If you're seeing dust or stains in the observation field of your Olympus Microscope, the eyepiece, condenser, window lens, and/or specimen glasses may be dirty. Clean these components thoroughly to resolve the issue.
Why is the observation image on my Olympus Microscope whitish, blurred, or unclear?
If the observation image on your Olympus Microscope appears whitish, blurred, or unclear, several factors could be responsible. First, ensure the objective is fully engaged in the light path until it clicks into position. Also, the objective, eyepiece, condenser, and specimen glasses should be thoroughly cleaned. If using an immersion objective, ensure you are using immersion oil, and that there are no bubbles present in the oil. Finally, verify that you are using the immersion oil supplied by Olympus.
Why is there uneven brightness in the observation field of my Olympus CX21LED?
Uneven brightness in the observation field of your Olympus Microscope can occur for several reasons. Ensure the objective is fully engaged in the light path until it clicks. If the condenser is too low, raise it to its upper limit. Additionally, the objective, eyepiece, condenser, and window lens may be dirty, so clean them thoroughly.
What to do if the observation image glares on my Olympus CX21LED Microscope?
Glare in the observation image of your Olympus Microscope can be due to a couple of issues. Check if the condenser is too low and raise it. Also, the condenser iris diaphragm ring might be stopped down excessively; adjust the aperture according to the objective magnification.
Why does part of the image look defocused or flowing on my Olympus CX21LED?
If part of the image appears defocused or looks like it's flowing on your Olympus Microscope, first ensure that the objective is properly engaged in the light path until it clicks. Also, check that the specimen is correctly set on the stage and secured using the specimen holder.
How to adjust the tension of the coarse adjustment knob on my Olympus CX21LED Microscope?
If the tension of the coarse adjustment knob on your Olympus Microscope is too high, it means that the coarse adjustment knob tension adjustment ring is set too tight. Loosen the ring to adjust it to the proper tension.
Why do the fields of view of two eyes not match on my Olympus Microscope?
If the fields of view for both eyes don't match on your Olympus Microscope, there are a few things to check. First, ensure the interpupillary distance is adjusted properly. Next, verify that the diopter compensation for both eyes is correctly set. Lastly, confirm that the left and right eyepieces are identical; if they are different, replace one to match the other.
What to do if the Olympus CX21LED Microscope objective hits the specimen when switching to higher magnification?
If the objective of your Olympus Microscope hits the specimen when switching to a higher magnification, it could be due to the specimen being upside down; ensure it is correctly oriented with the cover glass on top. Alternatively, the cover glass may be too thick; use one with a thickness of 0.17 mm.
Why can't the coarse focus adjustment lower the stage enough on my Olympus CX21LED?
If the coarse focus adjustment on your Olympus Microscope cannot lower the stage enough, the condenser might be too low. Try raising it.
Why does the high-magnification objective touch the specimen on my Olympus Microscope?
If the high-magnification objective of your Olympus Microscope touches the specimen just before coming into focus, the specimen may be upside down. Make sure to set the specimen correctly with the cover glass on the top.
