Troubleshooting
This section provides many useful tips on how to solve common problems
while setting up or using the PrepScope 2/CoreScope 2:
I can’t see an image. I only see a partial image.
• Check to see if the power supply is plugged into an outlet or
charged if using cordless.
• Check to see if the LED lights are turned on by pushing the
power switch on the back of the microscope.
• Turn the disc diaphragm to allow more light on the prepared
slide.
• Check to see if the dimmer switch is turned to allow the
intensity of light to increase.
• Check to see if the objective lens is clicked into place.
It is difficult to get an image in focus.
• Adjust the coarse focus knobs slowly.
• Change the objective lens until you hear it click in place.
• Adjust the eyepieces and the diopter slowly until you see one
focused image.
• Check to see if there has been damage to the objective
lenses or eyepiece(s). If the lens/eyepiece is dirty, use lens
paper and distilled water to rub gently to clean.
NOTE:
Never rub the lens/eyepiece when it is dry. This can cause static
charge that will attract dirt.
