ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 

PROBLEM 

CAUSE 

SOLUTION 

The lamp can’t light 

No power to the lamp 

Check the power cord is connected correctly 

NOTE:  Lamp Replacement 

The LED illuminator will provide approximately 
20,000 hours of illumination under normal use.  If 
you should need to replace the LED bulb, please 
contact an authorized ACCU-SCOPE service 
center or call ACCU-SCOPE at 1-888-289-2228 for 
an authorized service center near you. 

The light intensity is not 
enough 

Not use an designated lamp 

use an designated lamp 

The brightness adjustment knob is used 
wrong 

Adjust the brightness adjustment knob in a 
correct way 

MISCELLANEOUS 

The field of view of one eye 
does not match that of the 
other 

The interpupillary distance is not correct 

Adjust the interpupillary distance 

The diopter is not right 

Adjust the diopter 

Your view is not accustomed to the 
microscope observation and widefield 
eyepieces 

Upon looking into eyepieces, try looking at 
the overall field before concentrating on the 
specimen range. You may also find it helpful 
to look up and into distance for a moment 
before looking into the microscope again. 

The indoor window or the 
fluorescence lamp is 
photographed. 

The stray light entered through the eyepieces 
or viewfinder is reflected 

Cap both the eyepieces and photomicroscope  
system’s viewfinder
