    What to do if the field of view of one eye does not match that of the other on my Olympus Microscope?
    • J
      John HumphreySep 8, 2025
      If the field of view of one eye does not match that of the other on your Olympus Microscope, consider these solutions: * Adjust the interpupillary distance. * Adjust the diopter. * Change one eyepiece to match the other so that both sides are of the same type. * When looking into eyepieces, do not stare at the image from the beginning but see the overall field of view. It is sometimes recommended to turn your eyes away from eyepieces, look far off and look into eyepieces again.
