To Next PageTo Next PageWhy is my Olympus IX73 bulb not lighting?
The bulb may not be lighting due to several reasons: * The power cord might be unplugged. Ensure it's securely plugged into a power outlet. * The main switch might not be turned on. Set the main switch to the “I” (ON) position. * The bulb itself could be burnt out, requiring a replacement.
What to do if the field of view is dark on my Olympus IX73 Microscope?
If the bulb lights but the field of view is dark, consider these potential causes and solutions: * The lamp voltage may be too low. Try increasing the light intensity to an optimum voltage. * The condenser might not be well-positioned. Adjust the condenser height until the field iris diaphragm image is formed in the specimen plane. * The light path selector knob may be set for the left side port light path. Change the light path. * Too many filters may be in use. Reduce the number of filters to the minimum required. * The stage center plate may be engaged in the light path. Move the stage and place the specimen again. * The field iris diaphragm may not be opened wide enough. Open the field iris diaphragm sufficiently.
How to fix uneven illumination on my Olympus IX73 Microscope?
Uneven or obscured illumination in the field of view of your Olympus Microscope can be due to: * Using an objective that falls outside the condenser’s illumination range. Use a condenser that matches the objective. * An improperly centered field iris diaphragm. Center the field iris diaphragm correctly. * A field iris diaphragm stopped down too far. Open the field iris diaphragm sufficiently. * A filter stopped in an intermediate position. Set the filter at the appropriate position.
Why does my Olympus IX73 Microscope image become defocused over time?
Defocusing over time with your Olympus Microscope can occur because: * Thermal drift occurs due to fluctuations in room temperature. Keep the room temperature as constant as possible. * When using IX3-SVR, the thermal drift could be small by loosening the holder fixing screws (4 pcs.) once and tightening them lightly.
What causes glare in my Olympus Microscope image?
Image glare in your Olympus Microscope can be caused by: * The condenser being raised too high. Lower it to the proper position. * The aperture iris diaphragm being stopped down too far. Open the aperture iris diaphragm.
Why do I see dirt in my Olympus IX73 Microscope's field of view?
Visible dirt or dust in the field of view of your Olympus Microscope may be due to: * Dirt/dust on the specimen. Clean the specimen thoroughly. * The condenser not being correctly positioned, focusing the frost filter or another filter. Adjust the condenser height until the field iris diaphragm image is formed in the specimen plane.
Why is one side of my Olympus Microscope field of view blurred?
A blurred part or side of the field of view in your Olympus Microscope is likely because the specimen is tilted with respect to the stage. Place the specimen correctly on the stage and secure it with the stage clip.
Why do the fields of view not match in my Olympus IX73 Microscope?
Mismatching fields of view between eyes on your Olympus Microscope can result from: * Incorrect interpupillary distance. Adjust the interpupillary distance. * Incorrect diopter adjustment. Adjust the diopter. * Not being accustomed to parallel optical axis. When looking into the 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 the eyepieces, look far off and look into the eyepieces again.
