Why does the light burn out too soon on my National 160?
If the light in your National Microscope burns out too soon, the voltage might be too high. Adjust the intensity control to the minimum position before turning the power switch on.
Why is the illumination uneven on my National 160?
If you experience uneven illumination of the field on your National Microscope, make sure the nosepiece is properly indexed by revolving it into the positive index stop. Additionally, adjust the iris diaphragm to the proper level.
What causes the light bulb to burn out immediately on a National 160?
If the light bulb in your National Microscope burns out immediately after replacement, ensure you are using the proper lamp (12 volt 20 watt). Also, make sure the unit is plugged into the correct outlet (120v or 220v).
Why is there no image on my National Microscope?
If you are not seeing any image on your National Microscope, ensure that the nosepiece is correctly indexed by moving it until the objective lens clicks into position. Also, check the light intensity control and adjust it to a lower position if the light is too bright.
How to remove spots in the field of view on a National 160?
If you notice spots in the field of view while using your National Microscope, the issue is likely due to dirty lenses or the specimen slide. Try cleaning the eyepiece lenses, the specimen slide, and the condenser lens to resolve the problem.
What to do if the light flickers on a National 160?
If the light on your National Microscope flickers, it could be due to several reasons. Make sure the lamp is properly inserted into the socket. It's also possible the lamp is about to burn out and needs replacement. Check that the fuse holder is correctly locked into position. Finally, a loose connection at the AC outlet could be the cause; in this case, have a qualified service technician repair the outlet.
Why is the image not sharp on my National Microscope?
If you're experiencing poor resolution or a blurry image with your National Microscope, consider these potential causes and solutions: * **Dirty Lenses:** Clean both the objective and eyepiece lenses, as well as the condenser lens. * **Slide Issues:** Ensure the specimen slide is not upside down (cover slip facing up) and that the cover slip is 0.17mm thick. * **Light Adjustment:** Reduce the light intensity if there's too much light. * **Rack Stop:** Adjust the rack stop to the proper position.
How to fix a National 160 when the light fails to operate?

If the outlet is inoperative, have a qualified service technician repair it. The lamp or fuse might be burned out, requiring replacement. If the fuse burns out too soon, replace it with a time-delay fuse. If the fuse blows instantly upon replacement, the unit has a short and should be repaired by a qualified technician. Finally, ensure you are using the specified lamp with the correct voltage and base.
