      If the field of view of one eye does not match that of the other on your Olympus Microscope, adjust the interpupillary distance and diopter. Ensure that the eyepieces used on the left and right sides are the same type. Also, try looking at the overall field before concentrating on the specimen range to accustom your view to the microscope observation.
