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.

  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.

What to do if my Olympus Microscope body drops spontaneously during observation?
- A
  Alexis HooperSep 14, 2025
  If the microscope body drops spontaneously, causing the focusing to be deviated during observation with your Olympus Microscope, it may be due to: * The rotation tension of the coarse focus adjustment knob is set too low: Increase the rotation tension to an optimum level. * The microscope body dropped spontaneously because 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.)
