If your Zeiss Microscope's 12 V 100 W halogen lamp isn't working even when the on/off switch is on, there are several potential causes. Check if the power plug is properly connected to a functioning power outlet. Ensure a 12 V 100 W halogen lamp is correctly installed. If the lamp is installed, it may be defective and need replacement. Verify that you are using the specified 12 V, 100 W halogen lamp. Inspect the fuses and replace them if they are defective. As a last resort, the electronic module might be defective, requiring a check and potential replacement by a service technician. Also, test the power outlet with another device to ensure it supplies voltage.

How to remove dirt or dust from Zeiss Axio Imager 2 Microscope field of view?
D
David McdonaldAug 20, 2025
If you observe dirt or dust in the field of view of your Zeiss Microscope, several factors could be responsible. Start by ensuring the condenser is correctly focused and that front lens 0.9 is swiveled in or out correctly. Also, check that the aperture diaphragm opening isn't too small. Finally, inspect the optical surfaces of the objectives, eyepieces, condensers, filters, or specimens for dirt or dust, and clean them if necessary.

If you observe shadows or uneven brightness in the Zeiss Microscope's field of view, and the field isn't fully visible, it could be due to several factors. First, ensure the vis/doc push-pull rod on the phototube is in the correct end position. Next, confirm that the nosepiece with the objective has clicked securely into place. Also, check the condenser, aperture diaphragm and luminous-field diaphragm to ensure they are correctly set. Finally, make sure the filter is correctly inserted in the filter mount.

Christina ThompsonAug 26, 2025
If you're experiencing eye-fatiguing microscopy with your Zeiss Microscope, several factors could be contributing. Begin by ensuring the interpupillary distance of the binocular tube is correctly set. Next, verify that the focusing eyepieces are adjusted to your appropriate ametropia. Adjust the lamp voltage or insert the conversion filter to optimize image brightness. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the binocular tube may be optically or mechanically misaligned, requiring inspection and repair by a Microscopy Service.

If you are experiencing low resolving power and poor image contrast with your Zeiss Microscope, several factors could be contributing. Check that the aperture diaphragm is opened to the correct size, using the 2/3 rule or matching the specimen features. Ensure the condenser is correctly focused and front lens 0.9 is swiveled in or out correctly. Confirm you are using standardized 0.17 mm cover glasses. Verify the specimen slide is placed right side up. If using immersion objectives, use Immersol 518 F® immersion oil from Carl Zeiss. Also, check for and remove any air bubbles in the immersion oil.

Mary PatrickAug 30, 2025
If the 12 V 100 W halogen lamp in your Zeiss Microscope flickers or the light intensity fluctuates, it could be due to several reasons. The lamp may be nearing the end of its average service life and need replacement. Check the power cable for incorrect installation or breakage, and connect or replace it as needed. Also, make sure the pins of the 12 V 100 W halogen lamp are correctly inserted in the receptacle.

Why are Zeiss Axio Imager 2 Microscope images asymmetrically blurred?
J
Jennifer LittleSep 2, 2025
If you're seeing asymmetrically blurred images with your Zeiss Microscope, where one side is in focus and the other is not, several issues could be the cause. Ensure that the condenser is correctly set. Verify that the nosepiece has clicked into place. Also, check that the specimen is correctly inserted and clamped in position on the stage.

lindseybradleySep 5, 2025
If you notice major focus differences after changing objectives on your Zeiss Microscope, it might be because the focusing eyepieces haven't been set correctly, so set the focusing eyepieces to the appropriate ametropia. Ensure the objective is fully screwed in. Another potential cause is the tube lens; either insert it if it's missing or remove it if it's superfluous.

Why can't I combine the fields of view on my Zeiss Axio Imager 2?
K
Kristin PerezSep 8, 2025
If the left and right fields of view cannot be combined into one image on your Zeiss Microscope, it is possible that the interpupillary distance of the binocular tube has not been set correctly, so set the interpupillary distance correctly. Also, the focusing eyepieces may not be set correctly, so set the focusing eyepieces to the appropriate ametropia.

Why is there no DIC effect on my Zeiss Axio Imager 2?
T
Tracy ChangSep 12, 2025
If you are not getting a DIC effect on your Zeiss Microscope, it is because the polarizing elements are not in the beam path. Move the polarizing elements into the beam path and set them to crossed position.
