The Olympus Microscope lamp bulb might not light because it is not mounted, it is blown, or the power cord is unplugged. To resolve this, attach a bulb if it is not mounted, replace the bulb if it is blown, or securely plug in the power cord.
Why is my Olympus Microscope image blurred?
The observation image may appear whitish, blurred, or unclear if the objective is not engaged in the light path, the objective, eyepiece, condenser, or specimen glasses are dirty, immersion oil is not used with an immersion objective, bubbles are mixed in the immersion oil, or the specified immersion oil is not used. Ensure the objective is engaged, clean all dirty components, use immersion oil if required, remove any bubbles, and use the immersion oil supplied by Olympus.
How to remove dust from Olympus Microscope observation field?
Dust or stains may be visible in the observation field because the eyepiece, condenser, window lens, or specimen glasses are dirty. Clean them thoroughly to resolve this issue.
How to fix uneven brightness in Olympus CX21 Microscope?
Uneven brightness in the observation field can occur if the objective is not engaged in the light path, the condenser is too low, or the objective, eyepiece, condenser, and/or window lens are dirty. Engage the objective until it clicks, raise the condenser to the upper limit, and thoroughly clean all dirty components.
What to do if Olympus CX21 Microscope image glares?
If the observation image glares, it might be because the condenser is too low or the condenser iris diaphragm ring is stopped down excessively. Raise the condenser and adjust the aperture according to the objective magnification.
Why Olympus CX21 fields of view of two eyes do not match?
If the fields of view for the two eyes do not match, it could be due to the interpupillary distance not being adjusted properly, the diopter compensation for the two eyes not being set, or the left and right eyepieces being different. Adjust the interpupillary distance and diopter compensation correctly. If the eyepieces are different, replace one to ensure they are identical.
Why is part of my Olympus CX21 image defocused?
If part of the image is defocused or looks like it's flowing, it may be because the objective is not properly engaged in the light path or the specimen is not set properly on the stage. Engage the objective into position until it clicks and set the specimen correctly on the stage, securing it with the specimen holder.
Why does Olympus CX21 Microscope objective hit the specimen?
The objective may hit the specimen when switching to a higher magnification if the specimen is upside down or the cover glass is too thick. Set the specimen correctly with the cover glass on top and use a cover glass with a thickness of 0.17 mm.
Why coarse focus adjustment of Olympus Microscope cannot lower the stage low enough?
If the coarse focus adjustment cannot lower the stage enough, the condenser may be too low. Raise the condenser.
Why high-magnification objective of Olympus Microscope touches specimen?
The high-magnification objective might touch the specimen just before coming into focus if the specimen is upside down. Set the specimen correctly with the cover glass on the top.
