If the brightness cannot be varied with the brightness control on your Olympus Microscope, the light preset switch may be set to ON. Set it to OFF.
What to do if my Olympus BX51M coarse movement cannot reach the upper limit?
If the coarse movement on your Olympus Microscope cannot reach the upper limit, it may be because the pre-focusing lever is locked at the low position. Release the pre-focusing lever.
What causes dirt or dust in the Olympus BX51M field of view?
If you see dirt or dust in the field of view of your Olympus Microscope, it could be due to dirt/dust on the specimen. Clean the specimen thoroughly.
