Why is one side of the image blurred on my Olympus CX41?
If one side of the image is blurred or the image seems to waver on your Olympus Microscope, ensure the objective is correctly engaged in the light path by confirming the revolving nosepiece clicks into place correctly. Also, make sure the specimen is correctly mounted on the stage and secured with the specimen holder.
Why does the image blur when moving the specimen on my Olympus CX41?
If the image blurs as you move the specimen on your Olympus Microscope, ensure the specimen is correctly positioned on the stage. Mount the specimen correctly by applying it on the stage surface and inserting it below the specimen holder.
How to fix coarse adjustment knob if it is hard to turn on Olympus Microscope?
