If the image cannot be focused, it might be because you forgot to reattach the upper stopper screw when adjusting the stage height. Reattach the upper stopper screw.
How to fix a blurred image on one side of my Olympus BX51?
A blurred image on one side may be due to the objective not being correctly engaged in the light path (make sure that revolving nosepiece clicks into place correctly), the revolving nosepiece not being correctly mounted (push slide dovetail all the way until it is stopped), the stage not being correctly mounted (re-attach it), or the specimen not being correctly mounted on stage (place specimen correctly on top of stage and secure it with slide holder).
What to do if my Olympus BX51 field of view is dark?
If the bulb is operating but the field of view remains dark, it could be due to the aperture and field iris diaphragms not being opened wide enough (adjust them to proper sizes), the condenser being lowered too much (adjust the condenser height position), or the light path selector knob being in the wrong position (move the knob to the correct position).
What to do if the Olympus BX51 image is not clear?
Poor visibility can be caused by several factors: * Using a non-UIS objective (use only UIS series objectives). * The condenser being lowered too far (adjust the condenser height position). * The aperture iris diaphragm being stopped down too far (open the aperture iris diaphragm). * The revolving nosepiece not being mounted properly (push the slide dovetail all the way until it is stopped). * The correction collar not being properly adjusted (turn the correction collar to find the best position while focusing). * The front lens of the objective being dirty (clean objective). * Immersion oil not being used with an oil immersion objective (use immersion oil).
How to fix Olympus BX51 when bulb does not light?
If the bulb does not light, it could be due to a few reasons. First, the bulb may be burned out, in which case you should replace it. Second, the power cord might be unplugged; plug the power cord into the power outlet. Finally, if you have a TRF model, the transmitted/reflected light switch might be set to reflected light; set the switch to transmitted light illumination.
