Why doesn't the field of view of one eye match the other on my Olympus Microscope?
- T
  Tammy HendricksSep 12, 2025
  If the field of view of one eye does not match that of the other on your Olympus Microscope, it could be due to: * Incorrect interpupillary distance. Adjust the interpupillary distance. * Incorrect diopter adjustment. Adjust the diopter. * Your view is not accustomed to microscope observation. Upon looking into eyepieces, try looking at the overall field before concentrating on the specimen range. You may also find it helpful to look up and into the distance for a moment before looking back into the microscope.
