Panthera Microscope?
    • K
      Kevin PorterAug 28, 2025
      If you notice dust or dirt in the field of view of your Motic Microscope, it might be due to several factors. The aperture diaphragm may be closed too far, or the condenser might be set too low. Additionally, the specimen surface, field lens, filter, condenser, or eyepiece could be dirty. To address this, try opening the aperture diaphragm and adjusting the condenser height. Also, clean the specimen surface, field lens, filter, condenser, or eyepiece to remove any dust or dirt.

    What to do if my Motic Panthera image is tinged yellow?
    • T
      Teresa WongAug 30, 2025
      If the image in your Motic Microscope appears tinged yellow, it could be because the lamp voltage is set too low or the blue filter is not being used. To correct this, increase the lamp voltage and ensure the blue filter is in use.

    What causes eye strain or fatigue when using a Motic Panthera Microscope?
    • D
      Dawn FoleySep 3, 2025
      Eye strain or fatigue when using the Motic Microscope can be caused by several factors: the interpupillary distance not being adjusted, the diopter adjustment not being made, the field of view of the left and right eyepiece differing, or inadequate illumination. To alleviate this, adjust the interpupillary distance, make the diopter adjustment, match the field of view of both eyepieces, and increase the illumination.

    Why do high magnification objectives strike the specimen when changing magnifications on my Motic Panthera?
    • W
      William CervantesSep 5, 2025
      If high magnification objectives strike the specimen when changing from low to high magnification on your Motic Microscope, it could be because the slide is upside down, the cover glass is too thick, or the eyepiece diopter is not adjusted. Check and correct the slide orientation, use an appropriately thin cover glass, and adjust the eyepiece diopter.

    Why is the lamp not lighting on my Motic Panthera?
    • G
      Gene MartinezSep 7, 2025
      If the lamp on your Motic Microscope is not lighting, there are a few potential reasons: the power supply might not be plugged in, the lamp might not be installed, or the lamp might be burnt out. To resolve this, plug in the power supply, install the lamp, or replace the burnt out lamp.

    How to resolve no cohesion of binocular image in my Motic Microscope?
    • J
      Jesse OconnellSep 12, 2025
      If there is no cohesion of the binocular image in your Motic Microscope, it could be due to the magnification or field of view of the left and right eyepieces differing, or the interpupillary distance not being adjusted, or the eyepiece diopter not being adjusted. To fix this, match the magnification and field of view of both eyepieces, adjust the interpupillary distance and adjust the eyepiece diopter.
