Why can't I vary the brightness on my Olympus BX51M?
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.
Why won't the voltage indication vary on my Olympus BX51M?
If all voltage indicator LEDs light and the voltage indication cannot be varied with the brightness control on your Olympus Microscope, it could be due to these reasons: * The lamp bulb is not installed. Attach the lamp bulb. * The lamp bulb is burnt out. Replace the lamp bulb. * The lamp housing output connector is unplugged. Plug in the lamp housing output connector.
Why can't I increase the lamp intensity voltage on my Olympus Microscope?
If the lamp intensity voltage cannot be increased with the brightness control on your Olympus Microscope, the lamp bulb may be burned out. Replace the lamp bulb.
