    How to fix coarse focus adjustment knob that does not rotate smoothly on Olympus Microscope?
    • S
      Sonya HollowayAug 25, 2025
      If the coarse focus adjustment knob does not rotate smoothly on your Olympus Microscope, it is because the rotation tension of the knob is set too high. Decrease the rotation tension to an optimum level.

    Why do the left and right fields of view not coincide on my Olympus Microscope?
    • K
      Kyle JamesAug 28, 2025
      If the left and right fields of view do not coincide on your Olympus Microscope, it could be due to a few reasons. First, the interpupillary distance might be adjusted improperly, so adjust it correctly. Second, the diopter might be adjusted incorrectly, so adjust it correctly. Finally, the left and right eyepieces might be different, so use a pair of matched eyepieces.

    What to do if the field of view is partially obscured on Olympus SZX10 Microscope?
    • S
      Stephanie RichardsonAug 30, 2025
      If the field of view is obscured partially or illuminated unevenly on your Olympus Microscope, it could be because the aperture iris diaphragm is stopped down excessively; open the aperture iris diaphragm. It may also be caused by the trinocular observation tube and/or intermediate attachments being installed improperly; mount them properly. Another cause may be that the light path selector knob is in an intermediate position; set it correctly to the desired position.

    Why does zooming cause defocusing of the observed image on my Olympus Microscope?
    • T
      Tiffany ColeSep 1, 2025
      If zooming causes defocusing of the observed image on your Olympus Microscope, it could be because the eyepiece diopter is adjusted improperly; adjust it correctly. It may also be that the focus adjustment is inaccurate; adjust focus at a high magnification.

    How to fix a partially cut off monitor image on Olympus SZX10 Microscope?
    • D
      Daniel LeeSep 2, 2025
      If the monitor image is cut off partially on your Olympus Microscope, it is because the light path selector knob is pulled out incompletely. Pull it out all the way.

    What causes my Olympus SZX10 body to drop spontaneously?
    • B
      Becky MillerSep 4, 2025
      If the microscope body drops spontaneously, causing the focusing to be deviated during observation, it could be because the rotation tension of the coarse focus adjustment knob is set too low; increase the rotation tension to an optimum level. Also, if the weight exceeded 10 kg, use a focusing assembly withstanding heavy loads. (SZX2- FOF: 2.7 to 15 kg. SZX2-FOFH: 8 to 25 kg.)

    Why are the details of observed image solid on my Olympus Microscope?
    • D
      David AndersonSep 6, 2025
      If the details of the observed image are solid on your Olympus Microscope, it is because the aperture iris diaphragm is stopped down excessively. Open the aperture to a proper diameter.
