If the Olympus Microscope bulb does not light, check the following: * Ensure the IX2-UCB power cord is plugged into a power outlet. * Make sure the main switch of the IX2-UCB is set to “I” (ON). * Verify the transmitted lamp ON/OFF switch on the IX81 frame is ON. * If the above steps don't work, the bulb may be burnt out and require replacement.
What to do if the field of view is obscured on Olympus IX81 Microscope?
If the field of view is obscured or not evenly illuminated on your Olympus Microscope, check the following: * The light path selector knob of the trinocular tube may be set to an intermediate position. Set the light path selector button to a click position according to the purpose. * You might be using an objective that falls outside the condenser’s illumination range. Use a condenser that matches the objective. * The field iris diaphragm may not be properly centered. Center the field iris diaphragm correctly. * The field iris diaphragm might be stopped down too far. Open the field iris diaphragm sufficiently. * The light path selector knob may be in an intermediate position. Turn the knob as far as it will go or engage it at the click stop according to the observation method.
