Why is the field of view cut off or unevenly illuminated on my Olympus SZX-R Microscope?
The field of view may be cut off or unevenly illuminated because the aperture iris diaphragm is stopped down excessively. To fix this, open the aperture. Also, check if the observation tube and intermediate attachment are not correctly mounted; if so, mount them correctly. For SZX-TR30 models, ensure the light path selector knob is correctly set to the desired position.
What to do if the image is not sharp on Olympus SZX-R?
If the image appears unsharp or lacks sufficient contrast, make sure the objective is correctly mounted until it stops. Also, check the objective front lens for dust and clean the lens surface if necessary.
How to fix incomplete binocular vision on Olympus SZX-R Microscope?
Incomplete binocular vision can occur if the interpupillary distance is not correctly adjusted; adjust it correctly. It may also happen if the diopter adjustment is incomplete; complete the diopter adjustment. Finally, ensure that you are using a pair of matched eyepieces.
What to do if specimen image blurs when zoom magnification is changed on Olympus SZX-R?
If the specimen image blurs when the zoom magnification is changed, the diopter ring may not be correctly adjusted. Adjust it correctly. Also, ensure that the specimen is in complete focus; focus the specimen correctly at a high magnification.
Why is there excessive image contrast on my Olympus SZX-R Microscope?
Excessive image contrast can occur if the aperture is stopped down excessively, especially when using the built-in aperture iris diaphragm and SZX-AS. To resolve this, open the aperture to the proper diameter.
What to do if coarse focus adjustment knobs rotate with too much resistance on Olympus Microscope?
